My job is making me depressed

[Fatima_sh]

I am aware that this might not be the best thing to do at the moment but,I really want to quit my job. I’m miserable, I have no energy, no enthusiasm and I absolutely hate it. I don’t feel like I’m growing, developing and I’m definitely not getting the support needed to further my “career”. I’m just mindlessly doing what I need to do at the moment.

I would advise that you stay in your job but look for something else i hope you find what makes you happy🙂

Oh, honey, I feel you. I also hate my job. And they're really jerking me around right now which is making it even harder for me to go to work.

If you can, hang on as long as you can and aggressively look for a new job. If you are at a point where you are having suicidal thoughts, figure out what your safety net looks like and quit.

Corporations do not need to suck out your soul in order to survive. And despite what they want you to think, you dont need them. There are other companies you can work for that will be more tolerable.

I'm struggling with this right now, too. I'm fighting for a reasonable accommodation and every time I submit something they tell me it's not good enough, even when it's exactly what they sent me to fill out. I'm about 3 days from quitting.

I’m looking for a new job but no one is hiring at the moment. Sadly my soul has already been sucked dry... I used to be very enthusiastic and I always wanted to do my best, but there came a time when I was being judged and scolded for every single mistake I made. I felt very small and stupid... it’s unfair because I wasn’t even trained properly! I basically trained myself by asking around and finding out how things work. I hope this whole thing blows over soon and that other job offers start coming up. 😔

I know how you feel, I couldn’t ever really keep a job ☹️

I would say job hopping(if you could) to one that doesn't disrupt your peace of mind.

But with the current situation, I don't know if it's the risk you're willing to take.

I have two job and I hated both of them, but it pays the bill. I do distract myself and even on days that are bad(got narcissist coworkers bs about my work quality or biching in general) I try my best. My part-time is terrible with manager on my ass push push push goddamnit lol.

Yeah you’re right it’s very risky to quit a job now. I’ll just try my best I guess, and thanks for sharing your experience

Hi. I understand your situation. I quit my nursing job in January. I hated the treatment I received by not only some co-workers but also the patients. I felt guilty for quitting but my health was suffering. Have you ever wrote down the pros and cons of staying at your job? This really helped me with my decision. Sending you positive thoughts.

[Fatima_sh in reply to Campinggirl]

Writing down the positives and negatives is a great idea! I will do that, but unfortunately even if the cons outweigh the pros I still can’t just quit at the moment.
