I'm not really sure why I'm sharing this, but I think this is fastest way to get out of my chest this weird feeling.
I'm 28yo, designer and publicist for a local store in a city of my third world country, the pay isn't that bad, but definitely should be better. As I said, my job it's to design, but since the start of the pandemic slowly but surely my workload has been increasing. Nowadays I even cover part of my manager work and I haven't seen any rise in my payments.
Today was enough, or at least my body said that, my boss asked me a small task, nothing too hard, but definitely something that I have never done before and I knew that if I did it once, it will be part of my job from now on. I waited to be alone, and just slammed my office door and started ugly crying… I was out of service for at least two hours and after that I wasn't even working normal since my hands were and still are shaking.
I don't know what to do, I don't think I'll quit right now, I'll take a medical paid leave for a few weeks or months if I can, but I don't know if I wanna go back.
Strangers of the internet, has some of you gone through something like this? What did you do about it? Are you doing better now?
I'll be reading you, thanks a lot for reading this.
