Lol its me again asking questions! Work.......I am so very scared about finding a job again. Its been 8 years since I worked in an office as a secretary. But now that I have been ill for some time I keep pressuring myself and thinking, should I try to go out to work again part time just to give me some focus and something for me.

I have a 13 yr old daughter and a son of 11 with autism (he is going residential school 4 nights a week in September) - we may just get our lives back a little, but its scarey. Maybe I am not giving myself any time and just torturing myself about working. Don't get me wrong I did enjoy work back then but I was quite a different person, full of confidence, worked hard etc.

Now I don't go out the house much at all. Its nice having the peace and quiet around me but am not feeling good about myself and my health. I smoke heavily and weigh too much, on valium for anxiety.......the more I stay at home the worse it gets.

Do any of you work? Let me know about your experiences, thanks
