Depression

Quote From: fuzzy123

Hey Yall,
Oh Finally, I am on the mends. No more of those "is she going to live?" coughs. I am feeling soooo much better. I am acctually getting sleep now. Makes a person feel not so depressed once health is better.
Ahhh... the weekend. It has been a long time since I've had a weekend off.
My work schedule has changed. Our clinic doesn't want to be open on Saturdays anymore. That left me with 2 choices. Start working Monday-Friday or have a 4 day work week.
I chose the 4 day work week. The only problem is that my work week is now 38.5hr/week instead of the typical 40. (with overtime you would never have guessed---11hrs straigh, no lunch, no break today)
I did the math and I'm not going to be loosing that much money. I don't think I'll even notice.
What is getting me sooooooo frustrated is that NO ONE is happy for me. I have a schedule that I like....
And maybe I'll be able to get better...I am sooooooo sick physically, mentally, and emotionally.
No one understands that. It is soooooo hard to deal with all the ridicule.
It's my life... why won't people let ME live it?????

 I say...GOOD JOB !!!!!!! For You!!) ) ))))))))) Way to go !  Taking care of yourself is much more important than anything else.  You are the only person who knows yourself best and if that is what you have to do, then that is what you have to do. Please don't fret over what others think, so what if they don't understand, while they are slave-working, you could be lying on the beach (or something similer), and can rub it in their face telling them " they had the choice too". Go....enjoy your time to yourself, you deserve it !!!!!   I am sure it is time well earned.  Good job !!!  Great Decision !!!)))))))))

Hi fuz. So glad to hear that you are on the mend and cough took a hike and that you are feeling soooo much better. Another answered prayer of ours here. We are chalking up quite a few answered prayers here lately. Nice to know you will have a weekend off. I have worked the no breaks and no lunch before and family likely projecting onto you their aggravation since illegal to do employees that way...in United States anyway. Plus, not healthy. If a family member or friend I knew was being done that way it'd aggravate me and it might seem like I was mad at person. Yet, instead, wouldn't be mad at person I cared about and just sad someone I cared about being taken advantage of.

The good thing about when I worked the way that you are was went out to eat right afterwards with a good friend and lost weight and had ten I could lose. The bad thing is very hard on you and takes it's toll eventually and if you don't need to lose weight not good. Plus, sort of messes up your digestion skipping meals. Did mine anyway. Eat a nice breakfast before going in and have some healthy snack items to eat and drink. Even better, take your lunch "and" breaks if at all possible. You are right, though, your life. We all sometimes get our toes stepped on by employers so say "OUCH" so you get your breaks and lunch and you don't get burned out.

This is not meant as ridicule because if I was younger and not eating on breaks or lunch anyway and could get paid over time to skip... I might skip lunch. Breaks, however, I thought that two fifteen minute breaks are supposed to be included in your pay I. Not ridiculing and just thinking and caring. Whatever works works and you are you, I am me, we are we and those who you care about are those who care about you. Oh well, you are really sharp and know what you are doing. Glad you feel better and enjoy your weekend. HOORAY!!! fuzzy123 has a weekend to enjoy and that's worth A LOT. Enjoy all that $$$money$$$ you are raking in too. May the force of happiness be with you. (((HUGs and PRAYERs))) xoxoxo SEA

I am so glad to hear you are on the mend.    Having the weekend off is a good thing and I hope you enjoy every minute of it. 

  

If I were you I wouldn't worry about what other people think.  That is their opinion and is not your really.  It's all about them and it sounds like they may be a little jealous of what you have achieved, so they ridicule you in order to sabotage you good feelings of self worth.  Just ignore them and live your life to the fullest.  HMO. 

  

Take care of you my friend.
