Abusive relationships and work
what do I do when I just got out of an abusive relationship of 4 years and I’m torn to pieces living at home with my parents now who also were abusive to me growing up and trying so hard to catch up on all the work that I put off for so long while in the relationship? My performance reviews are coming up next week and I just feel so overwhelmed because I haven’t met ANY of my goals. Now it’s piled on so high and I can’t focus at all. On top of it I have strep and took 2 days off last week. I feel like my only option is to quit my job and take time to heal. But I’m worried about doing that because I have such a good job.

It is understandable to feel overwhelmed with you having fallen ill especially with everything else going on with the relationship and having to move back with your parents. The silver lining seems to be that you like your job! With the review coming up, would it be possible to perhaps tell them that you've been dealing with an abusive personal situation and need some time off to heal? Some work places allow for extended leave without pay, but at least you might be able to keep the job?
It's a really difficult situation and I wish you well. Get well soon and let us know how things go! I hope things get better soon.
