so sorry that you quit your job. i quit my job too because of my thyroid illness and i bumped into my old manager some time later. i told her i have a thyroid illness and she said that she thought that i thought that was what i had. i said that i take medication for it and she asked me how i felt in myself. that made me look like a crazy woman. i have anxiety which i presume is from my thyroid illness and i have just come from an appointment today with the doctor thinking i am now mentally unstable. she suggested i see another doctor about my symptoms. i don't think i could go back to that practice ever again.

I lost a job before because of my anxiety, I quit going to work on and off and then got fired I had a hard time being there. But i am here to tell you work will come along and just worry about getting yourself healthy mentally and physically first. You are important. =)

Can I ask why your anxiety caused you to quit? Were you in a position that wouldn't allow you to take a personal moment from time to time or is your anxiety related to being in public or something along those lines?

hi. I did it too, a few times. I had panick attacks at work and couldnt function normally. I have a thyroid problem too. Im out of work many months now.

maybe you should force yourself and go to the doctors? im waiting for an intensive therapy in my country. if it doesnt help than I give up my life.

remember you are not alone and not on yr own. are you sure the work was good? too much stress? hours too long? take care
