@Lilly6 ...what are you giving up on? Your work? Or life?
Maybe you could get some respite by getting a sick certificate from your doctor...?

Thanks for replying, @Lilly6 ...
I'm wondering if it's better to maybe take a break from your work...a sick certificate...or even give up on your job...rather than potentially give up on your life because everything is just too much to cope with...what do you think?
You're really struggling and suffering at the moment, so you do deserve time off your job.
I'm also going to call a @Former-Member as I'm concerned about you... 💔

Hey @Lilly6
It sounds like today is a particularly tough one. I'm glad @NatureLover has been supporting you. It seems like a good idea to get some individual specialised support from professionals or helplines. I'll send you an email with that information.
Take care,
Sphinxly🐣

Oh @Lilly6 , you haven't distressed me, I'm OK...I was just concerned for you.
I hope you will feel able to share your feelings and get support (according to the guidelines)...we are here to listen and try to support you as best we can.
I hope you can take an extended break from your work, and get some relief from your stresses that way...your job does sound very stressful. I hope you can focus on getting better without having to worry about your work.
Sending you a big hug, @Lilly6 ...we care about you...

Hi @Lilly6
I'm only just finding your messages now.
I'm sad to see that you are still struging I was hoping that things had improved for you.
@NatureLover s advice re your job makes sense. No job is worth making you feel like this. Take some time out for you hun.
I've left a job in the past that made me both physically and mentally ill. Saved my life. Here if you need me, please tag me then I'll get an email hun x

@Anastasia @NatureLover @Eve7 thank you so much for putting up with my ups and extreme downs.
Today has been a good day, really good especially after the horrendous day I had yesterday. My manager and I had a talk about everything and she has generally been really great. The supervisor has stepped back a bit too. The phone hasn't rung constantly today either. I am starting to feel glad I am still here, go figure!
Have a great weekend!!
