A pathetic new low

I wou'dn't say I've hit rock bottom, but I'm certainly in shallow waters at the minute. This morning I had a bollocking so severe I fainted right there and then (the lack of food and sleep hadn't helped), now I'm having the rest of the day off on doctor's orders. I feel like I can't carry on like this. I don't want to lose my job, but if I stay I'm likely to have a nervous breakdown the way things are carrying on.:nervous:

The major complaint is my lack of communication. I find talking to people very difficult, and in an environment where teamwork is very important this is a problem. The trouble is, if I get a particularly shouty boss, it makes me even more scared to talk to them! :nervous:
I also make many stupid mistakes, but then lots of people do. I just feel like I'm getting singled out for the blame (I'm probably not, I think its just me being paranoid).
Can I ask if your workplace have put anything in place to actually help deal with the situation. Ideally a good workplace shouldn't just highlight problems but should work with you to try and deal with their concerns.
Can you approach them for a chance to discuss the issues outside of a bollocking - so that things might be calmer and then go to that meeting with some prepared notes about how you feel and what you think might help? They would hopefully be prepared to do the same and as a result maybe some kind of training or support could be put in place to improve the situation?
OP have you considered taking some time off as sick leave to help get level again?
Granted it's taken me nearly a year to even get a job (I'm starting a work trail next week, only at McDonalds. But it's something good!), all I've done is work for free for experience when I can get it in the time I quit.
Good luck with finding a new job.
