VVV long story short....almost 2 years ago H got made redundant from his management job, no notice given, was a bolt from the blue and we had to claim his severance from the Insolvency service. After 8 months of us both trying he managed to get a job in a warehouse on 0 hours contract and NMW.
To say it has been a struggle is understatement of the century, without help from my parents after the redundancy money ran out we would wouldnt have managed. Some weeks he had 2 shifts, some none at all.
Yesterday he started a permanent job in the career he was in pre-redundancy. Better money, guaranteed hours etc etc. Its what we have been looking for all along (I have been looking too but only managed 2 interviews in 18 months :( ), he is on cloud 9.
Why am I on the verge of tears the whole time? I just feel so miserable. His job will involve unsociable hours but he will be home every night and it was unsociable hours before so I dont think its that. I just have the overwhelming feeling of sadness, its not depression I dont think as I have had that and I know how it feels.
I am a coper by nature, I am fantastic at crisis management and seem to thrive on it. Perhaps now I dont need to "cope" in the same way, I am finally coming down from the stresses that started in November 2012?
I dont know what it is but I just feel so down :(
