Hey all!
I was honestly unsure where to put this, but this seemed like the most logical place so here we go. I was hoping to get some advice from the great people here
Basically, the root cause of my anxiety problems is, I'm sure, my really early mornings (wake at 6am) and very long commute to work. The one in the morning takes 2 hours, the evening commute a slightly more modest 1 hr 50mins. But I have to take 2 trains and a bus each way (and walk!) and this is really wearing me out. I'm on Fluoxetine which I *think* is helping, however things are still far from perfect with me sometimes having anxiety attacks before and when travelling.
I also want to have more of a real life- and not spend it all travelling, and I'm concerned that if I get really bad anxiety later I won't be able to do the commute. This has already happened on a few occasions and I was nearly stuck at work once. I also hate being so far from home. I don't drive as I find driving extremely nerve-wracking hence why my journey is so long!
I've been trying to get a local job related to the one I do for a while, but sadly without too much success as what I do is a bit specialised. I always seem to be pipped at the post in interviews (down to the last 2 normally). So should I throw in the towel with my current job and spend more time looking for others locally, or start a general position (eg librarian or something similar), or stick with this one?
