Hi guys,
This is my first time posting on a forum and i felt like talking to others might help me.
So i worked in a factory for 8 years with DH also. We were both to be made redundant just before Christmas which we are both still devastated about. We found jobs for the same company as Support Workers and decided to give up our redundancy pay for the offer of our new positions.
So a month into our new jobs we were both at breaking point through stress. The rota system was a complete mess and we never got templated hours like promised in our induction. We were only getting a few days notice on our shifts instead of the two weeks we were meant to be getting and were being placed with clients that we were told are challenging and not for new supoort workers like ourselves. We hit breaking point 2 days before xmas when we had a call to say we had to work all xmas day (8-22) meaning our xmas plans were ruined and my mum would be sat alone on xmas day (she has severe depression as it is). After this revelation, we both decided for our own mental health to resign, serving our required 1 day notice.
Last week i got a temp position as a hospital cleaner working 12 hour shifts but on fixed days. I didnt even last the shift. Everyone i was cleaning with in my area left at lunch as they only work 7 hours a day and i couldnt find anyone to see where to go next. Switchboard was not picking up the phone either to ring the supervisor. I was basically roaming around and after 40 mins i left.
Im now at a point where i am utterly miserable. Me and my partner will both just break down randomly in tears. We struggle with change as it is and everything is becoming overwhelming. We have some savings but im very money conscious and it causes me anxiety. Everything just feels hopeless with a never ending doom looming over us.
Anyone else feeling crushed by life?
