I've been considering leaving my job since December. It's making me extremely unhappy - I don't like the place at all and I do not get on with any of the managers. I'm not sure if it's paranoia but I'm 96% sure most of the staff talk about me behind my back.

I've even overheard managers talking about people negatively while they are not present, in an offensive way. It's made me feel uncomfortable. I had a really bad day today and it has made me want to leave more than ever. I think I manager might find out what i think of her soon, as I told someone what I think of her. She seems to pick on me and hurry me alonG.

My psychiatrist doesn't think the job is compatible with my disorder or my Aspergers syndrome, as it's a very social job (rretail).

I've recently had a relapse and don't feel well enough to work. I'm severely depressed and occasionally
Possible trigger:
and I'm really struggling. I am still on sickness benefit but was allowed up to a year in work with a maximum of 15 hours a week although I can only really manage six without feeling drained.

I'm finding it more and more difficult to stay there. I have nightmares about the place.

Anyway. I told my partner I was considering leaving for health purposes and he was very judgemental about it. He said he didn't sit right with him. He refused to say why it didn't sit right with him. I was extrmely down so went to sleep at 4pm after work and I woke up at almost 11pm. Once again I tried to get an answer out of him as to why he can't accept that I'm struggling and hr came out with this:

"Becauze i dont want people thinking we are lazy and cant be arsed to get a job."

Im deeply hurt. And feeling worse than I was before. It's mothers day tomorrow and I'm supposed to be seeing my family for it. But after this I don't even feel up to that.

Am I in the wrong? I thought he'd be more understanding
