I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I am currently experiencing work stress that rates 10/10. I don't want to get into details, and those of you that know details, please do your best to respect my privacy so that my employment history doesn't get into the archives!
Basically, I am trained in the art of self-defense, and I am needing it in the last 2 weeks. People wish to hurt, harm, kill me and I have been assaulted twice.
I feel stuck because h and I just decided to buy a house. We need my income, which is generous. I'm not sure if I could find a replacement job.
T is trying his best to support me, but basically it comes down to "cut your hours" or "quit and find a new/better job"
I meet with my supervisor tomorrow. She is a good listener, and I hope she will support me when I say that this job is making me insane.
I want to go on sick leave. I want to quit. but I know that not being employed is also bad for my mental health. T and I agreed long ago that employment and the preoccupation it brings helps keep my mind out of dark alleys.
I hope I can be strong enough to tell supervisor about my hours. I will use T's image to help me.
