I don't feel good at all.

I haven't taken both interview yet, but I had chatted with the employers. I don't feel like I'd fit with the first one. I'm doing their test and it's too hard for me. I doubt that they'll hire me.

The second one seems to have long overtime and the boss didn't seem to be friendly.

I sort of lost it at work today. I probably didn’t lose it as bad as I thought though. It was just that during the weekend management had cleaned up everyone’s work station except mine. Mine was still such a mess I couldn’t even work there. I said to my supervisor I had nowhere to work and I think she could tell I was pretty annoyed. She then said I had to walk several feet to put stock away instead of right behind me like I should be able to and like everyone else was able to. I thought that was pretty unfair. By 8:30 I was tired from walking back and forth a bunch of times with stock. Not to mention the coworker I was working with was useless so I was doing his work as well as mine.

I’ve been dealing with severe, severe PMDD all week. I called into work on Tuesday. And then today I realized I wouldn’t be able to make it until Monday. I called my manager and explained I was very sick and couldn’t work today or tomorrow. He said to feel better. I asked him if there was any benefit I could use. Like a sick or personal day. He said he’d check to see what I have. This is so unusual for me to be feeling this bad. I am getting back on my medication on Sunday. I know a ton of other coworkers and supervisors have gotten sick and taken time off. I shouldn’t be treated any differently.

Today is my last day at the workplace. While I am happy to get out soon, I am also afraid with my new one. I am afraid if the new one turn out to be somewhat worse. I hope for the best now

My last day on yesterday's comapny was wonderful. We threw a small party (without the evil witch manager) and we had a great quality time. It's ironic, but it was one of the best day at work. I'll never forget that day.

Today was my first day at new job. My new job is... well.... boring. Actually, I've already realized it since the test. But, they pay nice and the boss is way kinder than my last witch manager. The place is also warmer. I'd better stop complaining.

I don’t get how someone without a job with severe mental illness is going to survive with these possible cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and social security. I was talking with my therapist today and she told me that if you don’t have a severe physical disability and you are young you very easily could not qualify anymore. I have a job now and if I get cut it will be difficult but I’ll manage and I have a lot of experience so finding a second job won’t be an issue. but I know people in their mid 20’s who are in and out of the hospital every month who have never worked a day in their life who could possibly lose everything. What will happen to them?

I'm so stressed I don't have the capacity to explain what I'm going through. I just wish it didn't have to be so difficult to work while suffering from mental illness. I feel so unwell.

Not a complaint, but I need to confess. I need to throw up the lump in my throat.

I don't fit with my new job. Sure, it's way much better than my old workplace. The boss is nicer, the pay is higher, the work pace is better. But the job is just 'not me'. Although it still in my field, it just way too different. I thought I could adjust well last week, but turns out I'm still struggling. I'm trying to suck it up, but the feeling remains. I'm not sure whether this is insecurity or I'm only bored.

Give it a little time. You might settle into it once it is more familiar to you.

Today is a bad day. I've been doing so poorly this week. I think I make my boss disappointed, although he didn't show it.

I heard that my current manager will quit soon.

I am scared. The last time I got a new manager (in old workplace), she turned out to be a catastrophic disaster. I am afraid that the same thing would be happen here

I’m kind of nervous about going to work after coming in late 2 hours and then leaving 20 minutes later on Thursday. Not to mention I told my boss I was transgender as well. But I kind of doubt they will be thinking much of me at all tomorrow.

I emailed HR this weekend and disclosed that I have mental health issues and it’s affecting my ability to work. I requested to work remotely full time, allow me to have at least 24 hours notice for deadlines, and set me up with a mentor.

I’ve only been working there for a few months I went from animal welfare to the financial industry and the learning curve has been so difficult along with a huge lack of training. I’ve been struggling so bad.

I’m anxiously waiting response. Well HR did respond this morning that they would reach out before end of day today. Which is at 5-6pm. I hope they can accommodate my needs. 🤞🏼

I feel very bored and not enjoying my current work.
It's not bad at all. In fact, some aspects are better than in my last workplace.
I admit that this job, although in the same field, but different in specialties. I don't quite like this type of job, honestly. The reason why I take it simply because I needed to get out from my old workplace ASAP at the time. I can't blame anyone but myself.
I make lots of mistakes because of that. This irritates my manager. She is still nice to me. I hate to let her down, but this is not what I'm good for.
I also quite afraid too if my contract wouldn't be extended due to this. Finding a job at the normal time is hard enough, yet now we're in this pandemic.
I try to remember that this work is better and it just temporary until my visa out. I try to remember that many people struggling to get a job at this pandemic. I should be grateful for what I have.
Can't help it.

I needed a vacation, thankfully there's a holiday and I'm working reduced hours. The paycheck will suck but i needed mental health days. I took time to read a book this weekend a couple chapters anyway. Just enjoying solitude.

Whatever my next job may be, I need to stick with it this time. I cannot quit! I actually got a new job tutoring but I don't want to start because I'm so anxious about it! Can someone please help me? I feel so unmarketable!

Teaching online is not bad. I just stay at home. I feel fine. At least, I'm getting paid for my work. So far, no new complaints against me. Life is not that bad. I eventually will have to go teach in person though but the company has decided to wait until next month to decide about this.

Wasting asparagus, I teach online for now. It is not bad. Why don't you look into online teaching jobs? I teach adults only though. This is my niche. I like my job. As you know the review process is not kind though. But, so far, I'm doing ok again.

Sorry to hear you're having so much anxiety. After a horrible situation at my previous job where I was let go, I started doing freelance writing work in late December. I think what has helped is to really pay attention to the feedback I get from my client. She notices and appreciates that. I also keep checklists at my desk that I run through before I turn something in.

I've done tutoring/private classes before. In that case I really tried to make sure I was prepared for the session. When possible I had them scan/send any material they wanted to focus on beforehand. I'd also make notes during the class to give student when it seemed like it would help. For example, with English classes I would make a list of any new vocabulary that came up. If I noticed there was something they really need to work on, I'd bring some materials to the next class to cover that topic.


Good luck!

Quite shocked today. A coworker gets laid-off today.
Unfortunately, Corona wrecks the economy. My workplace is not an exception. Management needs to cut off some budget and decides that her position is not too necessary at the moment.
Quite surprised too, because I'm doing poorly than her. I am lucky that I'm not the one who let go. Maybe because my position is needed.
Not sure who's the next.
