Not sure what to do

[Highway65]

I'm feeling so fed up with myself that I can't even be bothered to write this. Everything right now, big or small seems like a mountain to climb.

This is day 2 of not going to work. I just can't face it. I hate the place although the people are okay. It isn't busy enough, so the day drags. Then work lands on my desk and the effort I have to put in to get it started sometimes feels insurmountable.

I think finding a new job to fit in better with my family life would be a huge relief. But there aren't many out there!

I wonder whether it's just the job that's dragging my mood down or something else. My head is often full of negative thoughts but I send out the opposite signals to all my friends. To be honest, the only time I am truly happy is when I'm snuggled up on the sofa with my two kids. If it wasn't for them, life wouldn't be worth living

I could face to go to work and started to look for a new job. The work was making me very anxious. Before I could find a new job I got sacked. That was a relief because I couldn't resign myself.

Could you try to find a new job while still working in your old job? Also are you sure that the job is making you feeling as you do? I had two weeks off and gp said I can see if I feel miserable when off work. I felt miserable but at least somewhat better. Maybe having a chat with your gp would help?

I know exactly what you're talking about. I don't work anymore as I was made redundant and then got pregnant with DS so am a SAHM. Things are easier now but I still have days when I feel like that. Some weeks are better than others. Sorry no solutions here but know you are not alone.
