Hi there - new to the forum

[Mase]

Hi there,
I'm new to this site. I'm having problems with anxiety and stress and currently thinking about quitting my job to try and restore some balance. At the moment I can't concentrate or think straight and am struggling with sleeping, reflux and stress headaches, which I guess may be causing it.
Wanting to chat to others to see what possible solutions/outcomes may be. If I quit my job, I'm going to need to move, so don't want to rush into it and make the wrong decision.

Hi Mase.. welcome

I don't suppose there would be any way of you being able to cut down your hours in your current job to enable you time and space for yourself during this difficult period?

My theory is that health comes first and if the above isn't a possibility and you can manage without your job maybe it would be good for you. Saying that bear in mind the stress of the move and make sure you have prepared yourself mentally and emotionally for the change.

Hope things pick up or you.

All the best.. Mand
