Started a new job 4 months ago dread going back in on Monday mornings but seem ok once I am there. I have been looking for something else but no luck so far
Was off sick with stomach pains last week I know I will be sacked as on probation was due to go back in today but I just couldn’t my stomach pains are back I feel like I am having some kind of breakdown I want to cry feel panicky feel like I can’t breathe
I have always worked so what’s wrong with me I need a job as we need the money and what kind of example am I setting my dc. I am so ashamed but I just couldn’t go in dh will probably be annoyed with me
How do I sort this out someone give me a slap and make me grow up and go to work

Sounds like anxiety. Why are you looking for a new job though? You say you like this job once you are there? Can you have a really good think and explore your feelings on this? Try and make a friend at work - that really helps you to feel part of the culture there and you will be more likely to look forward to work.

See your doctor about your stomach pains. If it turns out to be anxiety, you could try some hypnosis CDs, etc.

Hopefully your DH will be understanding. It sounds like you really want to work, but anxiety is holding you back for some reason. Are you afraid you will lose the job somehow and you are trying to "jump before you are pushed" iyswim?

I am looking for a new job as i don’t like it but was trying to stay until I found something else. I have made friends I get on well with everyone its a joke of a company nobody likes it there and over half of the people I trained with have left already. I just need to find something else had an interview yesterday but think I messed it up think half the people I work with have also been for an interview as well lol
