Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I went to IOP group this morning and the leader, whom I like very much, instead of staying work out the job she told me to QUIT! So I went back to the office and the tension was in the air. The boss wasnt back from his vacation yet, and they had received and opened the letter I sent the boss. I did not know it but he showed up, and hid upstairs while I went to the operations manager to review something I had apparently messed up. I finished cleaning out my desk, I did not have a lot there anyway, all I was waiting on was to see the big boss and have it out. He sneaked up behind me and told me to take a week off to see if I wanted to keep the job. That the environment wasnt going to change and I had to live by his rules. I tried to interrupt saying that I didnt want to stay, he said fine get my stuff, and I said I wouldnt work in a hostile work environment, he then said to leave that maybe someone else would accept me. I said thank you, laid my papers down, and walked out the back door!
And you know what? I FEEL GREAT. My biggest stressor went down the river of life with out and Ill never see it AGAIN!!

my hubby is in bout the same boat. hes just waiting till next yr. I wish he could do it now but we have 2 girls at home still.
I commend you on what u did
Money is kinda tight at the moment, but I finally get to be a stay-at-home Mom after 13yrs of being in the Military and being sent here there and everywhere but where my daughter needed me.
Good on you for not putting up with the BS and getting out of a miserable environment
Not everyone can just walk away. It takes a very strong person to be able to find that inner strength and make that kind of decision.
I walked away a few years ago.. great career, great money. But, I knew I had to be in a better environment for my own sanity, my own mental health. I needed to surround myself with better people, with who had ethics and morals.
I am so glad that you feel great!
So good.
If only my therapists had said to leave three months ago. I feel so darn happy. Please, if any one else is being absued by your boss take a stand. I tried talking face to face with him, then I sent him a letter which is why he fired me. But I have a clear mind and soul.
