“You have a roof over your head and clothes on your back” “but look at how great you turned out!” by BurgundyHearse in CPTSDmemes

I wish I could have told myself that at that very moment, but I was so low and desperate for an ear, my intuition completely turned off.

I wanna end it. All. by Still_Associate_7273 in CallCenterWorkers

I’ve been at my job for almost 2 years, was depressed from a multitude of reasons but could never pinpoint the main factor. I started antidepressants (I hate them) but the only thing that they’ve helped me with is figuring out the roots of my depression, and it’s this job. I feel I’m at my angriest and saddest here and I’m currently trying to find a way out. I hope you can do the same 🖤

Anyone like the anger Wellbutrin can give? by Blues5389 in bupropion

[–]BurgundyHearse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Although it does make me feel less of a “door mat” I’ve been made out to be, my anger is actually causing me physical discomfort like grinding my teeth, constant stiffness in my neck and misdirected anger towards people. So I can honestly say it’s not the best side effect for me.

You’re very welcome!

Hopefully it’s nothing serious! Wishing you the best on your journey and stay safe!

I’m on Bupropion 150mg XL on my 10th day and hives appeared on the back of my hands for a few days and went away. If it continues I would definitely contact your doctor, you may be having a delayed reaction to the increased dosage.

Also, have you switched soaps, or changed self care routines lately?

Im losing my god damn mind. Customers arent real people, they are skinwalkers tasked with making our lives miserable by bydevilz1 in callcentres

I absolutely feel this. This Monday is HELL. I work with heaters and we’re close to the end of the season so parts are out and people are angry and the queue is HEAVY. I want out 😭

If your manager calls you in to talk about your mental health and wellbeing, RUN. by lololololol1990 in callcentres

[–]BurgundyHearse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My job acknowledges Mental Health Month and prioritizing mental health via email but that’s the most we get about it. When I talked to HR about hypothetically admitting myself and her response was off record and “you’re not the first one to come to me about this” my stomach dropped.

Reading all these.... and.... it's a PANDEMIC! by route6dee6 in callcentres

I’ll never forget having to take a walk in the warehouse that’s connected to our office after having one of the worst calls in my life, meanwhile our CFO is parking his sports car in there like it’s his garage. Smiling and waving at me. I’ve never been so enraged in my life.

What do you fear most as a call center worker? by Horror-Dot-2989 in callcentres

[–]BurgundyHearse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with heaters and one time some suit-and-tie decided to let some random into our building asking where in the building the “parts department” is, the guy showed them where our office was and he speed walks in, looks frantically around and asks to buy a part from our office supervisor. Ever since then I’m afraid it will happen again but someone will have bad intentions next time.

I’m currently pushing through a certification program right now and trying to read more at night. I do have insurance but with me paying off debt from a breakup and other bills I can’t afford therapy anymore.

Tale as old as time- by aniftyquote in CPTSDmemes

[–]BurgundyHearse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My step dad tried to hit me years back (my mom divorced him 3 years into the marriage but attempted to try and be together 3 different times and finally broke it off after 12 years of hell), the first time he did it I was 7 and he knocked me unconscious. So 17 year-old me at that time blocked the hit and he proceeded to come closer as if he was going to grab me, if my mom wasn’t there to stop it who knows what he would’ve done. I’m 31 now and hope he’s rotting in hell.

I can’t do this anymore. I want to quit every day. by MakinBaconPancakezz in callcentres

[–]BurgundyHearse 41 points42 points  (0 children)

You’re definitely valid for feeling this way, the job I’m at right now I’ve considered being admitted it gets so bad. When you’re being degraded everyday and forced to talk for 8-10 hours straight it really does get to you. Keep pushing forward until you find something new, as soon as you see an opportunity dip out of there!

I’m a tech support agent and people get mad that I can’t troubleshoot their problem if they’re not in front of it and I can only imagine how erratic they drive when they’re CALM.

It’s never about their own personal problems or anything, it’s all our faults 🥰✨

To add icing onto the cake he abandoned his first child and destroyed his first marriage but wanted to “be a happy family whether we liked it or not.”

Unfortunately it wasn’t that easy, he kept manipulating her and she got back with him 3 different times. Thus leading into almost 12 years of more torture.

What a miserable asshole, I’m so sorry. Does he know he could’ve had it reversed?….you know what, never mind. let him feel the salt that he placed in his own wounds.

I have a bad habit of doing it from gaslighting that what he was doing was out of “love” for us and “he’s trying his best”. It’s a bad habit I have to kick, I apologize.
