TomParticipantHi Anita,
I really appreciate you staying in touch on this and appreciate any help/support on the next move. I will be in touch on this once I have locked a time in with the company.
Thanks
TomParticipantHello Anita,
Thanks for checking in.
I am doing my best. Outside of work, things are good but inside of work it is still a battle. Ultimately I want to try and move on/pivot into something else but struggling to put a solid plan in place here. I have found a ‘career shifter’ type company that I am considering trying. Thanks for checking in.
TomParticipantThanks Anita,
I just feel lost with it all at the moment tbh.
I want to try form an exit but not too sure where to begin without taking a financial hit which will lead to issues elsewhere.
TomParticipantThanks Anita,
I do like to keep you updated and write things down here from time to time.
Yesterday was a tough day where I felt overwhelmed for large points in the office but today is a new day and I’m ready to go again and do my best.
TomParticipantHi Anita,
Hope all is well.
I have begun to make enquiries about a life/career coach and will consider my options there once I have spoken with someone.
I continue to do my best in the role and look after myself out side of work with fresh air, exercise and reading. I have started to reach out to a couple of recruitors to see what options are out there and will also continue to look myself for any openings.
Working for myself is something I also want to explore.
TomParticipantHi Anita,
The presentation was yesterday and went ok I think. I did my best and that is the main thing.
Still want to try and find something i enjoy more but the 6 month notice period does concern me. I am hoping to have a relaxing weekend where I can think.
Thanks
TomParticipantHi Anita,
Appreciate the reply as always, I am ok with putting the presentation together. It’s more delivering it to a large group. I always get very nervous etc and worry about it until it’s done. Thanks
TomParticipantHi Anita,
Hope you have a good weekend!
I have a bit of the Sunday blues today. I found out late last week i will needed to do a big presentation on Tuesday to 100+ people.
Public speaking to a crowd like that isn’t something I generally enjoy and I do feel a little anxious about it. I will try and prepare the best I can for it tomorrow and just do my best.
TomParticipantHi Anita,
I hope you had a good weekend.
I had a good weekend celebrating my partners birthday this weekend and have been back to work today.
I think I will consider a life/career coach of some sort as talking about this more freely will likely help me. I will continue with my gratitude, exercise and calm app to try and manage through this period the best I can while I figure things out longer term.
TomParticipantHi Anita,
Thanks for the reply and words, it’s much appreciated. It’s my partners bday this weekend so I will stay positive for that but once that is out the way I think I will try and sit down with her and tell her how I have really been feeling as I don’t want it to impact our relationship in anyway.
I think I will also consider a career coach of some description so will begin to look into this.
Thanks
TomParticipantHi Anita,
I am continuing with my gratitude morning and night and use of my calm app.
While all of this is helping, I am still getting feelings of anxiety and overwhelm regarding work, and it has impacted my sleep. I have a good job and good salary and that is hard to walk away from, I also feel a little lost in terms of I don’t know what to step into next.
We have some savings but don’t want to use those and I also don’t want to feel like a failure by walking away. I do try and talk to my partner and friends but deep down I know I don’t tell them the whole story and how I have been trying to battle and cope through this tough period.Thanks as always
TomParticipantHi Anita,
As always, thanks for the response.
Outside of what I am doing, how else would you recommend I express the feelings?
I have a couple of friends I exchange messages with and my partner knows to a point but probably not the full extent as I don’t want to be overly negative about things to her as she is also trying to practice gratitude and manifestation and being positive so conscious I shouldn’t lower her ‘vibe’. Thanks
TomParticipantHi Anita,
Hope all is well.
Settled back in at work now and while it’s going ok, deep down I do believe it may not be for me long term. It is well paid though so I guess the issue I have is walking away from that. The UK is very expensive currently and it’s not straight forward to find another job instantly.
I am doing my journaling and gratitude every day and using the calm app and all of this is helping keep a good perspective on things.
TomParticipantHappy New Year!
I have been battling a flu for a few weeks and back to work tomorrow. The flu meant I didn’t prepare as much for my return to work as I would have liked but I am resting today and will go back tomorrow with an open mind.
TomParticipantThank you Anita
Merry Christmas to you too.
I have a few days downtime before heading back to work.
