I've been posting for a while but my anxiety has reached record levels, I can't think, relax, sleep, eat, sit still and am wracked with guilt and anxiety which is pushing me over the edge! I'm thinking at last that I may need to ask to leave my contract at Christmas as work is my anxiety source but the thought of asking and my boss saying no and the turmoil which may hit once I have left is, understandably, making my anxiety worse still and I need some advice for coping before I drive off in my car and refuse to come back to face my problems!
You talk about guilt ?, also not wishing to work over the Christmas beause your job is Causing the Anxiety, I also gather you would return to your job after the Christmas period?
Like you I am not really keen being in company over the Christmas period as I find it so hollow and grabbing. Here brother well met comes to my mind when I look at the festive season. I really have problems when people throughout the year would stab me in the back any other time of the year, so I am not that fond of this time of the year and prefer my Wife and dog as Christmas celebrants.
Remember you need to be omfortable in your own skin and you are adult and able to make your life choices, although I would think the money would be helpful over the festive season
Thank you, I think I will ask for the contract to end at Christmas and then not go back in January, as O should, to end at Easter (in a school). I need some time to get my self together again, I was relatively happy and content until recently and I'm hoping that once I leave, & can recover, this will be the case again. Who knows though, I may be back again!
Hi rachel93450. First off i want to say i can relate to your anxiety about work.I had to come out of work once for this and almost couldnt tell my boss. There are soultions and help out there if you need it. Forget about work for a moment and maybe concentrate on feeling better i once could nor eat drink relax. I could no longer establish how to deal with how i was feeling and couldnt see a way out. There is CBT which some people swear by. There is medication which can definitely help how your feeling. However you may need to see a Gp for some help.
