Work is killing me

I work with youngsters in a place for those who are needing to find accommodation.

I have suffered with severe depression, generalised anxiety disorder and ptsd. I went really unwell but then I managed my health, I got back on my feet and got a job. I absolutely loved the job and got offered a promotion six months ago in a new place with a new team, I took it and wished I never did.

Team members refused to help me out and because I stated to the manager that I was struggling with the work load and lack of help, he must have spoke with them. I’ve since had emails of a team member who had ccd in the whole company and was trying to call me out as a liar. I proved her wrong and the whole thing was embarrassing. I then had a team meeting, where the same member of staff tried saying I didn’t do my job. Manager intervened told her to basically back off. Since then I get tons of calls of her telling me how to do my job, despite the fact I’m in a higher position than her and I would never dare tell her how to do her job.

They constantly watch me on cameras, whenever someone comes into the office, they ring and ask me what they wanted, despite it having nothing to do with them. I then went into their work office, they were being awful about another member of staff, had this persons fb up and was calling him names and his gf names when she is nothing to do with our project. One of them even called the staff member a nonce. I have no proof of them doing this, so can’t do much about it but it’s constant and it’s horrible.

I’ve spoken to my manager, he isn’t concerned and just told me to improve my relationship with them 😬

I don’t even want to go into work tomorrow, I feel so mentally drained. As soon as I come home from work, I’m miserable and irritable with the kids when they don’t deserve it. I’m looking for a new job but there isn’t much. I’m tempted to call in sick tomorrow but I don’t want to let my clients down as I know they need support. It’s just so draining and I’m at a loss at what to do. Management seem so ignorant about it all, the staff turnover is insane and they wonder why. Just feel crap

Your health is more important than your job and issues at work need to be resolved or find another job like you said.

You only need one bad apple in a team and the rot spreads. The bad apple needs to go..

OP I had a similar job to yours, after many years it ruined me and my physical and mental health. Find another job, I found something in a similar supportive role but not residential and it has been a breath of fresh air. I also have the most amazing and supportive Manager and colleagues. I wish you lots of luck in finding a new role where you are appreciated.

I forced myself into work today and come home so miserable.
I spoke with the gp a while ago and they wanted to sign me off work for a little bit but I declined as one I need the money and two I feel like I’m letting my clients down but now I’m so low, I feel like I’m going to have to speak with gp and take their offer.

I feel like such a let down and a shit worker. I know they’re all going to be bitching about me if I go off sick but I honestly don’t think I can continue there

Your health and well being is more important than what your colleagues thing.

Thank you all, I’ve taken some time off work to try and get better
