Change

As you know I have had problems at work for ages.  So much so that I ended up going off sick on the 4th March.  I haven't been back since.  I did warn them time and time again.

I have been put on anti-depressants and originally I was put on Valium and for two weeks I was a bit of a zombie some days.

I am no longer on valium but I am still up one day and down the next and until this matter is resolved fully am likely to be the same.  It is hard to believe that an employer can make you feel so bad.  I feel even worse than when I was a pennyless single mum - which I may blog about one day.

I am now being paid SSP, under my contract my employers had to pay me for so many weeks and I was paid up until 30th April.  So now the belt tightens.  I cannot go into any more details about work but I will update you when I can.

I do have some savings and hubby has a full-time job well paid but he does have massive debt.  I am going to have to deal with this month by month.  I have stocked up on food, I need not buy any toiletries for months nor clothes.  Bills are up to date no arrears a little in the joint account.  I should feel blessed.

I have at least had three no spend days in May already and its only the 4th.

  3. Hi Justine
    Sorry to hear that your job has made you feel like that. I am glad you are taking time out as it does not sound like a good place to be. I take an anti depressant & once they kick in I think it was a little over a fortnight to a month for me as my anxiety was terrible. I cannot deny that they have helped because they have.
    You take sometime & have lots of relaxation. I do a little cleaning job & ironing from home for people aswell as ebay. There are always home options to. But for now you take it easy & look after yourself x x
