Work and Mental health: Some dream…

Some dream…

By Anonymous - 21/04/2021 17:00

Today, I'm a full-time Investment Portfolio Analyst at one of the largest groups. It has been my dream job and I worked my ass off. I'm one of the best analysts there and people like me. Also, I haven't slept properly for 3 months, without a single day off. I'm about to get mentally sick. FML

Today, I've been sick for five days and I have two college essays and a exam coming up, along with a few other assignments. I've been working non-stop for five days with less than six hours of sleep per day, and more assignments are flowing in as I am working. FML

Today, I started the internship of my dreams. The company has nothing for me to do, so I sit and stare at the clock. FML

Today, after years of being unable to work because of chronic illness, I finished my second week of a new job. I'm so utterly and completely wiped out, I don't know if I can continue. FML

Today, I’m unemployed with no children and hardly any social life, so you’d think my life was a constant, boring holiday, when in fact I'm so busy every day that I think I might have to designate myself a “day off” just to recover from the stress. FML

Today, my life finally seemed to be getting on track after recovering from major depression, paying off most of my debt, and scoring an amazing job. And then I woke up. FML

I'm totally wired, can't you see?

Today, because of my new job, I'm so tired I can’t think straight anymore. Long hours to make a sterling first impression? Nope. I haven’t even started working yet, I’m just exhausted because it all stresses me to the point I can’t sleep at night. FML

Exploitation

Today, after trying so hard to get myself back on my feet, I had an amazing interview and I was hired on the spot. I was so happy, until I read the position I was given, and it turns out I didn't get full-time, I got barely enough hours to even be part-time. FML

The thing is you have to learn work-life balance. You do need a break from any job for the most part.

take a damn sick day. i am sure you get sick days as part of your benefits. stop thinking the great job is all you have to live for. sorry but you need to learn that a work/life balance is important to your mental and physical health. to all those telling the OP congrats on getting her "dream job" and to work hard, what good is a dream job, if you kill yourself by working so much you can't even enjoy it. this is really an FML warning from the OP that she is burnt out, a little compassion is in order here.
