Having a super hard time mentally lately (since forever?), and kinda just need to let y'all know.

Having a super hard time mentally lately (since forever?), and kinda just need to let y'all know.

My boss has never, in a year and a half, given me a single piece of good feedback. Every single thing she says is a critique.

I double the quota of required work a day, and do upper level management work without the pay. I consistently get call audits with the words "no notes" and "excellent" from quality. I run meetings. I am consistently on time, and bring 12 years of experience to bear in my position.

I have no gaps in time when I am not working, and this was also proven yet again, in my audit this week. Even though the goal per day is 65 calls/verifications, and I did 125 yesterday, she hit me up acting like I just..suck. In every way.

Looking at indeed and craigslist, it has hit me just how few marketable CERTIFICATIONS and DEGREES I have..and just how little my body can do what it used to when I was younger (like, standing for a whole shift, running around, picking things up repetitively).

I fear that she is trying to build a case against me, and I have done nothing against this woman. I am, of course, documenting documenting, documenting..but I am so concerned. I believe she was pivotal in the firing of my old boss, who cared about me and attempted to brighten my days.

He said that, once he gets a new job, he would love to work with me again. I just feel so lost and alone. I have paid my house down nearly 22 years in 6, but even owing 108k more feels daunting. I am not getting OT like I used to, and even making decent money, I am living paycheck to paycheck due to home and vehicle maintenance.

I'm starting to wish I had instead invested money in plastic surgeries and gone the "get a man" route. Just really suffering quietly, like I believe so many Americans are. And this is WITH a decent job, with benefits.

If I had kids during this time, I just have no idea what I would do!! Trump is doing all in his power to criminalize homelessness, poverty, even sugary drinks on SNAP.

The daily cruelty is almost more than I can bear. And not having a family to love and care for me is a never ending throb of "you're not good enough/no one loves you/you are an imposter/look how ugly you are that everyone hates you"....

I am just praying and crying my way through life, trying to claw myself toward some semblance of stability....The fact that others have it so much worse completely rends my heart.

If I didn't have my best friend here, God knows what I would do. I so badly want to volunteer and make my life MEAN something, but it takes nearly everything I have keeping myself afloat. Sucks, man. This life is not at all what they sold me as a kid.

oh dear ... looks like someone needs a hug 🤗 and perhaps some 🍨 ice cream? 😊

It's ok to feel scared, alone and fearful. It's ok to vent and let it out. I hear you. I have been where you are and I am sure I will again. We are dealing with scary times. It is effecting all of us (with a soul).

I find that focusing on one thing at a time is best. I'm glad to hear you are on Indeed and looking for other employment. I am really glad you are documenting everything. Remember, she cannot fire you without just reason (there are laws to protect you). Keep looking and searching for a better opportunity. As for having children. Many women find alternative ways to have young people in their lives. I have a friend who is a Big Sister to two young women. Imagine the difference you could make to someone else's life with your life experience. There are so many options out there .. you just have to think outside the box 😊

I volunteer at a food bank once a week. I also volunteer at a hospital holding NICCU babies while their parents take a minute for themselves.

Hope this helps, lovey ❤
