• 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.

Dear brother I know how you feel somewhat here is why:
Hi there, I am sad to say, but I just cant take the new girl that I work with (we both started the same day) Anyway, I just cant stay at this job, I am too stressed, I feel sick when she is around and that is not all, I shake, my heart races and I get this nasty head ache. I have tried everything to get over this but I am afraid that nothing is gonna work at this time. I did talk to my therapist about this and she said that I should quit cause the "abuse" that this woman is doing to me is bringing up so much icky stuff from my past. This woman is litterally going out of her way to make people hate me, NO LIE! SHe is also trying her best to take my job away by "one upping me". HOW by out doing me and making sure that she takes away my duties and then complains that I am just sitting there and good people I ASSURE you that I am not, I love work I just cant deal with people like this \woman, whom btw says that "happy people" make her sick to her stomach. And I am happy cause of CHrist!!!!! My therapist said LEAVE this job, AGAIN I am gonna have to go through that stress...GOSH I just want a normal life like I had when I had my old job (the boss retired that one).
Thanks for listening! God bless you!:hug:

I did allot of job jumping before i started where i am now. my record was 1 month. my job now i have had for almost a year. The biggest difference is i now work with people i like to hang out with, they still get on my nerves sometimes and there are days i just wont go cause i would quit if i did but i love my job way too much. Another thing you may want to do is look for a job that isnt so "structured", that was the 2nd problem i had, when i was growing up my grandparents both had jobs where they came and went as they wanted so when i started a 9 - 5 it just didnt feel right if that makes sense, at my job now i pretty much work when i want to, we have projects instead of set hours and it isnt nearly as bad.
Hope this helps.

i think that you really need to deal with all the areas of fear and threat that your mind has created based on all your life experiences(including any health issues that you might have)(of course this is easier said than done and might take time to de-sensitize from), and in the mean time try to find a job and perhaps even the right job atmosphere where you would feel safe to work, meaning where you can really be yourself without pressuring yourself)(Of course be in prayer about all of this) and also be honest about your limitations and don't take more than you can handle both physiclly and mentally. God will show you the things that need to be done in order to bring about change(perhaps slowly even in the beginning). Also accept who you are and don't expect more from yourself than you are, but do talk to others and ask questions, follow your sanctified heart and seek The Lord's guidance in all of this. God be with you.
