Hi @tyme, thanks for being on this journey. I'm thinking of resigning again. Can't take much more of this. Or may try for reduced hours but my employer was against this. I suppose it can't hurt to ask but I am dreading the conversation as I may need to opt for resignation if it's denied.

I'm sorry to hear it is so hard today. Remember you've had better days @L-B
Remember you have asked for adjustments to be made. It sounds like they value your work in that they want to keep you.

What do you think is the hardest part of the work? @L-B Is it anxiety?

The schedule is gruelling. The demands and expectations to fill every moment are high, @tyme . My anxiety doesn't help.

Thanks @L-B
The funny thing is that I know that I know the answers, being able to articulate my answers is another thing. My written English is pretty good if I do say so myself, my verbal English not so great. Used to have a bad stammer when I was young and managed to get over it, but when I get nervous it pops its head up.......Asgard

Thanks @tyme . My employer said yes to a reduction in hours in a week's time. Things will be very tight but it's for the best I hope.
