Lost

I'm not sure how much I can take, I'm lost and alone. I worked so hard, loved my job, dedicated my life to it, I lost my job. I did so much, cared so much, and it's never enough because of a bully and someone else's manipulative ways. I worked 70hrs a week, work was my safe place, my crutch, even the mental health workers agreed I should continue to work as it kept me safe. Now, I'm lost, I feel so lonely and I don't know what to do. I don't think I can do this anymore.

Hello mjay13
Firstly you have made the right move you have spoken out how you feel.
YOU are not alone lots of friends on here experience the same problem as your self.
YOU must be strong and always remember you are not alone, keep looking for work don't give up you know you can do this and you are not alone. Keep smiling.

Thank you for sharing. You are more important then any job. That job could have just prepared you for a better future job. Any setback is disappointing, but not if we don't look at it as a setback, but training for a better new job. You have experience, which is invaluable for any future employer. Never shame in seeking out help from a Doctor, Counselor, or Therapist. Your future better job needs you around to be able to do it. Thank you. God Bless.

Your journal certainly sounds like what I went through, lots of bullying at work and it was my safe haven too. Eventually I just didn't show up at work one day, and never went back. I was at rock bottom because of that job. Do not worry too much---yes it's a setback, but you will find something much better. Don't get depressed over it---that job and the bullies weren't worth the time of day. They weren't nice people. I wish you well, write whenever you want, we're here for you!

Thank you all, my depression and mental health has been awful lately and I couldn’t be more sure they used my vulnerability.
I just dedicated my whole life and feel so alone and confused.

I too remember back when I was feeling so lost, depressed, vulnerable and lonely. Fortunately someone pointed me in the right direction when I didn't know where else to turn. I was lead up a path were I was finally able to truly discover myself and overcome all of these negative things that I had been suffering from. I was first given this book "Melchizedek's Pearls of Love: The mystery teachings of Jesus". It helped me find the will to keep going and much more. If you are interested I can give it to you so you can download it and read it. It has done so much for me that I feel obligated to tell others about it. Just let me know!
