So ever since the pandemic started me and my wife have been isolated and not having any contact with anyone. I have been working from home doing customer service ever since. This job consists of everything that I hate. I hate talking to people I don't know on the phone, I hate being the middleman, I hate conflict and many of the people I speak with are angry and take it out on me. I know that they're not mad at me personally but I'm still the one that takes the brunt of the the complaints. At first it was just the type of work that I had an issue with but now I find myself really just hating the company and the way things are handled. I know that the pandemic is coming to an end (hopefully), but it doesn't make it any easier knowing that I have to do this for at least another 3-4 month's. I can't just quit because I need the income but any other job that I do online would be the same type so I feel like finding another job is pointless. I really have nobody to talk with about this and it builds and builds until I breakdown. My wife has a lot of issues and is really working hard to better herself and all of the issues that I have makes hers worse and hinders her progress. I don't really know what I want here but just wanted to reach out for some encouragement or something. I know that this trying time will end but it's just really hard while in the middle of it. Thanks for any support.

I want to welcome you here. I think the SARS-Coronavirus-19 pandemic has had awful consequences on so many people and I am sorry that it has affected you and weighed you down with the burdens you mentioned. That is heartbreaking. Really heartbreaking.

These Forums have helped me a lot during the pandemic and I hope they will prove to be a blessing for you too. I used to work in a job similar to the one you describe and it weighed heavily on me. People who have not borne this weight cannot really understand how heavy it is. Sorry it is affecting your home life in a negative way. Wish I knew what to say that would help.
