Tell me how working for a living has affected your health and wellbeing.
I'll go first:
Twenty odd years in retail, hospitality and production, working repetitive jobs, being in stressful, fast paced conditions working under toxic management, and a fully flexible schedule. Leaving to work in logistics and warehousing. I'm not even 40 and I'm exhausted. I have serious anxiety, I get panic attacks, I can't deal with confrontation. I have 3 trapped nerves, one in each shoulder and one in my leg. The one in my right shoulder needs physio as its affecting my ability to use my arm, constant pins and Needless in my fingers. The dehydrating conditions give me migraines. I have chronic Gastritis from years of working in retail management, I'm lucky to not have an ulcer. I have a constant pain in my right hip and lower back from my current job. I'm falling apart and I have to change my job again soon as this one is just not doing me any good. I can barely even support myself working a full time job in the UK. Do I really have to do this for the next 20 odd years?
The only good thing about working is the social side. That's it.
Your turn…
