I've been working at my corporate job for over two years now, and honestly, I can't stand it anymore. It's draining my energy and making me dread each day. Currently, my manager is on maternity leave, and my skip manager is also absent, leaving me without any support. This has been particularly tough since I recently got diagnosed with ADHD, and I really need structure and accountability, which I just don't have right now. Because of this, I've been struggling to keep up with my tasks, falling weeks behind, and I’m terrified that someone will notice soon. The anxiety is overwhelming, especially with a big event coming up in October that I need to prepare for. To cope, I started medication to help me get through the workdays while I look for a new job. I had a recruiter interview this morning that seemed to go well, but I know the medication can only help so much. I've considered taking FMLA to offload my work to someone else, but I'm worried about the consequences. If I find a new job while on leave, I might have to pay back the employer's portion of my benefits, and I can't afford to take unpaid leave. I spoke with a trusted colleague about needing some support, but I feel like I can't rely on anyone to help me navigate this situation. I was hoping to have a new job by now, but the job market is tough, and I'm feeling stuck. Any advice would be really appreciated.
