RiverLight Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Question of the day: How to remain sane and relatively happy in a totally dysfunctional work environment? My saving graces: At least I am happy outside of work My loving husband My loving friends and family But each day is a struggle at work. Each week seems to get worse there. My boss is SO uninspiring - the leadership all around is lacking and uninspiring. The other day my boss said to us that he was conspiring to come up with an excuse to be able to leave work. He walks around glum all day and clearly does not want to be there. What kind of effect would that have on a team? A totally negative one. I applied for a job this weekend. That helped. My goal: one application per week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derendia Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I’m doing worse than usual because of problems at work and spending the holidays entirely alone since no one wanted me around but I got a kitten and he makes me feel better and gives me a reason to stick around, even if I’m still extremely depressed to the point I spend most of my time not working doing absolutely nothing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My former boss left "notes" about my performance that were decidedly negative (big shock). There's pressure from above to inject new blood into the organization...and put the old horses out to pasture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found that the best therapists on the planet walk around on four legs. I have two older cats myself. Enjoy your time with kitty! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anxiousE Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Still sick and my eyes hurt from lack of sleep, but oddly, I don't feel tired! ...meh! Maybe a little. I know I'll definitely need a nap today, but I just ate so...yeah, no, I think I AM tired. Lol But maybe coffee will change that. Gah! How I don't envy those of you who have to work!

Depressedgurl007 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Things are getting bit better. I still say I hate my life sometimes cos looking at silver linings is something I need to consciously do and can be a strain sometimes. Just taking it one step at a time. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nojoy Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I am ticked off. I have an appt with my therapist tomorrow and I just learned I have to report for jury duty. I really, really need to see therapist as things have not been good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highanxiety Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Find it hard to not be depressed with all that is going on with our Government, the climate, and the world in general. It has definitely made me feel more hopeless. I fear for the future. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the space in my mind seems to be filled with bitterness and regrets and thoughts of people that have done terrible things to me. My mind is also filled with the same. I speak about justice all day. I am very bitter times ten. Only kids make me smile. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people in my life want me to fail. try to ignore them. when i lost friends and relatives in the past because of my illness to be honest i cried. i failed like a failure because no one could accept my problems, or understand my illness. almost 90% of the people left and i was sad, and alone. but after a while i realized them leaving me was the best thing that ever happened to me. now i don't have to deal with their attitude and thinking that this illness is in my head, that I'm not trying hard enough etc...I don't have many people I can rely on , and I think it's better this way. They say you are lucky if you find a few good people/friends in this world. I have a few that I see from time to time because people are busy, (married, etc) but compared to those who I lost, I look back and realize they were not worth it. You can't make fun of people and bring them down, especially when you have no clue what they are going through.... You are a good person and I know someday you will meet some good friends who you can count on. I also had to find the hard way that sometimes strangers are better than family.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiverLight Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Out of the blue I'm having major back pain. I fell in the shower 2 months ago and hurt my back then, but I thought it had healed itself. Now I can hardly move without sharp pains. I can hardly sleep. I'm seeing a chiropractor today. I really pray this can be healed. The thought of being incapacitated physically scares the hell out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that the human back hasn't completely evolved yet for upright bipedalism, even though we've supposedly been walking on our two feet for a million years or more. Who knows. But it certainly does seem to be a weak spot. Hope yours get better soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
