My last day with my most previous role was on the 16th October. Noticed handed in 16th September, however I had been off sick since June following really traumatic miscarriage. I had been suffering from a lot of work related anxiety prior to this (due to a very toxic environment, a lot of issues, investigations, bullying etc.), but I realised while off sick how unhappy I was in my job and I needed an out and to get back into the area of my degree and happiness I suppose. So I'm currently applying for a new job.
I need to word the 'reason for leaving' section on application forms better as I'm aware it looks bad saying 'mental health reasons' or 'to pursue a new challenge' and applications where I have been fully open I've not made it past the application stage (could all be coincidence and my anxiety is making it out to be more but I ticked all the boxes etc.).
Can anyone help me? I'm really struggling and I'm super keen to get past the 'she looks unreliable' stage.
