Stress Center Peer Support

Well I recently made a big decision in my life. I decided to quit my job my last day is next friday. I have been having a lot of mixed emotions about it mainly because the therapist I see thinks that I am making a huge mistake. She says that when people have anxiety and depression have to much time on their hands the seem to get worse. This is really scary to me but on the other hand I am really unhappy at my job. I wake up every morning dreading going and that is also very anxiety producing. I have always wanted to stay home with my son even before the anxiety and panic attacks started that was always the plan. Me and my husband have always planned for me to be able to quit my job when he was promoted up high enough in his job and that time has come. One side of me is very excited about this but then I am scared what if my therapist is right. I am so confused to me it seems like if my job is making me unhappy that wouldn't be good for my recovery but my therapist disagrees. Any advice from anyone would be appreciated!!

I haven't worked for 2 years. I haven't noticed an increase in my depression or anxiety. After receiving this program, I actually feel better. I experience extreme fatigue and migraines. My fatigue is not as bad, but I am still getting migraines. Since you are excited about it and both of you had planned for it, I don't see it as a bad thing. You also will have more time to work the program. If you start feeling more anxious and have too much time on your hands, you could do some volunteer work or find a fun job that you like to do.
