I love my job, absolutely love it. Yesterday I was told I can't do something that was coming up, don't want to say what becuase it would be fairly plain who I am if you know me iyswim.

Anyway I just feel devastated, the decision totally took me by surprise and makes me feel so devalued by my organisation. I feel like I've done something wrong in even wanting this thing but I also feel angry because the decision was taken without even asking me what I intended to get out of it. I also think a person was involved in that decision who is not my line manager and shouldn't have been consulted and that makes me feel bullied tbh.

I've had some breakfast and it's lying in my stomach like a rock. I had to eat something because I couldn't hardly eat anything yesterday. I can't talk about this without crying and I can't imagine how I'm actually going to get in to work and do things feeling so awful. I have to go out in 10 minutes because my babies need to get to school and nursery. I just want to chuck the whole thing and stay at home forever but there are people depending on me so I have to but I don't want to. Can somebody please say something that makes me feel better.

Chin up head high,get your babies in school -go to work and think 'fuck em',listen to whatever they say carefully then go to personell tell them what youve told us and that you feel victimised.

You can do this.

Agree you can do this.

Hard to say without knowing what it is but you might find that its something beyond their contol like budget cuts for example? Rather than anyhing to do with you? IYSWIM

Agree with 'fuck em' mentality. Have you got any nice fighty sort of music you can play really loudly this morning? Never fails to get me out of tearful mode into fighty pissed off mode (which at least is better than crying!) in situations like this.

Thanks.

Budget isn't an issue btw. I would have understood that and never gone for this thing.

Ok - I'm going
