Hi everyone,
I'm here sitting at work, and feeling a little overwhelmed. Figured I'd come here to get out a few things so I don't take it out on unsuspecting co-workers!
I feel so overwhelmed with everything these days.. I feel so completely stupid at work, my mom and I are the primary caregivers for my dad... who's nowadays completely dependent on us for every little thing. I have so many mixed emotions as it is, but then to come to work everyday and my boss is harping on me for every LITTLE DETAIL, and he shakes his head and slaps my wrists for every minor little thing. I know my work hasn't been 110% focused, but I've been doing the absolute best that I can. I'm by no means a slacker, and I've done my best to not let my tumultuous personal life interfere with my work the last couple of years while dealing with all of this ALS stuff on the side.. sometimes I just want a day in bed. Just turn off everyone and everything and just take some time to get ME together. I feel awful. And I feel like the most moronic, dumbest employee ever. And I KNOW my mistakes are just errors and minor oversights, which I will fix as soon as I catch them (and I catch them most of the time before my boss ever does!) My co-workers know my situation, but I don't think they really quite 'get' what we're dealing with aside from 'my dad's sick'. I hate to wish bad things on others but I wish they could really see and feel this experience, just to know what it's all like. I'm mentally and emotionally spent.
Sorry, just had to get it out.
back to work. hope you're having good days out there! Thanks for listening
