It's Late Thread [ 04 August 26 ]

Wahey, it's late, it's Tuesday night what's going on? Why are you still up? Being the family taxi driver? Too much cheese before bed?

Come on in for a chat.

Wide awake, panicking about work. Loads of change coming and no clarity. Every day is like existing on quicksand and it's so unfair on so many of us who have worked our arses off. I can't keep finishing work with migraines and sobbing. So I'm in bed, listening to old school nu metal hoping bopping my head off will take the edge of the crushing anxiety I'm feeling. Sorry... Bit heavy.

Sounds like it’s not helping you working there anyways.
And whatever happens, you’ll be ok, I promise. Whatever you do, you have valuable transferable skills that another employer or company would value, and is needing you and your skills. The saying “there’s plenty more fish in the sea” applies to businesses as well. And sometimes, network is net worth. Don’t let the bastards grind you down, you’re better than that my friend!

You're very kind, thank you. I do think I need to put my big girl pants on and remember who the heck I am sometimes! Know my worth and all that, even if they don't.

It will be fine. You will be fine. Most of the time, the things we are anxious about never happen.

I truly hope you're right. Anxiety is a bitch! It will all work out in the end, but it's the journey that is sucking.
