I'm fed up with everything. I hate my body for doing this to me. I hate the fact that I spend so much time seeing doctors even though they hardly ever do anything to help. Work sucks, I love my job but some of the people I work with (including my new boss) are bloody awful to work with. I mean, I don't expect any special treatment but when people tell me they've got it worse because they stayed an hour later than me (even though I was in earlier than them, and had a shorter lunch break, and they get paid WAY more than me) it does hurt.

And I hate the fact that I'm being such a whiney little baby at the moment, people think I'm putting it on for sympathy or something. I mean I was upset at work earlier and someone took offense that I was getting upset over something they said, even though I wasn't, that was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
 
You're not being a whiney little baby. You have legitimate cause for complaint. I'm sorry your coworkers aren't more sympathetic.
 
Sometimes you just need to lay it on them thick, like.

Hope things improve for you! Can you stick a rocket up your doctors too?
 
Wow, Rebecca, we are kind of going through the same thing. I have been getting really fed up with work/co-workers, too. I have had a short fuse and little tolerance. I can't help it. I am sick of working my butt off, while my boss does nothing and get paid WAY more than I do. Whoa, I need to settle down.

Needless to say, I think I understand where you are coming from. The most frustrating part is things rarely change in the work place. My boss is who she is, and after 4 years of working together, she isn't going to change now. So, I try to focus on the positive, such as since she takes so much time off, I don't feel guilty when I take time.

I hope you have a better day tomorrow.
 
Sounds like really rough day...you have every right to feel the way you do and to vent about it all you need to...it's how we get through, right?!?!?!

Hang in there....hugs!
 
Well I'm off work today, feel absolutely awful- sore throat, chesty cough, headache, aching limbs. If I'm lucky, it's a bad cold. If I'm unlucky, I was exposed to hand, foot and mouth disease a few days ago! So now I'm in my pyjamas on the sofa with a blanket and my lovely boyfriend running round after me.

I think people might realise now that I'm not putting it on though- tried to work through it yesterday, made my stomach hurt through the stress, took codeine for that and had a bad reaction. Ended up having to call my dad to get me (how silly did I feel, 26 years old and having to be collected from school by my parents!).
 
I'm so sorry you are having such a rough time! Don't feel badly about having your Dad come and get you...it is wonderful to have those people who will do that when you need...we are never too old for our parents to care for us when we need!!! I hope you are resting well today...hugs to you!
