Feeling Trapped at Work

Haha!! Definitely in the same boat and feel exactly the same! I'm looking for a new job...maybe that's something to consider for you. It's never a fun process, but neither one of us should feel like work is making us that miserable. Not good for our mental well being at all. ♥️

Yes, I needed to leave my job because I was being bullied and my coworker was purposely putting me in situations where she would try to get me angry (though I wouldn’t react) to get me fired. My boss wouldn’t believe me, I guess, when I told him how she wasn’t working and leaving everything for me. Not sure why I would make such a huge accusation like that unless it was true. But yes eventually I just knew enough was enough, I would say good morning for months and she just ignored me and withheld work information, and apparently that was okay to my boss since “she wasn’t going anywhere”… and yes I hated myself during that time and I knew that wasn’t fair to me anymore to put up with all that toxicity. Maybe you just need something else, not sure if you’re experiencing anything that’s making it so bad or if it’s just restless bit either way it’s okay to move on.

I try and keep my hands busy and it keeps me focused. Have you heard of fidget toys? Look them up on Amazon, they might help to keep your brain focused when the day is slow. Most of them fit in your hand to keep from seeing them. This is what I have.....peas, infinity cube, a stress ball that is a cat, polished rocks...

Yes I had that experience many times. And I was also bullied there at my last job. I am on disability and now I am aware of my self. I also feel like I need to leave like, go to the trailer and craft, get away from all my clutter, it overwhelms me. When I craft my brain is in another world and I feel more at peace in my brain, it calms my anxiety. Do you have a hobby?
