Im glad its sorted out for you. Its a hard decision to make and accept. Ive got what we call here an ill health retirement. I paid into a pension scheme and basically due to the fact I will never work again, Ive been retired aged 35.
Although due to the bullying and harrassment I suffered at work, I have panic attacks going anywhere near the building...I still miss my work and the sense of accomplishment it gave me. I can't even boast Im a stay at home mum as we dont have kids lol!
Im still adjusting to not working. Its nice now the pressure is off and I sometimes wonder how I managed to do it. I think its a kind of mourning process, grieving for that part of my life that has gone.
So just be easy on yourself, you are going to need a period of adjustment. And you also have the two year period in which if you do get a remission you can go back.
So relax the decision has been made and if your anything like me you will find something else to worry about!
Love
