Not making a vow verbally

Q: I remember that I did not make any vow or verbally utter any vow to read 8 rakaat shukriya nafil namaz. Only a thought came and I read. Still, that thought is confusing me that it was a vow and I am getting scared of those thoughts. I am getting thoughts that I made vow verbally, but I don't remember making a vow verbally. I am confused whether it was verbally or not.

Woman working

Q: I am a mother of 3 kids. Few years ago, I used to work as a daily wage lecturer in a college. I left my job to take care of my kids. Now I came to know that my fellow colleagues have all been ranked permanent by the government. My kids are now school going and I feel very depressed at home although I have a loving husband who earns well masha-Allah. Sometimes I regret leaving my job. I feel stressed and awful. Kindly I need good advice.
