Should I quit my new job?

[luu82]

I got a new job and should start in one week. I need to move to the UK for that position at a prestigious university. I thought it was the job of my dreams. I accepted the offer last December. In January my mood started to change and I started to feel unable to travel. I think I have a serious depression and I don't feel strong enough to be alone in other country. I wasted my whole time reading about depression and anxiety and not preparing for the job. The University is waiting for me and I need the money. It is a good opportunity and if I stay in my country I am not sure when I will be able to find a new, but I am having a very hard time coping with everything. I am not sleeping well, I just stayed at home waiting that my mind is calm and clear. But that is not happening. I know I need help but mental services in my country are very bad.

luu82 -- You seem to see your situation clearly. Perhaps you can start by talking to your doctor. I know doctors don't give much time these days, but it might be a start.

Hi luu82

Welcome to our Community.

This sounds like a golden opportunity for you and you may have naturally become worried as the time has drawn closer to move. This could have escalated and the more you read, well......

Here in the UK we have every medical facility available so you would have no need to worry about that. What you do need is to have a chat with your doctor or therapist where you are if that is possible, if only to allay your fears and increase your confidence.

Please keep in touch and let us know what you decide and if your discussions helped.

Take care
