Stopped working because of Menopause

hello maria

i know exactly how you feel and about work and NO your not miserable at all.

Over the last eight years of feeling so ill through perimenopause and menopause i have thought about leaving my job almost daily, yet im still struggling on.

Every morning i struggle to get there and my body tremors can last all day.

i have a very responsible job were i could multitask and remember everything but since peri i forget something from a couple of minutes ago and multi tasking im just useless at.

im lucky to be in an office on my own so no one can see the traumas i go through. Each day i think how long can i be here in work and carry on. i watch the clock and cant wait to get home.

For the last eight years i have used my holiday leave allowance days to be off because i felt so ill. i look back and feel so sad iv lost so much time feeling dreadful but no doctor understood so iv had to battle on alone.

i feel if i give up my job ill be at home just thinking about how i feel and having no life although you couldn't call it normal life what we're going through.

there's only you can decide about your job.

keep in touch and let us ladies know as we'll all support you.

sending you a comforting virtual hug

I quit my job 2 years ago as I just couldnt handle stress anymore (sends my anxiety into overdrive) and the boss and his son were not understanding to womens problems at all (or anyones problems really) so I had no choice but to leave. I am looking still but the longer your away the harder it is to get back into it again and I cant do anything physical anymore and if I do get an interview and they ask why I left my last job and why ive been jobless for 2 years what would I sat 😮 tbh im enjoying my freedom and no stress to much to go back at the moment and lifes way to short to be miserable in your job on top of this peri hell.
