Re: the football shirts, could we all try our local Freecycles? I am in a football-free zone here :j but would gladly collect from my local area and send them wherever they need to go.

Thanks Hypno for those techniques. I get very affected by other people's feelings and needs and need my own safe "head space". I will try those out. I really want to get back into the work place but seriously one of my biggest worries is that it (well, the people) will sap all my energy away and I'll end up being tired and miserable

I have just caught up again, this far, when I read this and I can't believe that someone else can feel exactly how I feel about my current job.

I am so miserable about my current position and my future roles within this nightmare job that my energy, and I mean all of it, is completely taken over by either worries about work, talking about it, thinking of ways not to go, thinking of ways to get out, etc etc and I am so exhausted and very miserable.

I have mentioned before that I am seeing a counsellor for the treatment of my depression and she asked me, on Monday, what I would like to change as soon as I walked away from my session. It was the first time we discussed it and work was the only thing I would change at that point, I broke down in tears. I was a complete blubbering wreck and for the first time she had to hand me a tissue. What an embarrassing situation. I just couldn't control my strong emotions over my current job situation any longer.

I am so fed up but still too negative to ask the Universe for help. I am hoping that this week off work will put me in a better, brighter place to allow me to be ready to do something more positive and ask Mr (or Ms) Universe for their assistance.

Thanks Rainbow for your comment, I don't feel like I am alone anymore with my thoughts about bad jobs and negative people!

dirtypic, don't be embarrassed to cry in front of your counsellor. The question obviously hit something strong within you. I am training to be a counsellor and one of the things we try to provide is a safe place for the client to show their emotions, so that you don't have to control them but allow them to happen.

We have tissues availble for just that!!

Hugs dirtyepic I hope the week off gives you time to work out a new perspective and find a way forward in the meantime whilst you don't feel you can ask the universe for help we can do it for you and knowing that you are not alone in your problems will help too - so I am sending positive vibes to you.:A

Someone asked what the business was I am setting up (sorry by the time I caught up on the thread I forgot who) I am selling buttons and beads I have a real passion for them so that is my bread and butter line. I am also hoping to import some beads from Uganda which they handmake from paper to support widows out there. I am also selling jewellery some of my own when my little girl leaves and I have the time and space but also selling on behalf of others so as to create a wide range and general appeal and hopefully promote cross selling I live in North Wales so plenty of tourist attraction opportunities and fairs. I like the idea of working in co-operation with other women (not that I wouldn't accept jewellery made by men :rotfl:) so that there is mutual support and hopefully profit.

Bit disappointed today my business debit card and commercial card have arrived in the post today but they are in my name not the business name so need to phone the bank on Monday to sort that out couldn't use them anyway as no pins or anything but it would have been nice to see the business name on something official.

Count me in on the football kit idea I think it's great in Uganda they are mad about football too one of our sponsored childen plays in goal for Man Utd Juniors :rotfl::rotfl:

Hi, I can totally relate to how you feel in regards to your job. I walked out of mine 2 weeks ago, partly beacause of the job, partly because of all the negativity and the catalyst was the rudness of the manager. So I just upped and walked. Foolish in the current climate but peace of mind came 1st. I am lucky to have a supportive partner, but 5 job interviews later and still nothing, I need to get a job proto, cannot afford not to work.
I understand how you feel though. The workplace is where we spend a lot of our days and can be extremely stressful especially if we arent happy there. It isnt easy I know, stay strong and positive,
again, not easy, but I have to try.
Good luck

Hmm ok - what did I do wrong... stew in slow cooker at 10am - recipe said to add veg 1hr before end and turn up to high - which I did.

We just ate it - and frankly it was rank. Veggies were hard, gravy wasn't as thick as i would like.

Now I'm in a foul mood (because I really wanted it to be special) and a bit hungry (because dinner was foul)

Can someone advise so it's nicer next time x

Delurks... Hi Mg and all

I've lurking around and catching up for a couple of weeks now and my word what an inspirartional and motivational lot you are. I love the way all these fantastic people have been brought together by one woman and have helped each other along. I hope I can offer some help along the way.

(((hugs))) to dirtyepic, I dont know what it's like to be in a job you hate but my OH is in the same posistion, he hates his job but he's tied there for the money and doesn't see how he can ever do something else. I try to tell him that I would always support him if he left, after all money is not everything I would much rather see him happier and fulfilled. I hope someday you find somethnig else that makes you happy and fulfilled.

My book arrived today MG, and I've read it already. Oh how I wish I had this book when I was doing my GCSE'S and A levels, I may have been a bit more ambitious. Your payment will go through on Monday through online transfer. Thank you.

What veg were you using? I normally put veg in at the beginning.

Dirtyepic - hang on in there. It is rubbish not enjoying your job, I know I've been there. The most difficult thing being that these twits are sapping your confidence. A suggestion to help you get your mojo back...have a think -or draw a mind map, as they're all the rage these days ;-) - about the things you enjoy, things you've achieved, things you can do better than others, things that make others smile. But look through someone elses eyes to get some objectivity e.g. imagine what a family member or friend would say if they were talking proudly about you. But most importantly take it easy (and don't spend your time off worrying about work).

Delurking twice in one week - think I might need to go and lie down.

Just written my elimination list. What an eye-opener as most of these things are in my gift to fix now if I put my mind to it. A kick up the behind just dished out to self.
