I work at Walmart. I've spent the last few months working overtime. I rarely ever call off. In August, I was rewarded a trophy for being employee of the month. As of right now, I have 60 hours of unused vacation time leftover from this year, because that's how little I take time off. I honestly didn't plan on using it, even though I have until the end of January to do so. But in the spur of the moment - because I've been struggling with anxiety and depression - I requested two days of PTO for the end of January, which I requested two weeks in advance. Trust me, with the way I've been feeling lately, I'd prefer my vacation days a lot sooner, but figured I'd give two weeks notice out of courtesy. Long story short, they denied my vacation request.
Same!!! I spent all of 2024 crying and I'm still stuck with the same company despite all the interviews I've gone on. Which makes it even worse. Im so desperate to find something else I get terrible anxiety just going on the interviews hoping to land something and still nothing 😢
Totally agree with you! Glad that you tackle this common problem in workplaces. That's why we should have to create a healthy workplace. Thanks for this! :)))
This so true I left a very good job as in what I went to college for due to office distance n low pay . I since went back to my previous job n 3 weeks in work wise I have no sense of fulfillment it feels like I have 0eaning at work there's nothing to do n everyone seems to not see it there is no point in me being at work I do nothing i have no work identity my career is dead now but I make more money n the work place is 5 min from home but there's no satisfaction or meaningful to it

This is a common problem in most workplaces. Glad that you talked about it.
Thank you for this. I’ve been languishing. It’s been tough. The only thing I look forward to is going to sleep.
I’m living this now. I cry daily and can’t sleep. It’s awful.
Sending hugs! You can do this!

I quit drinking a month ago and now I sleep to forget about life
