I've been struggling for a couple of years now following a significant bereavement and subsequent caring responsibilities. My family situation is really difficult too so that has been stressful. Now I have been made redundant from a senior role which I see as a great opportunity but Fred in my head is constantly trying to tell me I'm a failure!
Last week, I had an interview for a job in the same salary which I really think I could have secured. I was appointable but still not successful!
I'm lucky that I can afford to be off work for a while although our mortgage needs to be renewed in May. I think my husband's salary is enough to secure our home if needed.
I'm torn between wanting to work for myself and wanting a salary and pension! I've been thinking about my purpose and think it has actually shifted from career to care (whether I want that or not!).
I would be glad of some reassurance and encouragement please!! ❤️
