Redundancy

[Bluejug]

After a horrible year with my mental health I finally started to feel better again. Happier,less anxious,hopeful. On mOnday i was offered voluntary redundancy. I have until tomo to make a decision. I am 46 years old and for the past 13 years this job has been my extended family. I feel that if I dont take the VR they will get rid of my anyway with a smaller payment. Today I am anxious,shaking,sweating,tearful and scared. Its not just about the money. Its about much more than that. Its about my mental health being at stake again. I just want this to be a bad dream. I don't know what to do. And what the future holds.

Occupation is good therapy for anyone experiencing anxiety. And you look upon your place of work as your extended family.

I understand what you say about a smaller payout if you don't accept voluntary redundancy.

Ask yourself what the chances are of getting another job reasonably quickly if you take redundancy. If the prospects don't seem high hold on to your present job, tell them you are much recovered and give the job 110%.

If you think there's a good chance of getting a new or even better job take the money.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Uncertainty is never comfortable. Try not to obsess or be overwhelmed. The future has no probability system, it just happens according to a million factors. Think about what is happening here and in this moment, the rest is unknowable. Try to stay calm and nurture good thoughts.
