This is frequently occuring scenario since these layoffs.
I suggest you guys to take break for a week atleast and rejuvenate your relationship. It's tough scenario where both of you are willing to preserve your relationship but the situation is adverse.
Mental wellbeing is also crucial. Both of you need to share the responsibilities and restructure your finances as per current scenarios.
My personal opinion is
Money doesn't buy you satisfaction. But if you step out of the house and you need to buy any "distraction" from anxiety, money is essential.
So plan for 6 months and recaliberate your career plan.
Things are adverse yet both of you are in it together. Stay attached and sail through it together.
True. I am exhausted.
Take some day off instead of leaving job and take a mutual decision
Sometimes I also feels the same… I would suggest to take a long vacation instead of leaving job… switch off ur phone and be with ur family or frnd .. whatever with whom u feel comfortable…
Then bounce back !!
Any way your husband could help out by earning a bit more? Maybe by taking some work on the side? That might help cushion the blow some of you decide to switch and the new role pays less. No reason you should go through this on your own - you should be a team!
This was me a year ago. Lost a pregnancy in it all. Same issue with the husband. Same encouragement.I took medical leave. While on leave, i heard from the husband that i was not working.
Since you know that, he was just saying "Quit", don't do it. He might throw it in your face once you are at home. I hope he won't. Good luck.
If your health insurance allows it, talk to someone that will help you feel seen.
I talked to multiple professionals. Some were not very helpful. With others, i felt seen. It took some time, but now I feel like forget it. I am working on not stressing. I am letting life happen.
I wish i could tell you to quit. I wish I had better advice other than therapy and retail therapy. Fyi, I still remained economical when I did retail therapy.
Instead of taking time off from work spend a weekend to recharge. Try therapy. A therapist could help you clarify your situation and goals.
Just go to monk mode things will be back on track
Tough call in a tough job market. I chose to leave my job but that was years ago, different times. I guess if it really came down to it today I would still make the same decision. You can always find another job, even if it takes longer, can’t always get back your health as easily.
Take sick leave for mental health getting a doctors note. I know someone who took 6 months full Pay. UK sick leave.
