Work

[Nem]

Is anyone else having huge problems with work or working itself? I am so freakin messed up that I can barely function and it's getting worse everyday. How do others deal with this?

I force myself through each day, every day. Sometimes I drink a bit of whiskey to ease my anxiety. On a blessed days I'm able to concentrate and get enough done so that it averages out a bit.

I'm sorry to hear that, I like the whiskey idea though

I open my eyes with instant sadness rage. I do this semi scream/yell grunt sound followed by some few choice words. Seems I either have no jobs or too many jobs at once. Currently unemployed indefinitely as of 2 months ago. Knowing that my jobs are temps in a way that I don't have to be stuck and having so many diff types. I have found a few that I halfway am ok with and even tho pay in the field is not good no matter what year it is at least I the torture (that's how it felt at certain jobs) is not there.
Routine tho was always important in the morning or else I would lose my objective (get to work) and downhill spiral would commence.
Waking up and getting some exercise in helped me to at least change my mood slightly to make enduring a bit more easy.
And having a venting buddy ( friend I text in morning complaining about life) at first wake up until done getting ready for work helped along the situation. Used to put me in a better mood believe it or not

overall work at one point or another has been a KMN situation! *hug

I had a great job..Paid well,good environment,sense of pride in what I did..Then the company got bought out by a large corporation,replaced the management that I loved with a bunch of dickheads.Around this time I also experienced deaths of close family,friends.Also problems with neighbors.The environment at work was cut throat and highly competitive..Extremely stressful to add to my anxiety and depression.Started drinking more and isolating in my off time.Angry outbursts on the job and lack of focus and interest.Now Im unemployed,and broke.Even more anxious and depressed.Cant see myself working anywhere else and dont even want to try anymore.Interviews and applying seem like a big joke.

I think about CTB during work, so it makes it difficult.

I hope you feel better now that you don't have that job anymore. Happiness is #1 priority.

I've been unemployed for a bit over a year, I don't have any skills or hopes that I'll ever be able to financially sustain myself, and I don't want to rely on a man EVER. Therefore, I need to ctb sadly :c

I either get fired( I don't fit in this world), or I cannot take it anymore and quit.

It's probably my number one reason. For the last two years, I had the most lenient work environment imaginable. The work itself maybe took up 10 percent of the time I was on the job, I worked with a dude I liked and was able to read, relax, sit in cafes and eat breakfast, all while being paid.

Now I've been unemployed for a little over five months.

The two jobs I had before that (warehouse and construction) all led me to a total breakdown and I only managed to stay on the job with through drinking myself into a coma at night.

Working a full-time job, where I actually need to be attentive, like driving a forklift or filling up shelves – I simply cannot imagine myself in this situation anymore. I'm running out of money now and for the last few months didn't even have enough motivation to look for a menial job or file for unemployment.

My (official) education level is okay, I have the equivalent of a good high school degree, which would've allowed me to go to college. I educated myself instead, but acquired no useful skills that would benefit me on the job market –

I'm horrible at politics and don't want to deal with bullshit; I want my work to be meaningful or at least to be ethically decent, not some job where I scam people or sell them useless bullshit – sometimes I wondered whether I am somewhere on the spectrum, because I am really allergic to BS and office politics.

Managers never liked me, because I can't help myself but speak my mind on matters managerial, and they usually have ego problems and see it as a personal attack when you point out some obvious inefficiency (apes); let's say, I was not raised to mindlessly take orders: my father didn't beat me up enough for that.

I go through phases. I'm really good with work and pressure as long as it's a consistent flow, but when something derails it, I shut down and take days off and get insanely depressed. It's very difficult. Being bipolar is a shit show and I try hard every day. My brain does not feel like it's as fast as it used to be.

My current job started out as a fun role where I planned to learn and experience a lot while sacrificing some pay, but a lot of organizational changes happened in the past couple of months and the politics have become almost unbearable. I'm taking classes to move to a different field, so it's only a matter of time. This situation has a practical way out in a few months.

One of the things that was helping me maintain my sanity(literally) was establishing boundaries--work stays at work except for the occasional email. Now that I work from home and it occupies a space in my room, it feels like there's been an invasion. I used to be the go-getter *star* who was always there to help and learn everything. I'm tired now.

I just go through the motions daily and use up sick days when I have them. I can't stop working because I am independent and relying on someone financially would kill me on the inside.

Yeah, my anxiety is the problem and I can't really focus because of my Depression.
You know, how am I supposed to work, when I am nervous and anxious and its just making it worse?
