first of all some info that might be important:



  • I'm a Webdeployer at a company out of ~10 people with huge costumers


  • Work there since 21th of September this year (not even 2 weeks)


  • Boss does know about my mental health


  • I can be fired (with no reason named) within the next 6 months


Before i got the job, i was in an intership with the company i work for now. I told them about my illness (mental) in the interview for the intership. I did so, because i felt it would be much easier for me that way.
I had the intership for around 10 weeks with a little break for my final exams. In the last week i got told they want me to start my work as a Webdeveloper there after i got done my finals.
My Boss said following in that conversation:




We had a guy some years ago, that needet to take a break for weeks almost 4 times a year. So i dont want to be rude, but i want to ask you, if maybe this would be the same for you?




At that time I felt like im stable and life finally turns out to be great! So my answer on this was following:




To be honest, I was in a clinic once for like 4 weeks. But that was 3 years ago and I dont think I will need something like that again.




This was back then. Now, around 2 months later, I do feel REALY instable and sensitive what goes down to some bigger problems. My Therapist told me to go to a clinic, in her opinion it was important and needed.



Now my question:



Should I go to a clinic and take a break from work? If so, how can I handle that? How to bring this topic up?



Im scared of beeing fired. Or missunderstood since what i said in the interview. I dont want them to think bad - or get rid of me.



Note: Im from Germany so don't mind my kinda bad english, please.
