Sorry about typing at end. Dunno what happened there.
But I really don't think anyone gets in I'm in such a bad place I hate mornings they seem to be the worse I just want to get in my car and drive and drive and not stop that sooths me for some reason. I just can't function anymore. I've lost nearly 2 stone in two months. Anyone else feel like this

That's me too Ted you are not alone. I've had the same job for the past 7yrs. Just recently last week we merged w a huge corporation. I now have no clue how to do my job and the responsibility, and expectation on me is emense. Just when I think I got something down my new boss comes at me w something else. I have never been this stressed in my entire life.

You know how u were saying u dread mornings, and u often think about just driving. Well I did that the other day I wasn't even thinking about it but I drove right past work and kept going. I must have been a few miles down the road before I realized what I had done.

I want a new job too but then I think about everything I just went thru w this one and it just fills me w more anxiety. I take xanax twice a day as well but it doesn't seem to really help. The time I'm at my worst is at home, all I do is worry about Wk. I can't sleep and I have break downs all the time. In time things will get better for the both of us.

Hey guys, I had the same problem, if you read some of my older posts you'll see that I had horrible work stress related anxiety that drove me to my breaking point and beyond!

My doc put me on pristiq for a few months and it really helped, I felt much better and really turned a corner, it allowed me to cope for those months. I have since quit that job and now am on my second one since I left, I have no regrets about leaving the job, it was killing me but at the same time now I don't make enough money to really survive and I no longer have health insurance.

So, as you can see there were goods and bads from me leaving the job. I think if I could go back, I wouldn't I am much happier now than I was and im not on an ad anymore, so that's nice. I miss the money, it wasn't a lot but we weren't struggling like we are now, the biggest thing is the insurance, I've still got some anxiety issues and im on a beta blocker but now I can't go to a doctor.. Not really sure what I'm gonna do there. Anyway. You need to make the decision that it going to be best for you, you cannot allow your life to be ruined because of a job, I did it for a couple years and it put me in the worst place of my life. I am not as comfortable now, but I'm happy now I welcome the morning instead of dreading it.. Good luck with whichever path you choose.
