I can't with this pressure, people yelling at me, not even answering the good morning, the nuns just treating me as if I'm not doing a good job, if one student is not doing well, inmediatly is my fault, "HOW WEIRD! he's SO good in the other subjects!", I know I could take this like a test for my anxiety and to prove that I'm not so meek, but I can't, it's to much everyday, it's tiring.

I hate the fact tha when someone is treating me like this, as if I were not worthy of respect, I inmedialty start thinking they are right, powerful, firm, and I'mwrong, and I'm afraid that they are going to discover it and scold me because of that. So I'm always very insecure and fearful. Plus they are like all the teachers, well, they are like 3 or four but they are the ones whom I see the most, and I can't believe what they have done now, and I don't want to be there anymore.

I'm quiting in December. I feel bad, but going to work is insupportable.

I've been your position before where my boss didn't seem to like me, always yelling me for doing something wrong when I don't know what I did wrong in the first place. I was in a high stress, competitive job and despite my years of experience, I was not prepared for the emotional stress this job entailed. After 5 months of working my hardest trying to impress him and get his approval, and working my hardest to improve my skills, I couldn't take it anymore and gave him my 2 week notice. The next day he told me he was upset I was leaving and that he really liked the work I did for him and his business. ***?! This after months of humiliating me in front of employees and customers. I even tried to talking to him and business partners on how I can improve so he would stop yelling at me (completely futile, with no constructive criticism or advice.) Then he had to nerve to tell me that he was upset I was leaving. I left that day and never went back. I laughed all the way home in disbelief and joy.

Now I'm an employer, hiring and managing employees for a mid-size company, and I can really empathize my former boss and the tremendous stress he was experiencing. I still think he was an idiot for the way he managed me and my co-workers. I try to remember all the times he made me feel like crap, and despite sometimes managing employees is like herding cats, I try to be as clear (and sometimes brutally honest) with my employees. The worst is to not know where I stand with my bosses.

GreekGoddess,

 I have read several of your posts and I totally stand behind you in quitting your job! I think the stress of quitting will be far less then the stress that your job causes! When I read some of the stuff you post on here I cannot believe anyone can treat someone like that! Little lone a nun! Its amazing. I'm proud of you for deciding to quit, it takes great strength! *hugs*

GreeekGoddess:
I'm glad you posted that. I was in the same boat. In my job, some people were pleasant,however it was all the back-biting complaining about everyone. Our clinical coordinator would change her mood by the minute(happy one minute, yelling the next). Then we got a new Program Director(big boss). Nice enough, and I'm sure she was getting her cues from coorperate but unrealistic expectations. I couldn't take anymore and quit. Now I can't find a job,( I have a job now with an agency but can't get hours). Everytime I think about going back to floor nursing, I start to cry, hard. I don't know if this is anxiety, or an off shoot of my MS or Crohn's Disease.
I think I am loosing my mind
