Anxious about the future

pinkchocoholic

Long story cut short I'm probably handing by notice in at work tomorrow due to mental health issues declining a lot (got told today I was getting stage three disclinary which probably means dismissal so I thought best to hand notice in, at I can't face another dismissal meeting).

I'm anxious about the future,

what if I can't get another job 

what will happen when my parents die will I be able to afford somewhere to live and be okay

what if I find a job but then have to leave due to the and reasons then it happens multiple times so I can never hold a job down

My family are supportive saying they are there for me no matter what and will help me now and in the future, but I still worry about it 

Any advice etc will be appreciated, plus any thing I could do to help me now and in the future

  • I can really relate to this because I went through it myself in 2019. After 11 years in the same job (2007-2019), I chose to hand in my notice. I was becoming ill and my colleagues weren’t very kind. Strangely, even though they hadn’t been nice, they rallied around me when I got upset about leaving.  

    I cried day and night because I knew I’d face bullying if I stayed, and my diagnosis was completely ignored. It was all handled badly, and they kept trying to change my mind. Only one person truly understood why I had to go. I felt so low afterwards, just trying to process everything.  

    I still have good days and bad days. It’s easy to slip into a slump and feel isolated. What’s helped me is a local ladies’ social group I found — really friendly and open to women of all ages. It’s run through a community charity and they do afternoon and evening gatherings, talks, social events, and optional cream teas for a small fee.  

    I also pop along to Songs of Praise at my local church sometimes. Tea and cake always help. I did try something new recently and had a massive anxiety attack, so that didn’t go to plan.  

    If you take anything from this: do what feels comfortable for you. 

    Hope this helps
