I'm so sorry you are experiencing so much stress. It is good you are going to see a therapist. Big hugs.

Sounds Horrid! If there is a human resource I'd check with them about the time you spent in meetings, and gas reimbursements. Doesn't sound right. Does this woman have a supervisor, or can she 'listen' without interruptions? I've worked under those conditions at times in retail....getting So Freaked out! She doesn't have the legal right to abuse you verbally. A friend of mine worked in a "hostile work environment" and she walked out one day and went to the dept. of labor, made a complaint...it took a bit of time but she was able to collect unemployment. Best of luck in your job search!!! As for weight...I'm So Bad, candy cookies etc. So when I shop, no chips, no cookies, and I stopped buying ice cream, and buy frozen yogurt now....less calories. For drinks, could you buy some ice tea, crystal light, or sparking flavored water...less sugar. I used to be addicted to coke....someone told me to put something rusty in coke, leave it for a day or two....Rust Was Gone....scary to think of what it does to stomach! Best of luck with your new therapist!! Take care, ML

Hi TC,
Best of luck with the new therapist!

Sounds like it's time to move on and find something better the stress of this job isn't going to be good long term unless there is a way to advance out of this department.

Vegetables and fruit are cheaper and easier on your spirit....

Doesn’t sound like much is going right in your life right now. Headaches, feeling guilty about your eating habits, stressed at intensity of work, putting in unpaid time and life feeling out of control in general.
Have you taken the time to write out what it is that is going right in your life at this time? For example Start with basics-such as food, shelter, running water, parents, a child, etc. Sometimes that is enough to get your perspective changed enough to feel like attempting to make improvements. I am so glad that you are going to start seeing a therapist who can give you encouragement and hope so that you can make successful changes in your life. You aren’t a loser just someone struggling. My prayers go out to you.

Hi. Today I had an interview at a dentist office for a receptionist position. Also, the boss was there but she was very quiet. I sad something to my coworker and his response was "enjoy it while it lasts" ni we don't get OT. No matter what. I didn't have to drive my own vehicle so that part wasn't a worry. It's just the fact that I had to get to the office at 7 am, etc and not get paid for it. I guess I am not taking her crap person ally because that is just how it is. It isn't right though. I guess I am just so grateful to have a job that I try to let it roll off. I chill out and don't do crap when she is not there. She works remotely so isn't IN the office osteoporosis if the time (thank the Lord above) when she is there, it is chaos.

I hope the dentist office will work out....good for you starting to see a therapist....it may help you a great deal....big hug

TC,
I really hope the dental office works out for you as well if you can learn a few things it will be a new career and steady employment. I worked in a dental office for many years and loved it....I hope it leads to stable employment...

I also hope the dentist office works out. It sounds like your current job is way too stressful and you would probably do better to leave it. I hope you find some stable employment either way and can start feeling better about yourself. I totally understand eating the junk food. I also emotional eat. I have been drinking coffee the last couple of weeks and it fills my tummy so I don't need to eat as much and water is awesome for that as well. Best of luck and hugs!!

I feel so happy for you, and proud of you for getting yourself into an interview for a new Job! If you get it, Super, if not, You are making a positive difference in your life! So hoping your new therapist will be all you need to find a new road to travel with less bumps! Take care, ML
