Then you have several options, but I'd suggest talking to CAB or ACAS or a union for help and proper advice..

Thanks I'm just tired and really fed up wish I felt normal again and not different. It just sets all my anxiety off its like I'm going in circles.Originally Posted by Suzi
I think anyone with a chronic illness feels similar. It's really hard, but you have to get the proper advice.

I sometimes think it'll just be easier to leave but then i think that i'll just go back to isolating myself again and it'd be 10x harder to start somewhere fresh with my anxiety etc. I've known this would be coming at some point i cant stay on 14 hours forever just wish it didn't make me feel so worthless.
You’re not worthless, and none of us should value ourselves purely on our job. I do get it, I haven’t been able to work since 2007 (although I do some voluntary work) and it’s hard to accept that something that’s been a huge part of our adult lives is potentially changing, but a job is just a job
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
I completely agree with Paula. It's highly unlikely that I'll be well enough to go into paid employment anytime soon (if ever) so I do voluntary work instead which helps my self esteem, makes me feel I am giving something back itms? A job is a job. Your health and welfare is much, much more important that that!

I understand but we've not long bought a house and we've a mortgage to pay so I'm constantly worrying about that I hate spending money and I'm constantly saving worrying about things so that's what's been supplementing me but I'm aware it won't last forever and I'm worried if I leave I won't want to go out.
Work stressed that they've done everything they can but I'm struggling to understand why after accepting I need routine there trying to change my days from Tues-Friday to Wednesday - Saturday which has had me worrying all weekend. It means my dog will be alone all day Saturday as I can't get anyone to look after her (I'm aware this sounds silly, but I worry) our usual dog walker doesn't do Saturdays and 2 others I've tried said the same.
I've wrote down what hours I can do and I'm willing to try and Increase them I'd like to stay on my current days as I've worked them for 18 years.
I've managed to keep busy all weekend but now I can feel the anxiety building and it's driving me mad, I don't feel like eating as I'm feeling constantly sick.
I'm going to try and call acas and citizens advice but I'm wary of pushing work too much.
Sorry for the long post hoping it helps with writing everything down
Never apologise for writing a long post, you don't need to. You are right, getting everything out of your head is a positive thing.
Have you asked them why they are changing your shift pattern?

No ill try and ask them tomorrow that's if I don't put it off.
I'm happy to try and increase my hours but I'd like to stay on the days I work as they work for me. My partners off Thurs & Friday and my mum can come over Wednesday if I do late night Tuesday that's me not having to worry about the dog
All you can do is ask lovely...
