Jobs--During the last seven years, it reduced my ability to handle stressful jobs resulting in "job hopping" rather than "climbing the ladder". And after the attempt, I was unable to work at all for a year. I currently only work on temporary assignments from home (one company I worked for prior to my attempt still employs me). So now I am part of the "gig" economy. I no longer work the way I used to (I used to sometimes work a 50-55 hour week), instead, I am with an employer that only requires a 20 hour week and the schedule is flexible. Thank goodness my husband still really works. I no longer make very much money and the thought of applying for other jobs and explaining my "period of unemployment" makes me anxious. My spouse doesn't want me to work full time. I'm grateful and happy not to go back to a real job but now have nothing saved for my retirement. If I had been more stable, I wouldn't have raided my retirement accounts!
Relationships--it has mostly been repaired with my spouse but I worry about how my stability and attempt affected my children. They isolate a lot.
