Fending off Shame

I took off yesterday because of depression, chronic pain. Instead of calling I did what I usually do and sent email, voicemail. Instead of gently reminding me to call etc, the new supervisor sent a group email detailing what not to do. After feeling like death most of yesterday, I came back to hell hole and it's immediate complain. I have no safe place 8hrs a day. Please give me a prayer or affirmation, suggestions 😊

Prayers for you... I know how hard it is just to get out of bed. Feel proud and accomplished that you're at work!!

You can do this, and don't look at the clock lol the time will pass by faster that way

I'm having to remind myself that there is a higher purpose and this job doesn't define me. 😊 It may feel like everyone is against me but it's how I perceive them. This job is not worth my health.

You are right, it maybe your perception. Just be kind and do your work. The people, the job, do not define you. I said a prayer for you. There are many scriptures that address this type of situation. But the best one is, Galatians 5, I think it starts at verse 22, the fruits of the spirit are these, peace, love, joy, longsuffering, gentleness, faithfulness, kindness, goodness and self control. We are spiritual beings, put these things into place, you do not have to be overly friendly to anyone but be at peace with them, and be kind. God’s blessings.

I honestly can sympathize with you. Stress at jobs makes me worse mentally. I did the same thing calling off because I was not feeling mentally well. I switched my job a little over a week ago and honestly I'm happier. Not saying that's what you should do it's just a thought. Hope this helps.

Please be thankful for the job. It may not be the best place but it is a job that pays you so you can live. Change your thinking about the job, God gave you this job to sustain yourselves. It is not a hell hole because you are there. Follow the new rules without complaining and just please try to be thankful that you are working. This should also help your anxiety level.

Oh, how I understand! This constant pain can get so discouraging. But remember you do have a destiny and your moment of today does not define it.

I know that you are loved and not forgotten! Your creator see's you and I pray that you find peace in your heart with a new truth to the depths of how much you are loved.

I pray that you find comfort in this process and that you grow stronger in it. I do know that you have a purpose and through your testimony, other's will find their joy.

May your day be covered with His abundance.
