Emotions getting the better of me

Struggling at work with being miserable and feeling not liked on certain days and especially by my higher ups. I work in retail as a cleaner so also feeling like I'm at the bottom and I am just stepped over and the feeling of sometimes being stepped on.

My at home relationship is suffering because of my obsessive negative thoughts. I want to gst in to see my dr but when my work day is over I want to do nothing except rest. 😢 I'm just sad

Please make the appointment with your doctor. I know you are exhausted after work and feel that rest would be most immediately helpful, but maybe the doctor can help in a long-term way. People can be very mean to each other at work. All work is noble. You aren't insignificant. Hang in there.

Hey, you're working right? You're also making an honest living, and doing something that is necessary.

hey thanks for sharing. I know its hard but work is work. I haven't met many people who love their work. I think the challenge is not bringing the negativity home. Apply for a new job, see doctor, and try to listen to music on the way home or listen to something uplifting. I used to bring my negativity home. I try my best to separate the two worlds. Not easy but recognizing you have to is the first step.

I worked many years cleaning and it really is a hard job that goes unappreciated by many. I understand how you feel. I felt judged by everyone as if they thought they were better than me. Especially by management.

And yes, it’s such a tiring job! I was so unhappy, but I felt stuck. And that only added to the depression and anxiety.

But I promise that seeing a doctor will help you learn some coping skills as well as help with any other areas you need to talk about.

It’s easy to feel stuck and defeated, but only you can initiate change. Perhaps even look for a new job.

Not what you're looking for?
