Hey there,

I had a job we’re i would have to be there by 7am and after a while I was so drained and getting tired. I’m an insomniac which meant that I wouldn’t sleep days on end.

My point being the job was more hurt than help. That job hurt me more than helped me before I quit that job I found one that suited my needs better and now I work mid after noon having enough time to accomplish things.

You mental and physical health is more important than any job. Be happy and find something that suits you.

You said you need job? What's your plan if you quit, can you still pay your bills?

Hi BetterDays14, I think I know how u feel! I just posted a similar scenario with my work situation and have asked for others advice. I suffered horrible anxiety since last yr but started meds Dec 2018 a week b4 I started this new job in Jan which my anxiety has been tamed- until today.. i work in health snd had a situation which has triggered an attack/ Im also wondering if i have pushed my boundary with facing fears. I do enjoy my job but feeling like i maybe should think twice about this role. I cant have anxiety flaring up everytime something happens at work- especially as i had health anxiety issues... wish i didnt have to work and wouldnt have these dilemas but thats not an option??? 😩😬

Hello @BetterDays14,

Thank you for posting and sharing your current situation with us. I know that it may be difficult to do this and please know that you are appreciated. Next, when I was a new nurse several years ago, the night shift is where they stuck me. I completely understand how frustrating it can be to have to work nights, especially when you have other responsibilities during the day. For the first month or so things seem fine, but after that, you body starts to wear down. Emotional pain comes first followed by very real physical pain. I am so sorry that you are going through this and please know that I will be praying for you to find a solution.

May God Bless You,

Kevin (Col. 1:10-12)
