Constant work anxiety and motherhood
Anxiety Support / by JenMicca

...See more Hi all, I'm hoping by writing this I will start to calm down. I am.a single mum who works full time. The stress at my work has been chronic lately. My boss has been away for a planned surgery. She has only supported one person during this 6 week period and left almost all of her reporting work to me without any reasonable handover. I am asked for information almost all day that is part of her job. She does not return phone calls or emails. She only occasionally emails me to request complex information in unreasonable time frames. I have crossed a line where I'm feeling anxious almost all day. I'm shaking a lot, but managing to just keep it together. I've had to pull over while driving because of the rising panic. Im practising CBT, and my doctor has said I should take the week off, but I don't want to let the team down. I feel.stuck and scared and I desperately want to.quit and find something else, but I need to pay the rent and support my daughter. Sometimes, I think she knows that. Any suggestions about small steps I could take to balance things even a little would be greatly appreciated. ♡

...See more Hi, I'm a single mum who works full-time (I have to) and after an intense week at work last week, my back has totally gone. I have to march on and look after my daughter this weekend, do the housework, cook, do the laundry. Just in pain all the time. I'll try to slow it down, but not much choice. Just wanted to share so I might start feeling a little less overwhemlmed. Big love to everyone.
