Hi and welcome

so sorry you have been sad and struggling

hope you will find friends and support here

I understand... Seems like when it rains, it pours.

I know there are some positive things in your life. Grab onto them and savor all you can from that.

Don't know all you're going though but sorry you're in this darkness right now. I won't always be this way.

Work is draining in itself. Even worse if you're not happy at your job. It can be overwhelming to handle. I know there are real reasons that jobs are depressing. The workforce goes through hell. Not enough perks, I'll tell you. and at the end of the year, where did it all go? the time, the money, the body, is it worth it? Well, we have to eat. Just do the best you can and try to make changes where you can. Don't beat up on yourself too much. It only makes things worse.

Are you getting good medical attention, so you're not having some of this due to physical changes, age or some underlying lows in your chemistry?

Just thinking out loud.

I hope you find some peace, even for a moment. Look harder for a little happiness in your day.

See if your Dr. will give you several weeks of sick leave to rest. Mine did, and it has helped.

Beathe....just breathe. I bet you have been holding yourself so tense, that you are forgetting to let in fresh clean air. Take ten minutes and breathe. Make your tummy move. As you breathe in, make that tummy poke out. Suck air right into your belly button. O2 will help cleanse out some of that stress hormones that get released when we stay on high alert. its exhausting to be on constant guard.

At night, when you lay down, deep breathe. relax your toes, say good night toes, and then your ankles, good night ankles, and then your shins, good night shins, keep deep breathing! this will help you reach a much deeper place of sleep, and it will be more restorative than just the quick nap before work that most are accustomed to.

If you really hate your job, and feel its a miserable place to be, then...search for a new one. DONT leave your current job! Do you need the benefits? The income? then stay, but make plans to get out. Start by typing up a clean fresh resume. List all your qualities and talents. Sometimes just seeing your talents on paper helps to show your brain that you have come a long way. Then get your resume out there.

While you are in the meantime of waiting, find ways to help make your day better. I saw another post of yours, and it appears your boss lady is a very unhappy lady. please know that its HER issue. She sounds miserable. I cant imagine its much fun to live her life. To be obsessed all day and to feel that the world is doing it all wrong, while you are the only one on earth who is doing it right. How sad for her. I bet even her friends avoid her.

If its a good job, and you dont think you can do better for income, or benefits, then try to find ways to make YOUR day more tolerable. NOT HERS! you are not going to please this woman. You can please yourself by doing your job to the best of your ability, and realizing that no matter how hard you work, or how well you do on the job, she IS going to find something wrong with it. Take it as HER issues and dont own them as yours.

concentrate on your happy home life, or your wonderful family, or your funny TV programs, or your great computer friends, and count YOUR blessings. you cant and shouldnt try to fix her. You can and should work on YOU.

Breathe! draw in some air. relax, let her go. Dont be angry, or mean, or upset with her. just let her live in her miserable corner, and you can be in your clean, well lit, full of O2 corner. breathe!
