unexpectedly I’ve started a remote job, I didn’t particularly feel ready to go back I already feel crap and just started to focus on getting me better, how do I do this now I’m working 7 hours in the day. I always get really stressed when I work as I get thoughts whether I’m working hard enough and if I don’t then I’ll get karma, how do I keep up with self care whilst working, I already feel super depressed and bored of everything and this is super boring, but I really really need the money It’s either choose to try fully focus on healing myself with no money or work that takes up most of my time to be able to afford food :(

Thank you I definitely am not at that point either but I don’t have much choice the government pay very little and I don’t have any dependents it’s my mum that’s been buying me food and I feel bad about it, yeh I will try I just wish I worked like 20 hours or something so that i didn’t feel like it was taking up most of my time! Thank you I’ll try going till it’s good to get the frustration out of my head! :)

Keep going, you got this, wish I didn't have all these quirks about going back to work, it's essential, everybody, if you can should work, it's what makes us whole. 🤞Your gonna be fine, you've already made the big leap, the rest with time, will be easy peasy....

It’s been up and down, it’s not as intense and painful as it was Al thought it’s still there it’s like the anxiety disappears and the dp/dr sticks and life just feels strange like I’m in a prison hope you are doing well

Do you have to work 7 hours straight or can you break it up in to different sections....if you can break it up try that....don't know what kind of work it is....just take it one hour at a time....you did say you were working remotely right??(from home??

Got to work 7 hours straight so annoying it’s just makes you feel too tired to do anything after work, yes I do work from home but got to hit targets and the targets are high we get pulled up if we don’t reach them :)

I would give anything to find a remote job!! I have been looking for almost a year as I am trying VERY hard to find something and get out of my current job in education. If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of work do you do?

I am proud of you for getting out there and getting back to work so you can provide for yourself. I know how hard that is, truly, I experience it daily being in a job where I’m constantly having to interact and ‘perform’ in front of people. I know how exhausting it can be when it’s literally depleting you. Maybe you can take breaths throughout your day? Get fresh air, maybe a walk at lunch, some healthy snacks? Calming music? Just trying to think of some things that may help :)

I hope things get better for you!

Hey sorry for the late reply I am doing recruitment it’s only temporary! I’m not sure which part of the world you are but I find my jobs through agencies and the admin jobs seem to be mostly remote! The anxiety and ocd love that I’m working remotely but in the long run it just makes me feel quite isolated. Hope you find a remote one what is it that you do for work? Thank you for your kind suggestions taking some me time to breath and do little household tasks helps me even though I hate cleaning lol :)
