Hi everyone, hoping for some advice about my current job situation.
I started a new secretary role in the NHS in September. It was a change in career for me and I new the first few months would be tough. I am nearing the 4 month mark of being there and I really don't like itðŸ˜!!
I left my previous job where I had been for 7 years as the money/pension/holidays weren't great. I knew it would take a while to get used to the new job and I like parts of it but there are other parts I absolutely hate. There is no way I can change these parts as it is fundamental to the job role - something I was not fully aware of when I took the role.
I suffer from depression and anxiety generally but mostly can control it pretty well but the last month or so have been really struggling. I end up crying most nights and feel anxious every night. I have spoken to my manager to see if I can change role and I am willing to take a pay cut but she has said that she does not know if there is anything available.
I have applied for other roles but haven't heard anything back yet. I live alone and have savings but obviously would be relying on myself for income.
The question I have is - should I stick it out or should I leave?
I don't have anyone to speak to and would be very grateful for opinions and/or advice.
Sorry for the long winded rant!
