• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Yesterday, I got fed up at the call center I work at. I was ready to break the computer and curse out the supervisors and manager. Thankfully I didn't. I picked up my stuff unplugged everything in a fit of rage and walked out. My coworkers and all the people around me burst into hysterics. They make fun of me behind my back anyway already know.

I emailed my supervisor and told him that i left early and why.

Friends family etc. would want me to go back and 'grow up', but my gut is telling me there's no point. I'll just end up getting in trouble for leaving, get fired, and look dumb. It will just be another bad day and coworkers will laugh all over again. A big part of me tells me this job isn't worth it if it makes me angry like that.

I can't decide whether or not to go back or just move on. I doubt it will ever get better or even tolerable at this job because I really can't stand the people I work with and the way things are done there.

I also am seriously over call center work! It was supposed to be temporary until I can do something else but it's making me feel so crazy. I can't stand constant back to back calls the same thing over and over again with rude or unintelligible people.

I feel so frustrated with myself.

I've Worked in a call center for about 2 years. Seen many people blow up and quit. It is a job that requires a lot of patience and self control and is not for everything. I could have continue it, but i wanted a higher salary and therefore had to work my way up or find a way out. I worked with this goal in mind....and eventually achieved my goal.

Do you have a plan or goal that you are trying to reach? Are you interviewing for other positions?

My son worked in a call center once. He expressed the same type of frustration with it as you expressed here. Maybe you are not cut out for that type of work.My son is much happier since he went into another line of work. Ask Our Heavenly Father to lead you into your next job. My son resigned from his call center job. So as not to get a bad recommendation, I think I would go back for a few days, then resign giving a notice to your employer.

What if you had stepped out of the room and gone to get a drink or something to be away from the place of tension for a bit? Hope he is very understanding.

Not sure if you're exactly getting it. I lost control completely. If I had it in me at the moment maybe I would of, but it took every ounce of self control just to not hit someone or break something.

It took a lot to build up to this the constant snide remarks behind my back and laughing by co-workers. I have hated them all for awhile. Since they've been silent bullying me for a while. It was all the little things they do that led up to my rage yesterday.

And I kind of don't really care if he's not understanding. My point is I hate the job and everyone who works there. I don't view anyone there as a human being just an inconvenience that makes my paycheck more difficult.

What do you imagine doing for ten years straight?

That's a good guide to where your inspiration really is.

Everything else, is just burning through staff - for financial gain.

I write, I paint and draw, and I have taken to computer programming pretty well lately. So going to be doing that. It's just having the money and time to do those things.

You have to get rid of that hate Angel. That will eat on you like a cancer. I fully understand what you are saying here, but you can not give into those feelings of hate, Pray for them, in doing so you will heap burning coals upon their heads. I am praying for peace for you friend.
