Re: not coping

i am having a meeting with my older boss today/tomorrow to discuss going casual. ill be working quite a few days a week plus stuff from home as well @Snowie so id like to focus on the newer company. theres new opportunities within the company as well next year and have been invited in to be a team leader and one of the main faces of the company alongside the bussiness manager so its a really good opportunity. hard work and it can be draining but i feel like when my home life settles down it wont be as draining. i wont have to organise family constantly, my days off can be days off

Re: not coping

Thats good if their are opportunities within the company @outlander Saves going somewhere else to look for them. It does make a difference with who we are working with too. They must be a good group.

Hopefully when your Pop goes in, you can have days off.

Re: not coping

Hey @outlander I don't visit here often but wanted to stop by especially to give you some support. I have seen (over months now) what has been happening, and how much effort you have put in to support that member elsewhere. You have done all you ccan do Hon - she is not in a place that she will see or accept help and that has to come from her. If you need to take a step back then that is what you need to do. Sometimes we need to make that decision for our own wellbeing. We can only do what we can do Outlander, and you have gone above and beyond. Time to look after you 💕

Re: not coping

@Snowie i think getting a job with this company has been a really good choice for my career and my mental health. it is challanging for sure but theres variety, and the boss is better to work for. i still keep in contact with 2 of the work colleagues from a group house but it was a good choice to take the job offer. i was terrified, still am some days but i feel ive taken a positive step forward.

Re: not coping

Thats really good to hear that you are enjoying it @outlander Our workplace/environment can have such a big affect on our mental health. Takes a lot of courage too to take that leap.

Re: not coping

Yes the right opportunities have to come up, but at the same time you have worked hard to get where you are @outlander They wouldn't have given you a job if they couldn't see the qualities they were looking for. Be proud of that hon.

Going to head to bed early. Not much sleep last night and have psych tomorrow morning.

Hope you get some sleep tonight and tomorrow goes well for you

Take care 💕💕
