So fucking tired of this fucking shit

Everything is imploding. I'm sitting typing in tears but trying to hold it together.

Having a really tough time at work. Boss is not being actively supportive of a nasty situation (saying the right things but doing fuck all). I'm a solid employee and I don't ask for much-I just need help to resolve a situation and it's dragging on indefinitely as other things keep "cropping" up.
Not coping with the workload. I dropped to 4 days specifically to keep a work/home balance but it's 9.50 and I've been working since I got in at 6 (with a short interlude to put DS to bed). Work have essentially shovelled 5 days of work into 4, given me additional responsibilities (packaged as a promotion without the pay increase) and are likely rubbing their hands in glee at the fact that I stupidly agreed to this.
home is shit. DS is entering the terrible twos and DH's support has been laughable. We go round in circles-me cooking, cleaning etc and then having a go at him to pull his weight. He does for a week or two and then it's back to the same old shit. he knows how much I've got on yet the cooking, cleAning, responsibilities for DS all fall to me.
I'm also doing my master pt and while the actual writing is fine, finding the time is so difficult.

In essence this is a huge moan. I'm so unbelievably sick of life right now. I just want everything to stop and just leave me alone.
I don't want to go to work tomorrow. I don't want to have to deal with DHs moods and selfish laziness.
I just want to check out for a few days but I can't because that's not what grown ups do.

Sometimes checking out is a good idea? Night in a hotel, signed off work? LeAve the lazy git with baby.

Agree absolutely with PPs - don't get signed off unless there is no other option. HR departments have looooooooong memories!

You say that your boss says the right thing but does nothing. Do you have a papertrail? Emails along the lines of as discussed with you on x date at y time you agreed to do abc in order to address def.

I would also stop working when you get home. They wont take you serioudly until you show them that the workload is too much and that it is their problem to fix.

Thanks for the replies. Fortunately I didn't see what was said by ash as I was working: something he/she may want to try.

I'm just leaving for work just now. I'm hopeful that it's a better day.

to be honest it was nothing really to do with the thread. just random unpleasant messages. i would imagine the hairy handed one has well and truly crawled back under its bridge now.

hoping for a better day for you. xx

I got myself signed off for stress and was the right move for me

They did send me on my way a few weeks later with 20k, but I was happy as couldn't do the job anymore so was going to quit.

My dh is a wonderful man, and on the whol he can see what needs doing and do it. However he does have slatternly standards and won't vacuum, mop, clean bathrooms as I do, or needs prompting.

Would he respond to a schedule of jobs, a rota for food, a split of bedtimes? Something you put up on the fridge and then there is no argument, it just gets done.

Dh and I used to have a saturday morning deep clean blitz.

Can you afford a cleaner?

Why don't you put your masters on hold? It doesn't sound like you have the time or the energy just now (which is perfectly understandable)
