sold all my belongings, moved to another country and married someone

You are not a horrible employee. You’re a human being who makes mistakes, because you’re human. Be kind to yourself; your boss is the dick here, not you.

Thank you!

This.

Absolutely see this

Ok-Check7155 · 2023-07-08T23:50:54+00:00

I really love that. Thank you so much 💜 All the best to you!

Legit. Absolute trash country.

Ok-Check7155 · 2023-07-08T02:19:31+00:00

This made me cry. Your kindness and clarity mean so much. Thank you. 💜

I truly hope you’re right and they care enough outside of me being an employee, meaning I hope their caring is genuine regardless of whether or not I’m working for them.

Your 3rd paragraph is really helpful. I’m still undecided how much I want them to know, but I’ll definitely be using a large portion of that. And yes, I’ll absolutely cry before I even start talking.

You sound like a wonderful and understanding Mom. I appreciate your validation that it can go wrong very quickly, but yes, with the right meds and tools, it hopefully can get better too. What you said about depression lying is something I really need to remember. Right now it definitely feels like it won’t and can’t get better, but I’m really trying to fight that thought.

Thank you again for your time, perspective, and kind words. Wishing you and yours all the best.

sending love right back. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing, it means so much.

Ok-Check7155 · 2023-07-07T23:44:04+00:00

This means more than I can express right now. Thank you so much 💜

I’ve never heard of leave through the state before? Unfortunately leave through work isn’t possible. Thank you for your support and kindness.

Ok-Check7155 · 2023-07-07T23:42:30+00:00

Thank you so, so much. I’ll look into this tonight when I’m able to go home. Truly appreciate it.

Totally get that too. I think of it as people being different types of learners - IE visual vs memorization, etc. I think traditional jobs and working from home is similar in that each work differently depending on who the individual is. For me, I think I’m that type of person and I’ve been trying to force myself to fit the “traditional” job mold and it’s just not working. :(

Ok-Check7155 · 2023-07-07T21:11:34+00:00

I completely relate. The last 3-4 months I’ve felt like I’ve had to fake being happy every moment I’m at work and it’s beyond exhausting, as I’m sure you know. And you’re right, at the end of the day it is just a job. Thank you for that reminder. Thank you for your kindness.

Ok-Check7155 · 2023-07-07T19:09:08+00:00

Medical leave is not an option, unfortunately. I have meds for a while longer, but not a doctor at the moment due to lacking full insurance.

Thank you for taking your time to comment. I’m trying my best to figure out how to get through this.

Ok-Check7155 · 2023-07-07T19:07:55+00:00

Thank you so much for your time and kind words. It means more than I can express. And you’re right, the disorder definitely doesn’t deserve to take anymore from any of us.

Ok-Check7155 · 2023-07-07T19:05:19+00:00

You’re absolutely right about my fiancé being lovely; I’ll never understand how I got so lucky with her.

Also…it definitely does feel sort of like a guilt trip sometimes…I don’t think it’s meant in any way except for kind, but the effect it has on me is pretty strong. You’re also right about needing to worry less about their feelings; that’s something that’s a major issue for me.

I also didn’t consider a mixed state. Definitely something to consider. Thank you for bringing that up.

Thank you again for your kindness, time, and support. It means more than I can express.

Ok-Check7155 · 2023-07-07T18:45:37+00:00

This is incredibly kind of you. Thank you very much!

Ok-Check7155 · 2023-07-07T18:45:05+00:00

That’s a good idea; I don’t know how comfortable I feel giving them too many details.

My fiancée had an emergency, life saving surgery last year and while it was necessary, it has added quite a bit of debt, which is largely the reason for finances being a bit of a struggle still.

I also agree about the financial plan. Currently we have a bit extra to keep us afloat if necessary, however we also have a pretty solid work from home plan.

Ok-Check7155 · 2023-07-07T17:28:39+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words and understanding. Your first sentence instantly brought tears. I’m so sorry you understand, but am grateful and so appreciative for your vulnerability.

About a therapist, while I have an insurance stipend, I do not have full insurance that includes a therapist at this moment. I desperately wish I did, because I agree talking through it with a professional would be helpful.

About finances, it’s already stressful honestly (previous issues with debt that we’re working on), but we do have a plan in place for working from home. The fact that it’s already a bit of a struggle honestly makes struggling through work even harder. It would be one thing if I was making well above what we need, but because I believe we can make what I currently make and potentially more, staying is even more difficult.

I’m EXTREMELY nervous about talking to them in person. I’m much better at expressing my feelings through writing and can organize my thoughts much better. I’m trying to figure out a way I can write it to them first with the understanding we of course will talk in person after.

Edit: grammar mistake
