Hello everyone. Thank you for asking. I've actually resigned from my job. I just can't do it anymore. I'm now scared because financially I'm not sure how we are going to manage. The environment I worked in was extremely stressful, so it was definitely the right decision. I just feel quite lost but know I need time to process and heal. If that makes sense :(

Great decision. I went part time in August and it’s the best thing I could have done. You can’t help others if you don’t put your own oxygen mask on first.

Be kind to yourself.

I thought I'd give an update. I'm having some better days but the last few days my anxiety has been through the roof :(

Awful ain't it!  Is the anxiety cyclical even though U have had surgery?  Is it the time of year?  How is your diet?

Hiya, no it's not cyclical as I had my ovaries removed.
It's hard to explain but sometimes the anxiety makes me feel like I'm crawling out of my own skin. It is hideous.
My diet isn't the best. I do comfort eat x

Don't beat yourself up about comfort eating, it depends on what you decide to grab.
