Not sure if anyone has advice, if not, I’m just venting I guess
I am trans, and using my employer’s medical coverage for gender affirming top surgery. I am finally seeing the finish line- I have a consult set up. Unfortunately, the consult is in November- the soonest my local surgeon’s office could set up. I am looking in to other options but it’s looking like there’s a chance I will be stuck in this job for up to another year.
The area I work in is very toxic. There is constant conflict and the management is constantly making unnecessary changes without seeking feedback from those it affects. The customers are absolute nightmares. The area I am in is incredibly loud and overstimulating for me, making the work draining and sometimes painful.
My job does allow for transfer into other areas, however it has been impacting my mental health so much that my attendance is not great- and good attendance is needed to transfer. I need to attend every day through July without calling in to be qualified to transfer.
How do you handle work when it is destroying your mental health but you cant really leave? I am so exhausted all the time and don’t want to keep doing this. I am on antidepressants and speaking to a therapist for the first time in years in the hopes that they will help me make it through.
