I suspect that nhs 24 will tell you to contact your gp.
If you feel you are in mental health crisis, perhaps phone the Samaritans?
You can phone in sick and self certify for 7 days without a doctors note.

Dindin, I'll send you an appointment time, phone consultation only though.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

If you cite work related stress management will bring you in for a face to face so they can "remove" the stressors

I was signed off with stress six weeks ago. Soon as I sent my note in the DOM demand a face to face which went against Royal Mail own protocol. I get the impression when it comes to mental health they think you’re lying. I did contact first class help though who were very good but talk to your GP they can get you the help you need and don’t feel pressured by them to do anything.

Yes picture is right, they will even stop pay if you do not cooperate causing you more stress.!
