I want to quit
Work & Career / by confusedsunshine

...See more I want to quit my job but I can’t. In this economy and job market, I’m still the “lucky” ones to have a stable job. But job itself is okay but I’ve been meaning to switch to another career anyway. But lately, the people especially the manager has been treating me like poop. I was gone for 5 days because I was very ill and wasn’t able to update them in time and made me feel bad like I don’t already feel bad leaving for that long and I know my coworkers will be covering in the meantime. I understand I made a mistake and explained and apologized but I’ve been treated like I don’t exist and like I made the biggest mistake in the world. I have no idea how to approach this and I don’t know how else to apologize. Even before this happened I have been wanting to move to a different position but after months and months of applying for jobs, I still have nothing. It’s has really taken a toll of my mental health and I don’t want to go back into depression because it was tough to get out of that. I don’t know what to do. I want to tell my mom but I’m sure she wouldn’t understand.

...See more it’s always been like this even when I was young. I always get really anxious going back to “reality” after a long time off. Going back to school after the summer break. Now going back to work after a long vacation. I have no idea why and I don’t know how to change it.

Snoring :(
Self-Esteem / by confusedsunshine

...See more i have always known that I snore but I guess people around me just accepted it or not bothered by it. I don’t know how loud or quiet it is. First time spending the night with the guy I’m dating. Woke me up to let me know I’m snoring. I playfully mentioned that I can sleep on the couch since he is already having a hard time sleeping in a quiet place. Shocked he agreed. He did feel bad a few hours later and was very apologetic. But now, I’m very insecure and I can’t sleep next to him without feeling self conscious and embarrassed. We discussed it in the morning, with me spent some hours at night going over what to tell him and to prepare myself mentally and emotionally just in case he can’t accept it or don’t think he can handle it in the long run or if it’s a deal breaker for him. I told him it would be better to just end it if it’s something he knows he can’t handle because stringing me along when more feelings developed is just too cruel. All good news mentioned it’s not a deal breaker at all and he understood that it’s something I can’t really control. He’s supportive and willing to work it out with me. But now all I can think about is him leaving when realizing he can’t do it. Too self conscious. I don’t know.
