Lost my job due to disability leave

MartianGirl347 September 19th, 2023

I am devastated… did I hate the job? Yes. My boss was a bully to me, and it’s what pushed me to be partially hospitalized (I’m currently in an Intensive Outpatient Program to help me with my mental health)… but I still feel like such a worthless failure. I still feel like there is something wrong with me. I’ve been looking for a new job for so long and haven’t gotten past the interview stage (I am well-aware that I’m awkward). I feel like I can’t do anything right. I’m extremely depressed about this and finding it extremely hard to find any positives. I don’t know. Everything feels wrong.

Well… that didn’t take long! Just got another job offer! I’m still a little depressed because I still feel like I failed, but I’m climbing out of this hole 🙂

i understand feeling this way. I am in IOP right now as well. I’m in my week 6 of 8. I had to take medical leave from my job and not looking forward or hopeful about going back , but I have to for the support of my family. Iop has helped a lot with the tools and skills to cope and I hope it helps you too- I am hopeful that it will. Sharing really helps a lot. Congrats on the job offer I know that is a big boost.

@Trosclair03

Thank you 🙂 I’m glad IOP is helping you. It definitely helped me too. I hope all goes well for you! Getting back to the regular schedule is definitely a big transition, but it sounds like you have a family that will support you wherever they can to make it a little less rocky 😊
