Life is just too much. I cannot keep up with my work, everything is just triggering. From colleagues taking the mickey, to managers being unreasonable, to the general vibe being stressful...
I just don't know what to do.
It's all becoming too much. I'm spinning out and don't know how to keep myself grounded.
Still coming to work, feeling like a zombie and all I want to do is break into tears again

You really should take a few days to regroup, I've discovered that sometimes, all I need is timeout to make the spinning stop...

Why not take 2 or 3 days emergency leave, or get your pdoc to book you off ( you can decide what goes on your certificate)...

Please think about it

Well, I have a meeting in 30 minutes (Has been postponed for the 2nd time already) to see if they will move me to a department that offers me more job satisfaction and all me to feel like I actually am something. I'd actually said to my boyfriend that I wanted to take today off to regroup. But I wasn't going to sit at home on my own. Will wait for a day when my bf also has off and we can do something together - i need company around me

Good luck with the change of position. I agree being around people can be a necessity when we're not feeling 100%. Is there somewhere you can go while your bf is at work like out for coffee, window shopping etc.?

Window shopping and going for coffee on my own is not a good idea - I need a friend or someone around.

Looks like I will be moving positions - the crappy mail was not discussed this time round.
I'll prob be planning for Flooring (Vinyl tiles) and Home Decor. A bit of a different type of job, hey.
So the buyer decides what to buy at what price, and I have to order, and allocate stock to the various stores. (Our version of "Walmart" has +- 100 stores). So it will be exciting!
I feel better already knowing that there's a change in the pipeline

I'm sorry you are feeling so stressed. I agree with previous posters - taking a few days off seems like it would be very beneficial.

Also, in response to your most recent post - I'm glad you are feeling better due to this position change. I hope you enjoy it.

Sorry I just now read this! I haven't been on as much the past 2 weeks dealing with some family issues... I digress. I am glad you got to change positions. Maybe a change will keep your mind stimulated and you will find some satisfaction from work?? I hope so.

Good luck.

I hope this change is what I needed. Boredom, lack of stimulation, no motivation... these are triggers for me in one way or another...

Thanks for your support.
This morning I was really bad, but managed to pick the pieces up as the day went on

I'm glad you got the change you was looking for. Hopefully things will go better for you at work now.

Sorry you had a bad morning, but I'm glad it got better for you Sugahorse.
