Hi @L-B
Glad to hear that your employer was amenable to you changing your working hours. Hopefully this helps you to manage the stress and anxiety. Good luck for Thursday.
@Asgard
Have you done your job interview yet? How did that go?

Hi @tyme , it was in April you suggested I ask my employer to reduce my hours. Thanks for your suggestion. Am hoping it does the trick. I think it should make a big difference to my stress levels.

So glad @L-B to hear.
As much as I can suggest things, remember to give yourself the credit that you are actioning things with the aim to help yourself.
Well done to you 🙂

Thanks, I am formulating a Plan B @ @tyme if things still don't work out. Though feeling defective about myself. Really need to give myself a break about things.
