Depressed about work

Hi, I am feeling so lost and like a failure in my work life. In the last two years, I have had 5 different jobs all in different fields. Out of 5 jobs, I was made redundant from 3 and the other 2 didn’t work out either.

The latest job I had was working in a florist, which is my true passion and what I would like to do. Last Friday morning I came into work and was told that they didn’t have enough hours for me anymore and the boss had to let me go. I had only been working there for 2 months.

I am very confused because my boss only hired a new girl about 2 weeks ago, and also hired someone else about a month ago. I don’t understand why I have been let go again when the boss is bringing on new people.

I feel like a loser and a failure in my life. I always try to do my best at work and I feel that I have not succeeded in a career and I am falling behind my friends who are all happy in their jobs.

Over the weekend I have felt very depressed and suffered low self esteem, I layed in bed all day on Saturday and Sunday crying in my room because I feel there is something wrong with me.

is there anyone who can relate? Looking for some understanding or advice

Hello LoveFlowers

Welcome and thankyou for having the courage to post too!

I am sorry about what happened on Friday...and there is nothing worse than being made redundant....not to mention your boss hiring someone else. You are a proactive person by posting here with us...You are not a loser or failure in any way.

I have been made redundant several times and its a major issue for me as I have depression (diagnosed)

Please post back when convenient.....The forums are a safe and non judgement place for you to post 🙂

my kind thoughts

Paul

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your kind words. I have found it difficult to relate to people as a lot of people I know have had large success in their life with their career.

It’s nice to know that there are other people out there who have been through similar experiences.
