Hello All!
Well, I'm new to the board. I'm 37 years old, married, with 2 kids. My oldest is 18 and my youngest 12. I search around to find forums that have people who have are suffering with the same issues as me or who can understand what it is I'm going through. I have always worked in a customer service/call center environment. I have never liked working this job, but without a college education it was what I qualified for. I have never been a people person. I know I can not live in this world without any interaction with people, but I don't mind limiting my interaction as much as possible. So imagine how I felt getting back to back calls with customers who complained, whined, cried, nagged, cursed, and screamed at you. Each call felt as if someone took a whip and gave me lash after lash after lash. I could feel the hate and anger boiling up inside of me. I wanted to scream out at the top of my lungs that I could give two you know whats about their phone or water bill. I've been in and out of physical therapy for muscle tension in my neck, back, and shoulders. It felt like I had rocks in my muscles, no lie. I endured this up until October 2013. I was no longer able to deal. I have been told I was depressed years ago, but I never wanted to lay claim to it. My GAF is at 50 which means I am severely depressed. I have to go before the judge tomorrow, but he/she may just tell me what they all say. I'm too young. I fear they will deny me, and I will have to go back to doing what has gotten me out of work now. I know I will snap if I have to go back and work with rude, inconsiderate, ignorant people.
