Hi I would like to introduce myself and share experiences to help me fight depression and anxiety

[depresijabb]

Hi

I am new to the forum and I need someone to talk to and get help on how to beat depression and anxiety and how to handle bullies.

My manager bullies me at work and she put me down so much and old feelings of insecurity came back and I felt very anxious and depressed and I need to overcome people like her causing me problems and putting me down.

Also if anyone knows a group of people who get together and talk through their experiences please let me know I would love to be a part of a support group.

Hi depresijabb

Welcome to the forums and good on you for having the courage to post too!

There are support groups but we cant nominate them as this is a national website. Great idea though. I have been using the Beyond Blue forums as a support group since I joined with depression early last year and there are many gentle people that can be here for you.

I understand where you are coming from as I have also been subject to bullying at work too.

Like (evilnut) Wayne mentioned above no one has the right to make you feel this way. Wayne also mentioned that we have to feel sorry for these people/bullies who micro manage their workers. I see my GP every month for a 'tune up' when my thinking gets effected by negative/toxic people. GP's have much better training where mental health nowadays

I hope that you can use the Beyond Blue forums as a part of your support network. The forums are a safe and non judgemental place for you to post 🙂

I hope you can stick around depresijabb.

my kind thoughts

Paul

Hey welcome depressijabb's, That's not a great situation, your Manager bullying you. Are you able to elaborate a little about how you feel your being bullied? Are you able to ask for a meeting with your Manager? Maybe they don't realise the effect their behaviour is having on you. Some people have that type of personality. I had a situation where I felt a Supervisor had a dislike to me. It was brought to my attention that she was just a bit gruff. If it's real serious stuff and you really need to stay I would suggest you take notes of anything that you feel is not appropriate. Including dates, times, situation etc. Also would there be someone above them you can talk to? Wayne is right you have rights and bullying in the workplace is not acceptable. If nothing improves look for a new job. Hope things improve for you sooner than later. Chris

i once tried to tell my friend how i felt and she shouted at me for being silly and basically being attention seeking.

hello Depresijabb, I'm sorry that there are people like your manager who take delight knowing they can boss probably not only you but also other work mates.
They do this because they don't feel happy until they do, but they have to, as their own personality is lacking something, whether it's lack of confidence, low esteem or even struggling to find their own friends, but eventually their own time comes along.
This maybe so but unfortunately it's something that has upset you and as all those above me have had these problems, including myself then please feel comfortable starting here. Geoff.
