I really miss my former colleagues, all of whom have found other jobs too.
We keep in touch regularly but they were my closest friends and I am really missing the laughs, their friendship and the nights out we used to have.
I’m a 60-year-old woman. I feel really down.

I can’t be bothered with anything anymore.
My husband goes out to work each morning but I struggle to drag myself out of bed – and crawl back in as soon as I get home.

DEIDRE SAYS: Well done for getting another job.
It will take time for you to get used to your new position and the new colleagues too. Try to see this as a new chapter.
