Struggling to get on with work since mum passed away

Hi there

So I've always been one to go and get a new job when things started getting boring, but since my Mum passed in March it has become somewhat different.

When my Mum was diagnosed last year I left everything behind and moved back home, as we knew time was running out. So I got a new job after moving. When my Mum passed I decided to go back, as I had nothing left with my Mum no longer being there. Fortunately, my employer at the time said I could transfer to the head office, as it was closer to where I previously lived. So I moved and quite my job a couple of months later as I just couldn't cope. I figured it might because I somehow saw a connection between the job and losing my Mum.

I got a new job and started in August and now I'm starting to feel a similar kind of anxiety. Am I not capable of working anymore? Has anyone else experienced something similar? I miss my Mum so much and I don't really struggle during the day, it's more during evening/night time. I just don't know if I actually have a problem or just ended up being unlucky with the new job. 

Any comments or thoughts would be very much appreciated x

  • Yes I have had the exact same problems after loosing my step father. Since then I have been looking after my mum but stuggle at nights the worse and it is hard to focus on getting on with life and often torture myself that I should have done more while he was receiving care in a rest bite centre where he passed away. I have had a  few minor health issues which have developed since July but am receiving some treatment to cure those symptoms I Hope! Anxiety and stress is the worst of things
