Anyone else just flat out hate their job, but haven’t found another place to work yet?? How are you coping? Cause my mental health due to things going on in my personal life is already a lot to handle. Having to show up at a job 8 hours a day that makes me absolutely miserable is borderline unbearable at this point. How can I somehow not feel immediately depressed when I walk into this building? I’m so bored my mind just overthinks the whole time I’m here…

Anytime my friend, I’ve been there. Start taking small steps towards goals to get out of your current working environment. I hope you had a good rest of your day yesterday and did something nice for yourself. ❤️

I can definitely relate to your situation. Currently in the same position you are. I have been taking everything negative and finding the positive and taking 10 sec. To reflect my energy to that positive thing and being grateful. It has been very hard. I hope that helps a little.

I definitely need to learn to refocus on the positive so I appreciate that!!

Perhaps it’s time to reassess and rebalance. What would you ideally like to be doing? It is really hard to find work when you are in that place of hating what you do. There are also shifts that you can make in your mindset to help you feel less depressed while you are still working at this job. Think of it as a stepping stone that pays your bills while you figure out what you want to transition to. Then start to think about what really interests you that would be fulfilling and give you joy. Get some clarity around that and then you start to set goals and set up a plan . I get it , it’s really hard to move forward when you feel that you have hit a dead end. Remember, there are no dead ends even if it feels that way right now. It’s just your heart telling you it’s time to make a change. Get really clear on what that change is and you will begin to see opportunities instead of dead ends
Good luck!!!! You can do it!

I really appreciate your words and taking the time to respond! 💕 figuring out what I would ideally like to be doing right now is actually where I get so stuck. Because money is my biggest stressor and I’m underpaid. So right now I’m looking for a job that pays more but is also out of Customer Service cause I’m not built for this anymore. It’s mind numbing, under appreciated work dealing with people who are allowed to be disrespectful where I have to remain respectful and I just can’t anymore lol definitely trying to view this job as a means to an end FOR SURE. And also definitely trying to focus on what I WANT to do that would make me feel fulfilled and happier 🙏🏼

If your company has EAP you can get brief counseling or other kind of assistance. Hope you'll have better situations soon 🙏

Therapy is the only thing keeping me going these days. Well that and my super supportive boyfriend and cutie little dog! Haha trying to remember what I have to be thankful for when everything during my work day makes me miserable.

Yes have definitely been there. Esp when I feel like I could be doing bigger and better things. How are you managing?

Still here. Still hate it just as much, if not more. I requested to WFH 2 days a week and it was approved. I claimed it was cause gas is so expensive and I live 30 minutes away, but in reality I just needed the mental break from being around all the toxic energy. It definitely is helping! But I’m definitely still looking almost every day, even if it’s just for a few minutes, to see what other jobs are out there.

My psychiatrist today revealed to me that I may have ADHD, still a hypothesis that he is still exploring but from my personal experiences and discussions with therapist, it seems likely.

One example of personal experience is my ongoing prep for case studies as I'm interviewing with a number of firms. I do struggle to keep focus and generally take a bit longer to finish them, specifically the structuring of the case. Does anybody else feel the same way and any recommendations to overcome this?

I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. I definitely fit some of the characteristics that go unnoticed in females. The good news is if i do have ADHD, it makes me quite good at my job as I’m very flexible and can provide positive energy to my patients. Anyway, my boss has told me I have ADHD multiple times. It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?
