A couple of months ago, my supervisor told me that they were giving more office duties to do but cutting my office hours from 40 hours to 20 hours a week (I am still full time, just now I have to do 20 hours a week of direct care and 20 hours in the office). I didn't understand it then, and I still don't....how can you give me more work to do and less time to do it??? At that time, I was promised that if any more office work became available that it would come to me and that I would get pulled out of direct care (I told my supervisor that I did NOT want to do direct care, but I was forced into it anyways). Last week, one of my coworkers left the company for another job. So, now there was more work available, but NONE of it was given to me. I was so pissed off. I was already experiencing strong negative emotions towards my supervisor and work, but now it is even worse because there is an even bigger lack of trust in my supervisor. Ever since this all started a couple of months ago, I have been cutting every day at work just to get through the day. I can't handle these strong emotions, let alone be able to concentrate and get work done while experiencing them. I can't talk to my supervisor without having to run to the bathroom and cutting afterwards. I am at such a loss here because all of the ways I would distract myself at home so I don't SI I can't do while at work.

I actually started cutting when I was working and it progressed from there.

Can you get rid of whatever you are using to cut? Make sure you don't have it available to you?
Thanks for this!

You are not alone. I know how awful it is. I cut a lot at work just to go through the day as well. I'm sorry. I dont have any good advice but nicoleb2 has.

Thanks for replying. I have tried a couple to get rid of what I use to cut at work, but I ended up not being able to focus or do anything because the emotions were so overwhelming. That just lead to more stress because I got further behind. I need to find a healthy way to deal with my emotions while at work so that I can still be able to focus and get stuff done.
