Stressful Job
I did not go to work today or last Friday. I was at my point of exhaustion and fatigue: mentally, emotionally & physically. I told my supervisor and the big boss. There's no way I could have kept going. So, I took a mental health break. I think I'll go back tomorrow as it shouldn't be as busy. But my psychologist said that I need to ask for a plan for January so I'm not bombarded with work and that I should start looking for other jobs. The good thing in all of this is that my psychologist said that I have been doing well with the borderline personality stuff. He said that the real factor is not my health but the situation that I'm in. Al said he's really proud of me for standing up for myself. The place where I work has for the 3rd time in my career there asked me to do more than one job for an extended period of time...I just can't do anymore. So, I'm not going to blame myself or say I'm weak...rather it is the situation I've been placed in that is unfair. I can't do both my job and some of my supervisor's job and watch while our whole office struggles to breathe because of so many employees out of the office. Anyway, one more week before Christmas holidays and I'm feeling good about myself and life.

I'm about to break for the christmas-new year holidays myself. I hope that you find time to relax during your time away from work and reflect on how it has been affecting you.
If it is too stressful, then I do hope you will find courage and hope in finding some other job. I wish you every success in that.
Have a safe and happy vacation!!
