Hi I felt like that in my last job. I felt like a hamster running round on a big wheel endlessly with no escape. Completely trapped. I did escape in the end but it was an awful experience.

You don't give much information but how can we help? Bev x

I went off sick from my job and gathered a warning when I came back. Finally I got a final written warning and was sacked. Bev x

that to me sound a bit of an unfair dismissal but what can you do huh

in reply toseanehh

No it wasn't unfair dismissal unfortunately. There is a myth that employers can't sack you if you are sick with a valid sick note. They don't sack you for illness, but for not fulfilling your contract because you are not at work. perfectly legal. It was the civil service too!

Are you in a similar situation? Bev x

Me too, what's up with that?

It's hard to get me out of the house because I don't ever want to go anywhere but once I'm out I have a great time.

I come back home and feel heavy, mad and stuck.

Hello

Welcome to the real world, life can really make us think especially when we feel we are sprinting, at a snails pace.

I do not know what to suggest, look at the situation you are in now and look for corrections in your pathway to make you feel more positive.

What has caused these feelings ??.

Can we help ??, as I do not know much about the situation you are in

What is trapping you? You need to give us a bit more info, in order for us

To know what exactly you mean. We all have choices in our lives, and sometimes

We make a wrong choice, but it is up to us to decide what is best for us.

More information is definitely needed, as I have no crystal ball. Lol

Yes, at the moment. I can't sleep so I stay up late, then go to bed only to wake in the night. I pick up my phone to stop the intrusive thoughts, then get distracted and stay awake too long. I oversleep...and then it all begins again. I want someone to come and help me break the cycle but deep down I know no-one will. Any ideas on what to do?
