I’m so unhappy in my job

Ed.Ward
12 days ago

I’m autistic and 43 YOand after a burnout 6 months ago, I’m back in the role that I have been in for 18 years. Since the burnout I have been unable to mask, but I’m also finding that I am struggling to do the actual job which is working with data at a senior level. Everything that made sense before doesn’t make sense. Numbers are jumbled, words are hard to comprehend. It feels like I can no longer do the job or even want to. All adaptions are in place, I’m just not happy there anymore. I have no idea where to even start looking for another job. Who’s going to want me now. Sorry my words aren’t very articulate tonight.

    Hi Ed.Ward

    I know that it took me at least a year to recover after being burned out, so I would say to give yourself more time.

    It is difficult deciding what to do about work when feeling unhappy and unworthy in the job. What I would say is to not walk away. I resigned from a job and though it seemed the best choice at the time, looking back, I just should have taken some sick leave.

    You might have seen on my other comments to other threads that I have used the Access to Work Scheme via the DWP. This has really helped me. Here is a link about it.

    All the best.
