So how did you cope at work?
I did, I used to hide a lot of it but I couldn't, I couldn't use the machines and I just was getting frustrated with myself as well. It just, you know, I, in the end my doctor kept saying to me 'You'll have to finish work, you've just got to'. 'Cos I used to get depressed and upset about it because I, I couldn't. I, I really could not do my job.
And what was your job?
Oh, but, in, in the beginning I worked in the development kitchen in the lab, in Nestles, in the laboratory. It was quality control, you know. And then that closed down and then I was downstairs in the office only with my manager, just bits and pieces, nothing, they have got names for it but nothing exciting.
So did you retire early, I mean, did you …
Yeah, yeah, I took early retirement, yeah. Yeah. Well it was a case of having to. You know, I had to then, yeah. I realised then I had to 'cos I couldn't do my job, not to 100%. No, I used to bring work home and that and because I couldn't do it in the time it should have been done and it was paperwork that just had to be done. You know and it was just, I just couldn't cope with it.
So is it, towards the end it was office work?
Yeah.
… that you were doing?
Yeah, hmm. I just couldn't cope with it. |
