Hello everyone I'm looking for some advice and have no one in rl to turn to for advice. I apologise if this is long.
My husband is severely stressed and depressed due to his job and it's effecting his mental health and his health in general. He is on anti depressants and has had them increased in dosage but they are still not helping due to his place of work.
The past few weeks have been the worse and I'm feeling he will have some sort of breakdown and I don't know what to do.
He doesn't want to work in the job he's in at the moment. His employers know about his situation but don't help and are increasing the problem.
My husband is on a good wage, I don't work due to having an illness and I have been a stay at home mum since my first child was born 11 years ago. I don't claim any benefits and get child tax credits for my 2 children.
My husband has been in the same job since he was 16 he is now 32 and says he can't take it no more and doesn't even want to wake up of a morning says he'd rather not wake up at all.
He said he is willing to do any other job as long as it isn't in the type of work he is doing now. So is looking for work but in the mean time he isn't coping with work at all. He works everyday full time it's hard for him to get to interviews etc which stresses him out too.
He could go on the sick till he gets better but sick pay won't cover the bills etc.
I'm at a loss what to do we have no savings and have recently moved home to another rented house so all what we had has gone into this house.
