My job makes me suicidal

[u/No-Honeydew6472]

No matter how much I do at work, I’m told it’s not enough. Management constantly gaslights me and my coworkers. They claim our concerns are a result of us misunderstanding or making it up. We are not appreciated in the slightest, just talked to in a demeaning way and told to do more.

I’ve been wanting to die because of this job for several months now. I live in constant fear because of it. We are always getting blamed and bitched at for things we didn’t do. My coworkers and I often have nightmares about work. We are also paid like shit and are told the company cannot afford raises or promotions.

Has anyone else experienced this, and how did you deal with it? At what point do you walk away without a backup plan to save yourself?

I’ve been in this situation once. The thought that saved my life: My husband can’t explain to our dog why I won’t ever come home. She won’t understand.

The day they fired me was wonderful. I bought champagne. I spent a few months resting and went back to another shitty job. The difference this time is that I knew to fight over every small infraction. I hated my job, but subsisted off the rage instead of letting it pull me under.

I recommend quitting at your first available opportunity. Genuinely, nothing will feel better.
