Why do I feel like I’m doing something wrong when I decline to work

@Jeephikelove 🤗🥰

@Jeephikelove 😘

@Oster1 it IS so hard to say no though, because then you know they’re short staffed and someone suffers. ☹️

@MrAboo thank you for saying this

I do work very hard, and I take a lot of pride in my work. I think this is also a contributor to why I feel so much guilt. my company places a lot of expectations on me, because I am one of the “main people” they utilize because I am very skilled in all areas where some of my coworkers have specializations

I love going outside I went for a nice stroll down the park and went and saw the lake today

Sometimes these things are very therapeutic for our overworked brains

@DeluxedEdition Aim to take more strolls for your peace of mind.

@WaryWitchWandering yes this is the message I genuinely needed to hear

My mind needs a break it’s not even a physical thing at this point

@DeluxedEdition let go of the guilt ❤️

@Rose0415 they work us to death and then have the audacity to cut our pay😪

@DeluxedEdition do me a favor ok?

@JesseInTX sure 🙂

@DeluxedEdition don’t ever forget that. You are #1. Family, friends, job etc. you can organize their place from #2 down the line. None of those can be taken care of though if you don’t take care of #1 🤗

@Wyocowboy when I worked at my old job sometimes when I would get burnt out like this I would take two weeks off sometimes even a month

I don’t really get that same kind of freedom with this job that I have now. I really think it would be in my best interest to get another job so that I can takeoff more time for myself like this when I need it

I get so burnt out I have kids, one is autistic on top of being a FT caretaker. I spread myself too thin sometimes

@DeluxedEdition Please do what is best for you, your kids and your mental health. ❤️

@popmol I swear I don’t understand why I put these unrealistic expectations on myself

@DeluxedEdition well in american and asian culture its work work work, no break. its cultured in.

in some jobs specifically too!
just think about it logically: more rest, means more peace of mind and health, making more quality works!

maybe 🤭@SW-User
