I don't get it, I don't get it, I don't GET IT!!
I am absolutely sick of my predicament. I'm currently stuck in limbo land.
I am on long term sick from work and I don't know what to do.
I was overworked and my boss treated me pretty badly, so badly I ended up with anxiety and depression from the stress.
People say it's a shame that I am not a member of a union or something...
But it's ridiculous! I just think the whole thing is an absolute farce!
Why should I have to fight in order to be treated with respect in a basic admin job?
I just want to exchange my time and labor for a reliable pay check, ffs, but I appear to be asking too much...
I'm not a bad employee, I am punctual, helpful and my colleagues like me as a person.
I feel bad about not being in work to help the colleagues I do actually like... but I'm just not well enough right now.
I'm trying to look for a new job but it's hard with all the anxiety and depression getting in the way.
Oh, and existential crisis bonus points cause I don't even know why I have to go through all this...
I am single, I have no dependents, I don't care for materialistic trappings.
Why am I torturing myself just to make money in order to survive and prolong my torture?
So that I can retire when I am too old to enjoy my life?
If someone could please provide me with an epiphany, I would be most appreciative.
Don't do it only to prolong your suffering! What you are doing must be a means to an end. Maybe you suffer now in order to retire when you're not too old to enjoy life? A country with a lower cost of living might be a viable option?

Thank you dd0s.
I live in the UK and I have minimal savings due to the high cost of living.
I am actually still over £10,000 in debt because I have not been able to earn enough to pay off my student loan.
When I finished university, 12 years ago, I wanted to work as a research librarian or museum archive assistant but was told in order to enter the field I would have to do voluntary work first.
My parents were unable to support me financially and I fell into admin work as a result.
I am still 35 years away from the UK retirement age also.
I could move to another country, so many people I know seem to be moving to Australia and New Zealand.
