To help me keep calm and rational, new job offer

Hello,

You may have seen an old post, where I messed up a job offer by panicking and rejecting it. I was torn about it and kicking myself. Some lovely AIBU posters helped me see sense. (Background: I may have ADHD/ASD, have a referral in).

I've just been offered a job today for another similar role, more money. Less flexibility.

I am panicking and had to stop myself from rejecting it on the spot. Reasons I am panicking:

  • have a very steady term time only job, which is great currently but unfortunately isn't challenging enough/no growth and doesn't pay enough. Also the holidays are restrictive. My DD won't be at school for 3 years and attends a year round nursery so doesn't impact.

However I am studying 5-9 each evening and the job finishes at 4.30. I could make it in terms of time and distance as both fairly local but I am worried in advance of whether I won't make it! It's gonna be a rush each week. I have asked them to consider letting me finish 4.15.

I am worried about having to put my DD in nursery an extra day (current job is part time and I had one day off with her) I'm feeling guilty and selfish. I suppose I am being selfish but I want more money for the house especially with COL crisis.

Just freaking out a bit over the change (read: ASD) and on the verge of calling up to change my mind
