To just want to quit my job, move back in with my parents and hibernate

Hi

So I’m really struggling with stress / anxiety / ? Depression.

I moved to a new city to escape a horrible horrible job, and my new job is better but I think I have some lingering mental health damage from the last place.

I’ve been trying and trying to register with a GP, and even when I hand all the forms in it will be a two week wait to be registered.

Because I moved UK nations I have no options but to wait , I had to ring 111 for a prescription for my chronic condition. Due to how delayed the GP is I may have to do this again and it makes me very anxious.

I work long shifts and when I’m not at work I usually just sleep on and off all day as I’m exhausted. Painfully exhausted.

I’ve made a few changes and now force myself to shower daily which makes me feel slightly better.

I also drag myself to work and speak to my best friend daily.

This is about all I am managing. The intense social interaction and being in a role that isn’t autonomous (although likes to claim it is) drains me, even though I do love elements of the role.

I just want to lie in my bed at home with my cat and do nothing for a while

I think this would be far worse for your mental health.

Your probably right

Actually you sound pretty self aware and like you need a holiday and a rest. Can you take some proper time off just to go home for a week or two to rest and reframe? You know your limits so listen to them.

I have annual leave booked for august and 6 days off at the beginning of July, so I’m planning to do just that
