Penny, your fear of talking to your boss if far worse than any actual conversation you two will have. Think about it, what's the WORST thing that could happen? Getting fired.........okay, that would definately suck. But you've had other jobs before (i don't know what you do), and you could get something to make income until something better is available. If you feel you need to be hospitalized after your talk with your boss, so be it. I hope the hospital you have access to has a great mental health program.
But running from your problems only makes them loom larger. Go in to work tomorrow, on time, talk to your boss early (to get the anxiety just done with), be your wonderful strong self and decide from there what to do. You are meeting with your dr tomorrow evening and she can help you decide what to do.
I know you don't know me, and i only know you a little bit from these postings, but i have learned that facing your fears is ALWAYS better than running from them. Our minds tend to spiral and imagine the worst, and in reality the worst isn't usually what comes to fruition.
Please think about it, and let us know.
