Hi I work full time in a crappy job, which is OK, I like it even though it's low paid and stressful.
I don't drive so I cycle twenty miles round trip and at work I wear a step counter and walk around 25000 steps a day which I believe is around ten miles.
I've been telling myself that this is OK except for my calves being sore but it isn't.
I am so tired, I cry quite a bit over nothing much, my house is a state, I hardly see my kids (who are grown up).
I had a mad episode and got taken to hospital to have my mental health assessed and was recommended to take some time off work and rest and I have to see someone regularly.(how I'll find the time for that I do not know).
I am worried about going back as I will have a disciplinary meeting as I have taken three days off, I am not going to tell work about the "episode", the police rung work and told them I was in hospital but didn't tell them why.
I am so tired.
I suppose this is how we all are, well some of us, when we work, it has always been this way for me anyway - long hours, low pay.
I put a lot of time and energy into my job and am under a lot of pressure there.
I feel so sad.
I can put on a smiley face and act buoyant and energetic and try and do my job well, but I think that by doing this I am ruining the rest of my life as I have neither the time nor energy for it.
I have one more day off then I am back on the bike and dragging myself to work.
I just wondered what other women's experiences are of working, do many of us feel like I do?
