Why do you feel embarrassed about the job you do?
Just because others have left to do other things why do you think that makes you a failure? You're trying to battle chronic illness whilst also working. That makes you definitely not a failure if you ask me.
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
Ive always felt embarrassed about the job, parents were never happy with me working there.Originally Posted by Suzi
I'm not sure I think it sets me off thinking I'm a failure, maybe it's me feeling trapped there.
Had a bad night trying to sleep waking up thinking and panicking about work again and going over the conversation I had with my friend. Its affected my mood alot feeling really low and down.
Was supposed to be going to meet my old boss today with him as we did a collection but I just don't feel up to it now.
I haven’t been able to work for 15 years because of my mental health. I understand how you feel, I felt the same for a long time. But I’ve come to realise that my life is more than just a job, and that I am now able to give my energy to what matters in my life. You are working, and you’re also working in a way that helps you deal with your mental health and therefore will mean you too can give your energy to what is really important in your life, once you are stable - and you WILL be stable.

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
