Very angry

TC40
TC40

I am grateful to have a job first and foremost. However, I am only making minimum wage, and I am being treated like total s***. The place is totally unorganized, which throws me off my work, and then I am the one who looks like the stupid piece of s***. I don't even get to take a lunch. Today, I forgot to bring something to eat at my desk. My blood sugar was about to start getting low because of the lack of food. I emailed both of my bosses because they were in a closed-door meeting. Then I left. I was gone about 20 minutes. When I came back. One of the managers who really gets on me about stupid s***, had sent me an email back like 20 seconds after I emailed her to tell me I had to wait until they were done with their meeting, which didn't even get done until after 2. I am treated like I am retarded or slow or something. I am working in a very toxic environment, and I feel trapped once again. I am so angry right now that I would like to punch a hole through a wall. I am just feeling very very upset. Also my shoulder has been bothering me very badly. I have been in a lot of pain for about 3 or 4 months. I was supposed to have an MRI done, and my insurance said no. And my doctor will not prescribed any pain meds. So, I guess I will have to take massive amount of Tylenol. Bye bye liver. My doctor had wanted me to have an MRI due to my history of cancer. So oh well. I don't care if I die anyway. I am just in a bad place right now I'm feeling very upset and hopeless. I don't expect anybody to fix my problems. I just need to vent. My mother and my sister have already told me they don't want to hear my problems, yet I get to hear all of theirs. So I'm stuck. It will be bedtime soon, and this stupid day will be over. Thank you for listening and for your time

Everyone need to vent once in awhile. Thats what we are here for. Can you be looking for a better job while still keeping the one you have? A toxic work place is not a good fit for us. Isn't it the law that every work place has to give you a break every so many hours? Hope you get some restful sleep tonight. Take care of your self.

You have to get proof of their denying you food when your blood sugar is low...it is against the law. Take your glucose level...it has to show a time, date and "before eating." Then, emailing is best because you can make copies; it on your phone, you have it there "forever." Then, they reply, blahblahblah....just like the sentence before this one. If they leave verbal messages...ditto. If they talk to you in person make sure you say something like, excuse for one moment please, and then turn on "record" on your phone...again...it's there "forever." If the place is environmentally toxic, report them...you can do it anonymously.
You've every right to feel angry. Don't show it or they'll fire you right on the spot. Is that legal? I don't know. Excedrin, Extra Strength, does help with pain. Of course it's not at prescription %. I had to take 'something' before I had pain medicine prescribed by my doctor. It really did help me. I don't know if it will work for you. Everyone is different. Taking "massive" amounts of anything is bad for you.
I'm trying to help and support you. If I shouldn't have replied, I'm sorry. Hope you feel better.

you certainly don't have much luck in the work department - are you in an area where all the businesses are that bad?

You need a better job. It's illegal if you're there over 6 hours and they don't give you a lunch break. Depending on the laws in your state, and any contracts you signed, they might be breaking the law by telling you not to leave for any meal break. If they only told you verbally and it's not in an employee handbook or on a contract you signed, you've may have a great lawsuit here. Look through your information first, including emails and messages and other documented forms of communication then maybe see a lawyer. Most consultations are free

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
