Oh, Sabrina,
If I remember right, you are a nurse? So the switching back and forth between shifts is common. Are you in an area where there are other places of employment? I have worked places where we were put on one shift and left there, unless we agreed to work a different shift. I know this may not be possible, only a suggestion. Also, when I had been out of work for 9 months and went back to work, I was able to remember pretty easily. It somehow comes back to you. Although, there were quite a few changes, I was able to adapt to them.
My dh also liked the extra income and it was hard for him when I quit, but we had a different experience where he is the administrator and I was hired on as one of his nurses and as you can imagine, it did not work well at work or at home for our marriage. Now I work only as needed at a pediatric office and love it because he is not breathing down my neck and I am free to be myself!
He was really good to take care of the stuff at home. He is a better mom than I am! It is not fair. And he did a lot of the housework. I have fibromyalgia, and so when I worked, I didn't do anything at home because I had to save energy for work! I hated that part. I hated hurting all the time and not being able to take care of my house and work at the same time. But we made it through.
And after each child was born and I went back to work, I always was sad because I didn't want to leave them. I remember holding baby #1 all day before I went to work in the evening, crying, and apologizing that I had to leave him. I understand that part.
Good luck and let us know how you are doing. Oh, and if you need an antidepressant, it may help you to be productive at work and at home. It helps a lot!
