I thought it would be interesting to see how people deal with working and managing their mental health. What do you do? Are you unable to work at the minute? How does your mental health impact your ability to work?
I'll go first:
I'm assistant manager in a very small care setting. I only work part-time right now as I am trying to balance my work and home life, when I worked 36 hours a week it made me quite poorly. Work is hard for me, even though the job isn't. I spend around 70% of my time at work wishing that I was at home where I know I'd feel less anxious.

I work in a hospital, about 5-6 hours a day, sometimes longer if needed.
My brain tends to go off spiralling if I'm there for longer than 8 hours though cause i can do my job without thinking about what i'm doing.

Do you work every day whisper? That sounds good I know what you mean about working too long. My days are 5 hours long now and sometimes I think that's too long!

Monday mornings are the worst for me I can barely cope with it. I work at a printers. I like jobs where im behind the scenes and just left to get on with it by myself. At work I listen to music a lot to try to keep calm and ignore everything around me. But my office is busy and some of my colleagues argue and I feel anxious a lot. Ive been trying to be friendly to everyone but I feel like I get left out because im quiet and moody

Bless you Phar. Yeah I definitely get that. I think I'd prefer to work in a place where I could be left on my own at a computer! Preferably with my own office lol.
