My boss told me yesterday that when he returns from vacation in November, we need to sit down and have our end of year discussion. I am so stressed out about this.

I have been a mess at work. Unmotivated, forgetful, missed a lot of work due to migraines, which I think were triggered by the depression. I think the depression probably started late spring and just got worse and worse.

Over the last week or so I have definitely felt better, have gotten a lot done and feel more like myself and haven't had a headache at all.

Last year the end of year discussion really upset me. I had been pretty over weight. I lost almost 40 lbs and felt much better about myself and began to dress better because I could actually buy clothes that looked good on me again. He actually brought it up in the discussion, that he was glad that he didn't have to bring up my wardrobe because I had been dressing better. I work at a large bank, in the public finance department, so no dealing with customers. I am an admin assistant and only the bankers actually wear suits but the rest of the staff is business casual, and so am I. I don't wear anything inappropriate by any means. It was just really annoying for him to bring it up cause he was glad he didn't have to bring it up!

How do I explain myself for my possibly poor performance over the last few months?

Don't make something out it that could be , look at your improvement and show you are better. Sounds like you want to see the worst case in your mind . Do your job well and the boss will always point out what weakness and strengths they need you to work on .
You kinda know what you need to fix so start there don't think the worst .Year end evaluations are used by many companies and are mandatory for the boss to do them . I didn't like them even when they patted me on the back . Don't be real defensive and take this as constructive .
