Thinking about quitting my job

[Snowflakes]

@Zoogal I don’t know if you’re in the U.S. or not, but if you are, talk to your therapist about FMLA from work. If your workplace is as such that you are eligible, then taking time off under FMLA will protect your job status and health benefits.

I did the FMLA thing for several years and it helped with getting the time away that I needed. Then I went out on long term disability. Do you know if your employer offers that??

I recently quit my job. Id been having a really hard time and trying to get my meds and everything adjusted. I think i definitely need the time ..but i did put myself in a bind financially. I would suggest taking some time off first if that's possible.

@Zoogal - you are having a really hard time right now.

Please speak to your T and your hubby. Please don't walk away without asking your employer about every single possibility to keep your job. Working part-time. Reduced days. Even leave without pay is worth it.

Knowing you have work and can go back is so important. I know it doesn't feel like it now bc you are experiencing deep exhaustion.

I found being cut loose from my work was very destabilising emotionally and financially.

I hope you can find a suitable alternative to resigning. :hug:

I wonder if you can re-arrange you work hours? Work longer hours when you are up to it and less other days? Or maybe work from home?

Yeah, this happened to me twice and it was immensely stressful. But for me, I don't have anything to fall back on. If I could swing it financially, I'd quit tomorrow.
