Where can I go for offloading about workplace issues?

[Manchestermanchester]

I had a therapist for a number of years who taught me many skills because I was chronically depressed/low mood/bipolar etc. I found it great to offload and keep a check of feelings etc. It was group based skills learning and honestly was amazing.

At that period of my life I was working remotely or in the office with a bunch of IT men who were crazy about their job and left me alone, haha. I was in a non English speaking country with my partner and I eventually moved.

Now I’m in an office with a different dynamic and I sometimes need a bit of help with how to manage relationships at work. In my other jobs I was either working for myself or had complete control of what I was doing, therefore interpersonal relationships were easier. Now I’m in a weird work team that I don’t particularly enjoy being in but I’m stuck for the time being.

I do sometimes question if their behaviour (and indeed my own) is justified. I need to offload and ask many questions.

I’m getting work related anxiety and I’m sick of my free time thinking or being upset about work.

Is there somewhere I can offload or learn how to manage work related stress? Obviously the nhs is out of the question.

What behaviour is causing you concern? Can you give any more details?

From the somewhat high level info in your OP, it isn't clear whether there is specific inappropriate behaviour in members of your team that is troubling you or whether your need to offload is because of your own sense of self-worth and confidence not being strong enough currently.

If it's the former (ie colleagues' behaviour) that's something you may need to formalise with a manager. If it's the latter, then CBT could help you to deconstruct situations and reframe them more positively.

I'm not sure a permanent counselling arrangement is sustainable or even that helpful. What you possibly need is coping strategies that you can repurpose in a variety of different situations, so you become accustomed to self-help and awareness. But all this is me guessing because I don't know the specifics of what is troubling you!

I’m not sure what exactly. Mainly I hate the environment and constant stressors i find with the people around me. Boredom of nothing to do for most of the day and generally I don’t want to be there.
Solution is for a new job, but unfortunately I’ve only be able to get another one part time.
Plus there are the feelings like I’m being bullied and anxiety attacks .
