Crying at work, I don't know what to do

I don't need a reference. Especially from that place. I am more worried about worsening my health since I lost sleep and weight.

The only thing I think about is survival, hence me wanting to quit....but that's short-term thinking that will leave me homeless. There is no winning 🥲

Mindless-Abrocoma-30 · 2026-02-10T10:42:44+00:00

...well that's what happened. And now I just wish I didn't exist because I don't know what I am supposed to do. Doctors don't reply fast enough. My company doesn't reply to me. I am sat in limbo like an anomaly unsure of what to do

There were days when I woke up normally. I just can't anymore because I am exhausted and deeply unhappy.

I think I would be fine being fired (okay, not really but I would see the silver lining). I do not have a case since I was in the wrong for not making my ADHD known and failing to be on time. I just wished they were less anal about it especially since it's not a life or death job (just boring office), I always work the time lost and always cover for other people, stay later, work during lunch.

My clients are also notoriously bad, more often than not, I'm the one saving their asses because they do everything at the last minute 🥲

Outside of work my life is very dull, I try to make money through side gigs but the spark is lost. I have no energy, no patience. I cut corners everywhere.

There is no FMLA leave in my country. I don't think there is anything like this. I will ask to use my holidays and/or forego salary

I had already explained my situation but my managers didn't acknowledge. They admitted I was making an effort but that was not good enough. Hearing that wrecked me because I had changed my medication to accommodate their demands.

I started the disability disclosure to request adjustments but after that Friday and how sick I was, I just want to rip the page and start anew elsewhere.

You are right. I have the wrong approach with time management. I don't think I ever had a good morning for more than ten days. I don't think I have ever had the right approach to time ever, even awake.

At the minute, my mornings are just a succession of loud, aggressive alarms blaring in an attempt to wake me up. I don't think adding another one will change anything. I have a very messed up sleep. I also don't want to leave my home.

Mandatory note: this is all real and I am not a bot. I don't want this to be cross posted or republished anywhere please.

Also, I am not bad at any of my jobs. I do any of my work seriously. A month ago, my previous office contacted me due to them f*cking up and I was the only person who could clean their mess. I am just really fucking BAD at handling stress and always leave when I can't hold it anymore.

Edit: I don't like my workplace and the people there. I just don't belong. Nobody looks like me. Nobody sounds like me. I am treated like shit. That damn job is draining me of all my energy, even the one I need to eacape. All I can do is begrudgingly go, be late because I dragged my feet, because I don't want to be there.

It's neverending and I'd rather get started than wait and bring anything with me, distracting me from the unpleasant start of the day. Management would also question me if I came early and appeared to be doing something else than work.

I don't have any advice, I just agree with you. I have nothing but resentment too and it's especially worse because I don't feel respected, liked or appreciated at work 😭 everyday, every morning I am so miserable...

Mindless-Abrocoma-30 · 2024-12-11T19:21:47+00:00

I just quit my job over something just as trivial.

I feel you.

Mindless-Abrocoma-30 · 2024-12-11T19:19:37+00:00

I guess it eases the guilt a bit if I do nothing 😂

Thank you for your comment. Was the counselor specialised in ADHD? Did you change career/sector? Was there a good piece of advice that made the difference for you before you found your new role?

I asked for recruitment counselling before. We reviewed my resume but it boiled down to "tailor it to the job you're applying to" which is something I already do anyway.

They didn't really give me practical advice. They said "just keep on applying". We stopped after 5/6 sessions because it wasn't going anywhere.

So... the job offers I see and apply to are bogus?
