I'm sure I'm not alone in this but I often have issues with working. Especially full time work which when I have been employed is what I've done, and what I'm doing now.
My mental health is fairly stable but I have blips, and stress causes them to get a lot worse. I don't manage to get enough sleep and work is stressful and poorly managed so I'm basically working like mad all day. It's a viscous cycle because being stressed and sleep deprived means I get sick lots.
I've only been at this job about 7 weeks, so I haven't been off sick yet, but in my previous full time jobs, calling in sick was something I did too much, and got a warning for it in the end. I'm worried I'm not coping well enough, or will be able to continue to cope with full time work. It makes me feel like a failure, other people can do it!
Does anyone else find work stressful or difficult to manage?
I work in an of.fice at the minuet and there is a girl on my team who I dislike so much. She is a patronising, bully type who always tries to get people into trouble. It's horrible having the added stress of trying to avoid her withering stares and nasty remarks.
