Since I started going through peri just over two years ago, my worklife has become increasingly stressful due to things that are beyond my control. I work in a high pressure, low control IT environment and due to increased anxiety levels, I am finding it hard to cope.
Has anyone else experienced an inability to cope with work place pressures since going through perimenopause?
How did you handle it? Change jobs or reduce your hours?
At this point in my life, I really don't want a high pressure job and I am considering alternatives.
Workplace pressure can be hard to deal with at the best of times but I am finding it hard with increased anxiety levels. Some days I just want to cry but wait till I get home and then let it all out.
I have been to the doctor who has given me (surprise, surprise) antidepressants which I am taking to try and tame the anxiety but I don't think they are doing much to help me (although I suppose I need to give them some extra time).
Anyone else experienced this problem?
