Im not sure hun. Will it put you in financial trouble if you do quit? Is there a way that you could perhaps find something else part time that would be a better substitute?

i find myself in a similar position as yourself, the childminder costs a fortune and i fear going into work! although im fine when i get there?? ive been off now for 8 weeks and the thought of returning makes me ill, i feel the job perpetuates the anxiety, so im looking not to return whether that means i loose money i just dont care as my health is more important x

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps.
