I’m a graphic designer for a jewelry company I do the packaging. I’ve been having some really bad mental health issues for months now. Constant anxiety the second I get in and at one point I was off my antipsychotic for a month and had to work through the withdrawals as I heard them talk shit about how I couldn’t stop crying on the phone when trying to get my meds.
I just found out that I’m making about $11,000 less than my coworker that I’m friendly with. She does sourcing, whatever that means. She told me that her job is so easy and there’s no way I should be making so little. They’ve really piled on the work recently it’s become so hard to keep up with everything.
I have autism and adhd and asked for accommodations to be given due dates that are more than 24 hours in advance and work from home once a week because there’s no need for me to be in the office and I’m only distracted here. They basically said no. And they’ve been avoiding me after saying they don’t know what an ada accommodation is. It’s whatever.
I want to quit I want to be done I can’t control my emotions while I’m here and I’m constantly under stress. I was doing extra work on the weekends just to keep up. But I stopped. If I tell them I can’t get something done they just tell me to figure it out and that it’s not an acceptable answer.
I’m waiting to hear back from a new job opportunity and I don’t have a safety net. I only have one more paid day off I can take. They don’t really let me take off time if I don’t have the time to take. But I need a break I need to catch up with myself I feel like a crazy person just getting more depressed. I don’t know what to do. I’m broke and can’t even keep up with bills.
I’m drowning and I feel like I’m going to lose myself because of this.
