Highly recommend a good therapist and psychiatris if you don't have them already. Do you have any hobbies that you could turn into a little "job" or do volunteer work to give you something to do? I think it's probably easier at this point to wait to find employment until after you e had the baby, unless finances require a different plan. Next time, I'd encourage you to go to HR/Occupational health to get an ADA reasonable accommodation that will legally protect you. I just went through this process and my supervisor and HR only know I have a covered disability and the accommodation I need. They do not know any other details, only Occupational Health is aware of the exact diagnosis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quit-job-pregnant-feeling-worthless#post-2773766 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 00:32:14 +0000 birdofafeather 2773766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry you went through that with work. I would encourage you to find a therapist to talk to. Pregnancy hormones are no joke and neither are post partum hormones and getting yourself help, whether by talking it out or medication if necessary will set you up to be a good place when your baby comes. Sounds like your partner is supportive so that's huge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quit-job-pregnant-feeling-worthless#post-2773765 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 22:51:27 +0000 Gigglefits 2773765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello, this is my first time here.</p> <p>My name is Autumn, I am 34. I had to quit my job that i had for twelve years due to insensitivity from the newly transfered manager. I was diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression by my doctor and immediately informed the manager of the diagnosis. To my surprise she treated it as if the condition doesn't exist and continued to push my mental state to the limit. April eighth was the day i was pushed overboard, resulting in my resignation.</p> <p>I am now six months pregnant. I am happy and scared at the same time. This is my first baby. I live with my fiance who's the daddy to be. Often times though i wonder if i did the right thing. I feel worthless and lazy. My depression and anxiety will not let go of me. I try to stay calm for my sake and more importantly the babies. It just seems like its getting too much to bare, i just don't know what to do. Finding work has been fruitless. My fiance though tells me not to worry about work just the baby. I love him so much, but i still feel terrible for not working. </p>
