So I'm close to the end of working my notice. I m leaving work as it led, in part, to a breakdown I had in Autumn last year. I still can't remember that time clearly but I know I'd sit blankly at times, do bizarre things at others, sleep really badly and wake with panic attacks when I did, had paranoid thoughts that seemed real and was generally really a mess.

So here I am, having taken one day at a time. Huge gaping hole in front of me. And I've about two weeks left. How do I manage the transition.

Try not to worry my lovely, you've made a big step forward and it's great you've recognised the job as being toxic to you. Best of luck moving on, things will get better x

Do you absolutely have to work the final 2 weeks? I'd be walking.

Yes, I've finished projects so to speak but I've notes to write for those who pick up files. Enough to fill remaining working days but I guess what I'm saying is I can see the endpoint. I vary in mood, not so much the leaving work as that's essential, but I'm still not well just coping and so I've got a huge transition with a lot of unknowns. Tonight I'm feeling jittery about what's coming
