Handing my notice in and feel guilty

[mummypig6]

I’m handing my notice in tomorrow been in my job 6 months .

I work with lovely people but the job is long hours I’m nearly 50 have teenagers and hit peri- menopause and women problems in a male environment it’s got worse since in this job.

I’ve been so I’ll the last 2 weeks hence my decision.

I have anxiety when I am there and feel guilty as I can’t be there for my daughter for the docs etc and have to have family step in I was always around for my daughter.

She is going into year 11 in September.

I am going back to temping , I know I will be ok because I will do anything for my family to put food on the table etc.

I’ve been there before I can adapt to any situation and I like the change, new people I get excited.

I know In my heart I’m doing the right thing I’m doing three jobs at work and then covering when others are off work or on holiday etc.

I work with young graduates they are all lovely I just want to go to work do my job I don’t care about a career or having to prove my worth.

But I can’t deal with menopause teenagers and a full time job.

How do women cope came of hrt and now have uti’s all the time .

I want to feel fulfilled in my life because when my kids leave what have I then.

Please advise is this a mid life crisis.

Sounds like you need to prioritise yrslf right now. Are you on hrt? Before I went on hrt, I experienced flooding a few times. Nightmare! I work nearer by now, have ten extra hours per week, plus hours are fewer. Not the best job in the world but I hear you. Take a break and let your health and thoughts settle! ✨️🍀

Why did you come off hrt? It's really helped me cope.

I was on hrt and the tablets then periods every two weeks then it all started and no period for two months.

Sorry came of the hrt maybe a big mistake.

I came of it because I kept bleeding and I wanted to go natural.

Could never speak to a doctor so went cold turkey and stopped the hrt.

The fact you are doing three people's jobs and covering leave should make you feel not one bit guilty. The business is taking advantage of your good nature and I'm sure they are not paying you three people's salaries. Do not feel one jot of guilt. You and your family first and the new temp positions may lead to fantastic new opportunities or at least a more stress free life. No guilt needed. Hand in your notice and be done with it.

Also feel your misery with the uti's aged 50. I've never had a uti and have had two in the last 6 months. Does HRT help with this?

I managed without HRT but every one is different, my main issues were aching joints and a bit of a short fuse. The bedding all the time sounds pretty horrendous, didn’t realise this was as wide effect of HRT but again everyone is different.

It’s probably covering for three jobs that’s the issue, no one of any age should be stretching themselves that thin.

Not bedding, bleeding !

I'm 50 and going through the menopause. I've been working in my field for 28 years - but I could honestly jack it all in tomorrow and go and work on Lidl's checkouts if they would have me.
I'm on HRT, but probably not on the right strength yet. I actually managed to get a GP appointment last month, and she prescribed me 50mg patches rather than the 25mg I've been on for nearly a year.
Except the 50mg patches are out of stock everywhere, and apparently I can't use 2× 25mg?

I constantly feel hot, cross, and irritated. I realise my shortcomings, and I know I'm out of order. But I just feel like I'm on a short fuse all the time.
It's probably a good job that I'm still paying my mortgage, otherwise I would have told literally everyone to fuck right off and gone home to bed for a year.

Wow all I can say is thank you for support and your experience in all of this it means a lot x

eyeore I don’t know to your question
