How can I fight against corporate people?

[Federer]

How can I fight against the corporate environment and the previous who took me for a ride and abused me to the point of no return. Sadly, these people in power are much smarter than me because they eat meat and fish they are able to outthink my every move and they got away with sleeping with anyone they want. Emotionally abused me and brainwashed me without my consent sadly I have no say in the matter because it's a form of gaslighting where the parties got away with subtle abuse and I saw them play god with my life without my consent I think this should be posted as well for people to know how horrible working Centrelink /Medicare in the corporate environment out there is it's made me lose passion in my life where I go what's the point and my team leader got away with a lot of bad thing.

@Leo25 - sorry to hear that man. I wish there was something I could do change your situation but I am in a similar situation.

@Rosie and Croix - Thanks for the reply, but the thing I don't know why I am feeling anxious around certain people or places that never used to happen before. I cannot do journals if I am in an interview or meeting can I? I just had an interview with a private company but the anxiety I felt in that environment was feeling like I was back at the corporate environment once again where the anxiety and I just want to get out of here feeling was very prominent that I had to deal with it. I can see why people take up smoking these days because the anxiety they must feel around certain places or things must be really bad. How do I combat this? I am worried that the system will force or pressure me to take up smoking, drinking or drugs something that's not in our family I mean my grandfather used to smoke.

Dear Federer~

Interviews can be very nerve-wracking, both beforehand imagining al the things that can go wrong, and afterwards if it was a success plus all the "what if's" where I could have said this or that , and it would have been better.

Rather than resorting to the things you mentioned may I suggest what I use myself, a free smartphone app called Smiling Mind. It is a very large set of exercises designed to make one concentrate on soothing things.

Mind you it does take practice, no use expecting great results the first time you use it. Nevertheless it has exercises for just about everyone, I have the attention span of a goldfish and found one where there was the right amount of reminding to bring my mind back from wandering.

It leaves me feeling calm, with the cycle of unwanted thoughts broken. If you have earphones nobody will know you are using it (good for waiting rooms).

Hi Leo25

I only just noticed this post was from you and not Federer.  My response must have made you feel even worse so please accept my sincere apology.

Can I suggest you open a new post in the BB forum under Orientation as I think our lovely, warm BB community may be able to help you, but only if you feel ready.  We can be your friends. 😊

Please don't give up Leo, the darkness will pass.  Have you seen your GP?  Medication may help lift your mood and make life a little more bearable.

If it gets too much ring the Beyond Blue counsellors on 1300 22 4636 or Lifeline on 13 11 14.  I do it all the time as I can go months without talking to anyone. 

Take care Leo and please consider posting how you're feeling so that people can respond to you.  Just copy and paste exactly what you said here.  Perhaps tells us more about what you're going through but only if you feel up to it.

Warmest regards,

Rosie x

@Croix  what can I do? My brother and I feel trapped in a system which we can't get out and my younger brother constantly rants about money and god being shoved down our throats as a broken tape record he hasn't been the same since he stopped working for services australia I know the workplace did the same thing to him as a way of getting back at me because they are a lot of bad people working in corporate environment who enjoy such sadistic reactions from people suffer or depressed and saying that's normal.

Dear Federer~

Your younger brother places you in an impossible situation and if you dwell on it then you may become very upset, as it keeps on going it can do you harm as a result.

The is a sign above the seat on passenger aircraft "Put oxygen mask on self before attempting to help others". This sign may seem out of place in our discussion though it means you have to look after yourself first. That is not being selfish, just practical.

So may I suggest that means your other bother and yourself all need to have a more tranquil existence without emotional blackmail upsetting you every time you see your younger brother. This may not cure everything but would be significant step.

Perhaps for the sake of your peace of mind you may be able to limit contact?

Hi Leo25,

Sorry to hear that you have had this experience, unfortunately it is an all too common occurrence. I too worked in the Government for over a decade and initially it was good however when I experienced a family tragedy I was pushed out and ultimately had to quit. I have had the same feelings you have described and it has seriously impacted my self esteem and caused my grief to be exacerbated. 

Are you getting any support for how you are feeling? If not reach out to your GP and continue to use the forum and call counselling services. I know it might sound funny but going at into the community like the beach, you can meet people and even a brief encounter with people can make you feel better.

I don't know your exact situation as to what happened but it sounds like you were treated like a number and not the important human being you are which although it has caused you pain, it is not a reflection on you but rather a very dysfunctional system.

Take care and be kind to yourself.

I'm really sorry to hear about what you've been through. It sounds incredibly difficult and unfair. Dealing with abuse and mistreatment in a corporate environment can be overwhelming and can certainly affect your well-being and passion for life.

It's important to know that what you're experiencing is not your fault, and you deserve to work in a safe and respectful environment. If you haven't already, consider reaching out to HR or seeking support from a trusted colleague, friend, or counselor. Documenting your experiences can also be helpful if you decide to take further action.

Remember, you're not alone in facing challenges like this, and there are resources and people who can support you. Take care of yourself and prioritize your well-being as you navigate this difficult situation.

[Federer]

@leefarrell - I have already reached out to HR but the were siding with the employer nothing more waste of money. I had someone control my control against my will without my knowledge and will whilst these people get to live in the fantasy land and get to play god with people's lives without their permission and get a full life of wonderful things whilst making my life harder. I couldn't even control myself in that environment as I was coercively and in subtly being manipulated by whether I was on the phones or whether I was in the corporate environment and I became a laughing stock. 

[Federer]

@Croix - well that means I will lose in touch with him it's bad enough he is socially isolated and if I abandon him then he will feel totally lost 

[Croix]

Dear Federer~

You said "if I abandon him then he will feel totally lost ".  You have a generous heart, he is lucky to have you as a brother.
