Hi,
In recent years I've been struggling with work. I work shifts for a transport company and since 2023 to say its been getting me down would be an understatement. I'm 55 and by rights, don't have long to go but still, the shiftwork seems an absolute mountain to climb. I'm tired, lonely, depressed and full of anxiety about the the following day. Work is a long commute away which adds to the isolation of it all.
I've been doing my job for near on 20 years, you'd think I'd know better but its all just getting to me now. I did have some time off in 2023 but returned and went straight back into it. I just want out now but at my age, I'm not sure what alternatives there are.
