Feeling down and needing some advise

hello, I’m looking for some advise/direction/inspiration. I currently work remotely for a company and have done the last 2.5 years prior to that I was a private housekeeper so the role I do now is completely different. I’ve always sort of struggled with this role as a result of lockdown and remote working I got really bad anxiety and having to present presentations at work was crippling sometimes I would have to tell work as it would effect me. Obviously they put me through some more training for this and I had to really push myself to get put my comfort zone, which I did get to a much better place and did get promoted. It’s been 6 months in my new position and my job hasn’t changed really, I pretty much do everything I was before and there has been no feedback as to how I’m preforming but equally I haven’t reached out more because I feel a pest, I’ve reached out before in the past and had reviews and then not much has changed. I also sometimes feel left out and lonely, like I’m not contributing enough. I’ve been seriously ill over the last couple of years with mumps, chronic condition etc. I guess you’re wondering why not look else where? I’ve tried, I want to stick to home base working because we’ve recently got a kitten and don’t want to be leaving him at home all day and I actually love the work life from home. But there is nothing, no one is interested and on top of that I am also trying to convince and have been trying for almost a year, I’ve just recently been told I have low egg reverse and not to wait around so it’s also a big leap to go else where. I just feel stuck and maybe someone else looking at this might be able to give a better view. I just want to be happy again and have a healthy working job where I feel seen.

Hmmm. I've read your post a couple of times to try and understand it. If I've got this right, you're doing a job and you've received no negative feedback, you've had training, got promoted and when you do ask for reviews you've got them. What type of role is it? There are millions of people who go to work every day and do what's required of them without expecting to be 'seen'.

I'm guessing the illnesses have hit you hard as has the TTC issues but it would be good to be realistic about what you want from your professional life (more pressure to earn more recognition vs a work/life balance but less fulfilment?) and your personal life.
