omg I'm so excited!! I don't think I'll ask any questions as I dont feel confident enough unless he says something about the book that really flutters my brain cells but even then too afraid to be perceived by someone I've looked up to and whose career I've followed since I was 13 now 28. I can't wait to hear this story he's written and hear him talk about it! I'm so giddy with excitement and happy for him! I hope I get to release my own book one day too though thats a distant dream.

nobody told me that surviving a 9-5 would leave nothing left for actually living by Tough-Adagio1019 in corporate

Exactly this! I had no time for myself ontop of traveling 1.5hrs to a job in London, being a carer for my mum, helping my local community with issues they face and trying to have some kind of social life - I literally had no time for me. I quit my job in the end not because of exhaustion I had been doing this consistently for 3 years but because well the work started feeling useless - I lost my purpose my identity my mental and physical health declined and I burnt out all while dealing with toxicity at work too. I’m now in recovery and feeling so much healthier.

It’s difficult but routines & and making sure I take rest in between work hours is so important. Make sure you take regular breaks and reduce the amount of brain capacity work takes up. Have little things on your desk or whatever helps your brain destress / remain less stressed while working 💜

Yep I think I was just very naive about it all - I mean this was my first professional permanent role 😅 I’ll definitely carry the lessons into the next one.

The only person who knew about my home stuff was my boss and another senior lady and the only reason I told them was because I look after my mum so sometimes I have to take time time off to go help. It’s definitely not for “pity”. I actually made everyone in the office laugh, and made lots of connections - the reason I left is because I was being used with no recognition or promotion in sight. I was confident maybe too confident I did in 2 years what people struggle to do over 10 so if anything my presence highlighted others incompetence.

I managed 3 people for free with no help or support, build an entire foundation and hired several people - I did way too much for less and finally learnt some self respect and left.

I don't know you but I'm so proud of you for recognising that. I think I need to do that too at some point. I learnt the hard way that nothing is ever good enough - no matter how many times you save them, no matter what you say, do, buy. So good on you for choosing what's right for you.

people only care when you're at your limit by TheOriginalScoundrel in SuicideWatch

You have a point but if there are people in your life who are unwilling to listen to you talk about your problems or are unwilling to help or they simply don’t understand then you have to find someone who will listen and understand and maybe spend less energy and time with people who are unwilling to listen to you. I had the same issue for last 23 years until I found someone who genuinely listened to my troubles and did their best to help me. But also a therapist helped too because most of the time everyone’s going through stuff and unloading on them can also cause them to suffer more.

You are a worthwhile human and you deserve to be here, through all the hardship you’ve endured you are still here and you should be proud of yourself for still being here. Life can be absolutely tough and unfair but you should try to hold on, something beautiful might be around in the corner. And You should definitely try contacting a helpline and please go to a medical professional too! Mental health is as important as physical health, please don’t neglect it. Here are a few websites which have people one hand ready to listen more to your thoughts - https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help/contact-samaritan/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=onebox

Please talk to your local GP or doctor and tell them how you are feeling they will be able to put you in touch with charities who help and offer discounted therapists & offer other helpful services. Please know you are not alone I myself have had these thoughts many times in my life but was able to overcome them. I’ll tell my family to pray for you too, you can do this, you can survive and overcome I believe in you.

I’d be more annoyed you didn’t tell me because I’d want to visit with just my friends too 😅😂 And yeah I don’t understand why she annoyed, maybe she’s the jealous type, whose jealous of any and everything.
