    Hi Anita,

    thanks for the detailed response. Therapy is something I have considered but I don’t truly know where to begin with that. I will do some research into any local to me and see if this is a feasable option. I will keep you posted as always and continue to do the best i can to navigate through this periord of time.

    I grew up in a good home with good parents but there was often lots of arguing which has always made me shy away from arguments and not like conflict.

    Perhaps that has impacted my confidence and led to overthinking / anxiety etc?

    Hey Anita,

    I had the meeting with the career coach and while helpful, I still feel a little lost and lacking purpose.

    I continue to read and exercise etc but the work aspect of my life still isn’t great.

    Hi Anita,

    Hope you’re well.
    I have another call with the career coach this Friday but in the meantime, I really continue to struggle at work. I just feel my confidence draining when I am in the building, and I don’t feel like myself. I don’t know if this is burnout or depression or what, but I know I don’t like it and really don’t know what to do. I’m putting on a brave face at work so no one would really know but I am overthinking everything and doubting myself in all situations. I don’t feel like I have anyone to talk to about any of this and it is bringing me down. My partner knows I am struggling but probably not the full extent and I don’t want to bring her down also. Sorry for the vent.

    Hi Anita,

    Hope you have a good weekend.

    I had the call with the ‘career shift’ company and it was helpful. They ultimatley said i need to think of ideas as big and wide and then speak to people, different people and try and learn about those industries and link them back to my key values.

    It was nice to hear that other people have the same feelings as me and i’m not alone.

    I still know there is a long way to go but will continue to try my best.

    Thanks Anita,

    I do feel like I’m carrying a lot and unsure why. Think it’s intrinsic. I feel like if I walk away from this well-paid job that I’ve failed. That coupled with the doubt/uncertainty of what comes next is making me overthink a lot and ultimately bringing me down.

    Hi Anita,

    Hope you are well.

    I have the session this coming Saturday. I am really hoping it helps as currently struggling mentally with work. It’s Monday morning here and just got to work as I write this. I just feel like I’m out of my depth with no way out and trying to be positive and do my best but with no real guidance or support and the world expected of me. Deep breaths and take it task by task.

    Hi 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

    Hello 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.

    Thanks 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.

    Thanks 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.

    Hi 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.

    Hi 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

    Hi 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

    Hi 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.
