Oh, help! Making myself sick. Don't know if I can do this today. Mango25: It's just another day, right? I work with my ex. I come in every day and know that I can't talk to him even though he spends the whole day a few hundred feet away from me. I see him talking to young, attractive women. It makes me sick. I've not spoken to him in a month, but, I don't know why, I feel like I just can't do it today. Why?
I feel sick to my stomach. I want to run away. Would it be wrong to just quit my job? I want to cry. I need a hug.
Help.
Re: Oh, help! Making myself sick. Don't know if I can do this today. MEP2006: No, it wouldn't be wrong to quit your job if it meant ensuring better mental & emotional health for you! And it may just be a step up into something more challenging, more rewarding, and with more prospects than your current role (and sitting there watching yourself get blindsided everyday by the memory of your time with that man.) It would give you something else to hope for, to get excited about, to work towards... I think it could ONLY be a good thing to get out of there and find new ground to break.
HUGS.
Re: Oh, help! Making myself sick. Don't know if I can do this today. ezydriver: I agree. If I were in your shoes I would NEVER be able to cope with seeing my ex just a few hundred feet away. Jesus, I'd be petrified of hearing that she'd be going out on a date with a new guy from accounts or something.
So, in my opinion, I dont think its wrong to quit your job. I think I would. And, as BetterThanThis mentioned, it could just be the silver lining to your cloud.

Re: Oh, help! Making myself sick. Don't know if I can do this today. Crystal_Blue_024: It wouldn't be wrong at all for you to look for a new job... I know I wouldn't be able to be in the same building as my ex everyday... It can only hinder and slow your healing process... Do what's right for you... Hang in there hun....
