Hi everyone, (sorry for my spelling)
I've been in this sales job for 3 years. Never really enjoyed it, infact it has caused me intense stress and anxiety which I beleive hasn't helped my drepession.
I'm newly diagnosed, my employers are patient and try being supportive. I have a fience who is in a stable job and pays most of the bills.
I want out of my current job. My diagnosis has validated/clarified a sizable amount of my negative experiences with the noise, changable rules, loose ethics and the relentless drive for better statistics. It's over stimulating and maddening. On bad days I cry in the office then have to go home because I feel safer there.
I've heard of PIP, although it sounds like an obtuse and intimidating process.
I beleive I'm eligable for Job Seekers Allowance, but a rule of their is that if you quit your job without good reason, you will have less financial support the first 3 months.
My partner can't support us both.
Is mental health a just reason to quit and would JS accept that?
Any financial/mental health advice for a next step?
