Hi annymonous,

I'm sorry you've experienced a miserable job that has clearly made you unhappy and unwell. As your doctor has signed you off, you have the time to look around for something more suitable for your condition. You may find it easier to check online and by phone. You could always leave your details with a company that you are interested in, just in case something comes up in the future.

Best of luck

Chloe

Hi annymonous

There's nothing worse than being in a job when you're suffering. The stigma that used to surround mental health issues are fortunately, slowly eroding but that's going to take some time.

In an ideal world, yes, we'd all like to have a job to go to before we give notice but when it's making you ill, you have no choice. You can though, make the most of your time to find the right employer who will understand your problems, so take heart, we've had a couple of similar posts this week with great outcomes.

Good luck and do let us know.

Hey annymonous

Please please go, you have nothing to lose but can only gain. You don't always need experience, many employers are willing to give on the job training. So if you feel this is something you might like to do, then go for it! I'm with you all the way.

Good Luck Annymonous! I too lost my job with a hater who just made me miserable everyday, I felt I did not have a choice to find another job due to my disabilities. But I have to say although I am in the deepest depression ever, I am so much better than working for a hater. Hope you have a wonderful interview!
