Re: Hi
@MDT
yeah I agree with the lockdown thing that you said - I've been struggling to keep well during lockdown too. We're not designed to be cooped up all day... I try to go out for a walk when I can.
One thing that I've found helpful is reaching our for support - which is exactly what you seem to be doing 🙂
Sorry to hear you don't have any work at the moment. That can be difficult. I hope things pick up soon.
I've also had jobs which I didn't enjoy in the past. I used to work in a pretty competitive industry and it was really bad for my mental health. I can appreciate how important balance is for overall well-being now.

Re: Hi
what industry? @Former-Member
some are worse than others thats for sure
I am not good today. Declined in the past hour. People ignoring me. Not telling me stuff.
These people I work with take it very seriously.
I have not felt this bad in this job ever since starting
I know I definitely feel undervalued and there has been far too much bureaucratic speak to digest - I understand none of it.
I feel anxious to ask and in the past when I have people haven't given me a straight answer.
It's a situation where you are screwed if you ask what needs doing and screwed if you don't ask.

Re: Hi
I'm sorry to hear you're struggling so much today @MDT, though it seems perfectly understandable from everything you've described, to be experiencing that kind of frustration. I'd really like to encourage you to reach out for extra suppprt from someone in your offline world. Is there someone you could think of to reach out and speak to? Otherise, there are other services like Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636) and Lifeline (13 11 14) you can access for extra support at this time.
Wishing you whatever courage and strength you may need to get through and all the very best.

Re: Hi
Did it
I just said something has come up and will be logging out at 2pm
IT's not their business why and I'm not comfortable sharing
I don't know what's going on anymore with it and whether or not they will provide me a good reference
In the end - it's just a job. I have other references to work with.
I need to stop being so pushy towards myself and lay some ground rules down about what i worry about and spend time concentrating on in regards to work, references and all that.
Am I "trying"? Yes. Well that's all that matters I think.
I am hurting a lot these days.

Re: Hi
Hey @MDT
sorry for not responding straight away. The industry was sales.
Good on you for taking some time off for your mental health. I have done that as well in the past and I've found it very helpful.
Has taking time off today made you feel more calm? Maybe do something you enjoy a lot.
Here to chat.

Good on you. At least as a short term plan, getting some time (even if just for an afternoon) away from the work will hopefully let you gain further insight and perspective.
I hope you have a good afternoon 🙂

Re: Hi
Thanks @Former-Member
Went for my walk. Will eat something now.
I feel the walk cleared my head a bit.
I can focus on doing something more interesting or productive with my time.
Then shower up
Then spend rest of day doing something I want
I really just want to improve my skills and lifestyle. Recreation isn't that interesting much anymore maybe idk.
Anyway cheers for chilling out
