I have had anxiety problems more on than off for about 10 years now. I started a job last january, just cleaning as i thought it would help build my confidence back up.
At first everything was ok but the boss and deputy manager are mother and son and have just become more and more bullying and nasty, not just to me but to other staff too, they have their favourites. They are always putting staff down to other members of staff and give me more work because im a push over. The atmosphere is worse than a playground and its grinding me down. My only real friend at work is leaving now because of it. I recently had 4 weeks off sick due to my nerves and went back in march because she was on the phone to me all the time asking when i would be back. She has threatened us with the sack and i have already seen 9 people get the sack since i started, she says things like 'theres plenty on the dole to take your place' and her son comes and goes as he pleases, he is arrogant and scares me, laughing about people with his mate there.
I have rung in sick this morning as i wound myself up really bad about it and have had a panic attack. She was angry on the phone saying other staff cant get in because their car has been smashed and they come together. I dont know what to do anymore, maybe its just me thats weak.
I wanted to open an online clothing shop and have saved enough money for the stock but my sister says im pathetic and should just stay there or get another proper job, i have tried to get another job but there are none.
Please if anyone has any advice because my nerves are getting worse and worse, i just sit and cry most days because i feel so trapped.
Thanks for reading
