Title: advice please
Post by: darkangel1979 on August 01, 2012, 08:52:51 PM
Hi, im new here and got a question. I have been working as a chef in a pub but it has been making me ill-i feel physically sick, anxious and have a stomach ache when i think of going into work. I have felt like this for the past 2 weeks so i have quit the job. Was this a good decision? I am hoping I will find a new job very soon (i have enough money for the next month).

Should i of stayed there, even though it made me feel ill and depressed? what do i do if i cannot find a new job?

Thank you in advance.

I think possibly it might have been better to have seen your doctor and gone off sick but I've worked in paces that have me ill like that and its definitely better not to work in an environment that makes you ill.

Its difficult to accept and not feel guilty but as you say its what you need to try to do.  Taking one day at a time is a humungous task but try to think of the times you've agonised of something that might happen and it didnt, thats howI tackle it.
