Depression Anyone else struggling today?

That's ridiculous that they yelled at you at work. Management at my job was horrible, but I'm retired now thank goodness. It was one bad manager after another and always about their ego.

But I'm a nurse and I enjoyed the patients and my co-workers. I do miss them. Hopefully you will find something about your job you like. Give it time.

I literally asked one manager a question because I was asked to work this weekend, but I haven’t been cleared by the state to do the things they wanted me to do yet so I wanted to clarify that. I got a call from HR and she was pissed that I didn’t call and ask her, and basically “threw the other employee under the bus” but I wasn’t trying to do that AT ALL, I just wasn’t sure.

That's so ridiculous. You just asked a question. What does it matter who you ask? Sometimes the people in HR can have the biggest egos of all. Amazing how a small amount of power can go to someone's head.

Try not to take it personally though. When my feelings are hurt sometimes I can take a step back and realize they aren't thinking of me at all . . . They are thinking of themselves, as always.

Thank you, it definitely helps. I was reamed for 10 minutes. It’s like… I didn’t mean anything by it? I just started about 2 weeks ago. I’m still new. But I’m also still so fragile mentally right now, everything kinda stings. My anxiety and depression are so insane… and I can’t connect with a provider still. Only have a psychiatrist.

They should not be treating their new employees like that. This lady from HR doesn't sound very nice.

I never liked starting a new job because I always felt stupid at first. And it's awkward for me until I get into a routine and get to know some people. Hopefully things will improve in a couple weeks.

Try to not have negative self talk right now. You sound like a good person who has a lot to offer. Be kind to yourself because you deserve it.

Don't worry, you did the right thing. But as saying goes: No good deed goes unpunished. However, do what I do or use to do, make more friends than enemies.
If they get mad, try to explain yourself in a strong but non aggressive manner. Explain you don't break the law or rules.
Stand your ground but don't be confrontational but assertive, it will throw them off if they are bully type and you are strong but not mean or weak, just mildly assertive and have principles.

It really sucked, it was a 10 minute phone call of her reaming me for it, and I was trying really hard to just explain myself. I felt like an idiot and a jerk, and I was trying really hard not to burst into tears. I just come there to do a job and help people, ya know? That's all I've ever really cared about.
