I feel so isolated that I literally have nobody in my life.



I've had the worst year with work and being treated unfairly to find out I wasn't good enough for promotion. Its all good though because the people who didn't support me got their promotion and the person in our team they did support got promoted too. I'm just bringing the teams average down apparently.



I'm so angry at them and my company and at my person because If I wasn't terrified they were going to prison / we had 2 rents now I would have left this job the first time they made me break down in tears.



I don't think I'll ever recover from all of this and I really don't know how to keep fighting

I am so sorry about all this, EA. Have you tried talking to your HR and explaining your current situation? I'm not sure how you would feel about doing this, but I reached out to my HR the week of the knock and explained that there was an investigation at my house involving someone very close to me whom I deeply care about, and that I was going to therapy. They didn't ask for more details but did inform my manager that I was in a very stressful and emotionally difficult situation at home.

I felt it was good to explain a little bit because I wasn't sure I was going to meet expectations. I had an extremely good 2023 at my company and was sure I wasn't going to be able to focus as good ad before because my mind isn't always there. Talking a bit helped them understand and not think I was just being lazy or not doing my job. Do not compare yourself to others. Only you know what you are going through. We are all extremely strong and doing our best in such a traumatic situation. Just remember how well you are doing, please. Sending you love xx

I'm so sorry and I hear you. I lost everything because of what the ex did, my home, my daughters, all friends and my health. The only person I have in my life now is my son (and he's simply wonderful), and my carers. I'm so ill now as a direct result of all this that I can't work and rarely leave home. Can you make a start at looking for another job? Much love to you all. One day you will look back and things will seem better. Xx

Sending hugs to you and I am so sorry you are having to go through this at work , if you did want to take it further and contact your HR dept would it be possible to have a talk with your manager first? Is he or she aware of your situation? xx
