Job, finance & future?

Good morning, this is my first Fibro post seeking advice or experience. My husband of 32yrs left me 3 years ago, no reason, just wanted to live his own life. W****r! edited by admin Anyway, I remortgaged and brought him out, at the time I was reasonably healthy.

I’ve now got fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression and lots of other stuff associated with Fibro. I have a stressful job, it’s good money, but the fibrofog and pain are placing huge stress on me. I can’t think, function, get out of bed or do my job properly, I’m exhausted. How can I carry on? I’m worried I’m gonna lose my job, home, financial security and all I’ve worked for. It’s stressing me out even more?? Can anyone offer any advice?? Desperate. Sick day AGAIN today, just in too much pain. ❤️

Morning your husband was a w****r. edited by admin It is possible to budget more and get a different job? With less stress but maybe have to take a pay cut. I don't work so I don't know if maybe HR is a route too. I am on benefits. Things are REALLY tight but it's only way I'm fit enough to look after my autistic teenager and my bonny dog. The other really horrible suggestion is would you be better off getting a smaller place so you have less mortgage to pay? Xx

Thank you for your reply 😊. I only have a small 2 bed house, me, my son, dog, cat and parrot lol. I couldn’t do anything smaller. I’ve been thinking about cutting my hours, living on the breadline, no holiday or meals out, working to exist. It just makes me feel so low, to know I have to live to work and not work to live 🤬 I see my X in his sports car, designer clothes, going to his caravan in the country every weekend, living the life and wondering WHY?? How can things be so good for a person who left his family and so sh**e edited by admin for me who kept the family home and continues to support my sons?? Rant over 🙄🤷‍♂️😊

Good evening Shazo29 welcome to our group. If you have not had the chance to read our guidelines on swearing yet we do have a rule about using inappropriate language which reads,

However, we understand that sometimes members may need to express their frustrations so any swear words that have been disguised by the use of ‘Asterisks( * )' will not be edited by Admin.

I see you have left your post unlocked this is fine if you don't mind everything you post read by others on the net. If you prefer to keep what you post private to this community only this link will show you how to lock this and future posts.
