AIBU to think my parents over-reacted?

[NerdyFace]

Hello!

I come to the end of a four month job tommorrow and to be honest, I have hated every single second of being their I have gained weight, been bullied by someone senior and according to some developed some form of depression.

While at my parent's the other night I made some comment about how everyday since I started there that on the drive in I secretly hope that someone will crash into me or force me off the road so my legs break and I am unable to go back to the fucking place!

They laugh, evening carries on as normal have my wine and drive myself home. I wake up this morning with FOURTY NINE missed calls on my phone and the same amount of messages, tis my mother checking up on me too make sure I don't do anything "Selfish and Stupid" they have also booked me into see a therapist...

Don't get me wrong, I utterly LOATHE this job and every single person in it and around me every single day. However, I quite enjoy being alive so wouldn't actually do something like killing myself I don't think!!

Not entirely sure if this is an AIBU...Just needed to talk about it really..

Well I'd be worried about you too.

Not sure AIBU a good place for this though

Hope your last day goes fast and that you then have a great weekend as it sound like you have been miserable.

Your parents have overeacted a bit, BUT i think this is one of those situations where you cant blame them. They obviously had a minute of panic for some reason and would never forgive themselves if something did happen to you. They probably paniced more when they couldnt get hold of you and it spiraled out of control.

Just phone them and put their minds at rest.

Maybe your parents laughed to ease the tension? Cant be a nice thing for any parent to hear - their son/daughter wishing someone would crash into their car!

THey are probably worried sick and to be fair - i could see where they are coming from with the "selfish and stupid" remarks. They probably for one split second realised you're far more upset than they originally thought.

If someone was at my house and said things like that, and if I'd already been worried about them and thought they were depressed to some level - I would be phoning them later to make sure they were ok. To have no answer on the phone would make me worry more so I would try again.

It sounds like one of those in your head thoughts that you voiced out loud. If it is out of character for you to say such things I think your parents concern is justified.

The therapist could be a good thing if you need to put this job behind you and prepare to have enthusiasm for the next one.

Have you called your mum to say you like being alive, to reassure her?

I don't think the thought is that unusual but wonder if their are underlying issues that lead to you feeling bullied and depressed beyond just this job?

I would be worried about you also. Those are not normal thoughts. And I've had them. And I was depressed.

I think they over reacted. 49 messages in one day?

Glad your misery causing job is over!

They laughed because they hoped you were joking. Now they realise that you might not have been. .

Take help when it is offered by those who love you.

I called my Mum, just to let her know i'm allright.
Told her I hadn't answered due to my Setraline knocks me the hell out untill morning! So thats why I hadn't answered.

She seemed very relieved, I know feel so much guilter for her being up all night worrying about me!

Your right though, I have made it through four months another day wont make much difference!

I have said this about a place of work before.

I don't think there is anything underlying issues with depression and bullying.

I had the usual bullying in school but who doesn't really? My fault for being 6 foot with glasses!

This guy at work though, is one of the "Team Leader" so however much I want too, I HAVE too put up with the shit he throws at me everyday! (Metaphoricaly speaking..)

Happy last day at work!

Glad to hear you've called your mum.

Worst thing is mind, IF they were to offer me a permenant job, I would HAVE to take it due to the shit situation I am in with money! (Savings/Bills/Rent, I REFUSE to get into debt over anything)
