Difficulty holding down a stressful full time job

Unfortunately the company & employee relationship where I work is not good. The area manager is who refuses to make changes to the volume of the music as well as other loud chaotic noise that just shouldn’t be done in this environment. My doctor has asked for accommodation of the noise cancelling head phones which the company did end up providing but they aren't the best but definitely help some. I am looking into possibly purchasing my own headphones of better noise canceling quality if I can find some. Also checking out different exercise or stretches that my body will tolerate. My dr is currently working on filling out a job accommodation request for additional breaks, dr appointment time & additional time off work as well as to be seated away from loud music & other loud noise. Hopefully that will help me manage to at least be able to make it through each day & hopefully make it my 2 yrs I have left.

I also have to make it a huge priority to take care of my mental health like you said in your post. Thankfully my husband has been very supportive.

It's great to hear you have a supportive doctor, let them advocoate for you! Also, a supportive and loving husband.

Find the exercise or movments techniqes that work for you, it does cause some discomfort and pain from a couple of hours to a few days afterwards but the benefits of maintaining your muscle tone and strength, keep mobility in your joints you will thank yourself later on. (otherwise being non active will reduce your mobility in the future).

Want to tell you I have had success with the Bose earphones over the ear. I found the beats earphones hard to use.
