I have had to take a new job that required a move. I left my original job trying to reduce the stress but now the new job is more stressful than the first. Not a good thing. THe move involve moving about 279 miles to another state. We have been here a year and could not sell our home back in MS. I are in the process of moving my wife and daughter back and I will travel back and forth on weekends. Thankfully I work 4 on and 3 off most of the time. If I need to work on a Friday, I should be able to do it from my home office. This whole thing has my nerves a wreck. The new job is as a quality manager and the company mis-represented the state of their quality system badly just to get me there. They have not been able to keep a quality manager longer than 6 months and the last one shot himself in the head at home. I am retired military and have been there about a year and have had to make serious changes but it is a real challenge especially with the anxiety and depression kicking my butt. I had not really started the course but am now. I have to get these panic attacks under control. Sometimes I think I should just move up north with my wife and daughter to our family home and just get a no stress no brainer job or just draw wellfare. I have worked since I was 12 non stop and am now 56. Oh well, one step at a time I guess. I am going to finish the course all the way through this time. Tomorrow is another day.
