I can't stop working
I'm a 40 year old woman. I have one child in preschool.
I work for a short time after giving birth (annual income of 4 million), but my chronic glaucoma has worsened since 2 years ago, and my blurred and invisible parts have increased.
The doctor said that using a computer (I kept using it for about 6 hours) and that working did not lead to worsening glaucoma, but my eye fatigue was severe, partly because of my age, and I always had headaches, dizziness, back pain, etc. probably because of uncomfortable middle work, and finally, symptoms of depression also appeared, and I took a month off of work.
While I was resting, I tried to eat and exercise, and lived a leisurely lifestyle, so I felt completely better and my physical condition has improved just like that.
So I think I'll go back to work again, but when I think that if I go back, I may have the same suffering again, I don't have the courage.
The family says they should stop working because they are worried about their health. I've already worked hard enough, and I think I have savings for this year, but I'm worried about my money and can't stop.
My husband earns enough income (annual income of 10 million yen), and I'm 43 years old, and I think if my husband gets sick or his savings are reduced due to hyperinflation, and it's a waste to think that once I stop, I can only find a fraction of my current job. In particular, I have children who don't have specialized skills and aren't in perfect physical condition...
I also think it was stressful that I couldn't stop for 2 years even though the ophthalmologist said it wasn't relevant, but I think it would be better for my health (I really think so), but it's still... When my eyes are in good condition, I think I can continue, and when I'm bad, I think it's absolutely impossible, and my heart shakes.
Please give me some advice.
