So overwhelmed

[Itsenoughnow]

Hi lovely mumsnetters I’m finding things so hard at the moment work particularly work I just feel anxious all the time
anyone got any tips to help me please ?

The overwhelm is a horrible feeling, my heart goes out to you.

is there anyone at work who is particularly supportive that you could talk to? Or any actions your manager could take to make things better, at least trmporarily?

what is your support structure at home or your life generally?

at some point it is usually worth speaking to your GP. Mine has a bit of a checklist and helps me think about where I can rebalance, ask for help, get support. It isn’t just pills and being signed off, though both of those have their place and might be a good start for you to get some headroom.

please do keep talking. Here if you like, or with a trusted friend, or consider counselling of some description.

Can you whittle down exactly what it is that's causing you to feel anxious? Is it the hours you work, the level of responsibility, the environment, your colleagues? The more you can pinpoint the cause the easier it will be to deal with.
