Yes, you are very right. I don’t have the opportunity yet and I‘m dependent on the job rn but I’m working on it. Until then my Art is helping me cope.

I feel you. So much. I wish I could quit but I need to tough it out some more.

I really try to see the best in everyone and think everyone has a good side to them. But recently I‘ve come to terms with that not being true. Some people are just awful because that’s just who they are and it made me aware that strong boundaries are a big survival tool inside and outside of my job.

Keeping the bad ones out will give you more energy to spend on the good ones. I try to remember that.

Sending you and your kid lots of love. Being open about my struggles and having a good support system and loving mother has always helped me keep my head above the water. And it makes me try to be the best version of myself even in my darkest moments. She’s always been my beacon of hope so I owe it to her.

All the best x

I‘m very sorry for your loss and send you all my compassion and love. I‘m sorry if this was triggering to you and I understand your point.

I‘m struggling a lot myself, dealing with bad depression and suicidal thoughts. I‘m sharing my feelings and thoughts in a painting. This is my way of dealing with it as an Artist. And my job is one of the main sources of my depression. Getting abused and harassed on a daily basis.

Again, I feel a lot of compassion for you and wish you all the best.

Thank you too. It’s definitely tough trying to let go off all the negativity and verbal abuse. I‘m an Artist first and foremost but atm I still need a day job to survive. Talking about it and sharing my Art is a big relief and knowing others have been there too helps ease the pain a little.

And are you still working at call Centers? What are you doing now? :)

It´s not the job per se that is draining, it’s the people that call. Lol
