Mental

I'm going to see a physician soon, and I've taken a few days off work to prepare myself. I'm feeling really anxious about the appointment and even more anxious about what I might learn. This past year has been difficult for me outside of work, and it's taken a toll on my health. I'm not sure how to explain all of this to my boss or how to talk about why I've been so sick. I care about my job a lot, and I’m worried that this situation might affect it, even though none of this is something I wanted or could control. Has anyone been through this process and how did it all unfold after you’ve spoken to the boss or HR? Thx
