Hi Wadeo,
Welcome to Beyond Blue and the community here, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY for yesterday. Hopefully your wife and children helped you to celebrate.
It can suck and hurt when people forget your Birthday and other dates and experiences that are important to you. Over the years I have tried to let go of the hurt, pain and disappointment. It doesn't always work mind you, but making an attempt to do so makes me feel better.
Sounds like your work place is full on. Are there not rules and regulations that stipulate people are required to have a certain amount of breaks during a day?
Being new at a job might make it hard to investigate and to be seen as making waves if you enquire about your rights to breaks. Do any of the other workers have lunch breaks at all?
Would you like to share more of how you are feeling? People might be able to give you some suggestions on how to change things for the better.
Do you have weekends off work? Do you like spending time with the family? Can you think of new and different things to do on weekends to help add some spice to your life?
Do you have hobbies and interests? Do you drive to work or catch transport? If you use public transport can you use the travelling time to do something you might enjoy like read, do a cross word puzzle or so on.
I feel like I have asked a lot of questions here!
Maybe you could make a list of things you like do, things you would like to do and work on achieving some of those things.
Hope some of this helps you.
Cheers for now from Mrs. Dools
