When I first heard the phrase "Depression can sometimes be repressed anger", it was like the stars aligned. I couldn't unsee the things I was angry about, but often I was told that "that's just how it is" or that there are bigger problems or that it wasn't actually a problem so I would then try not to be angry and would then find myself on the slippery slope down to feeling like there was no hope.

When you walk into a workplace that has its values written on the wall and one of them is "flexibility" you would imagine that you would be able to ask for some adjustments in your work hours and be respected and treated equally while taking those adjustments, but that is not always the case. In my experience, about half the companies that preach flexibility actually give it and the other half use it as a tactic to get people in and then punish them for taking flexibility that they originally offered. In this episode, I talk about how this can come up. Unfortunately, I do not have a solution for you right now but I do have a few things you can try to see if they can create some change in your situation.

I have overworked myself, so this is a short description because I am exhausted xx

Over time, we learn things, some on purpose, some when we are in survival mode, some through society's programming and some from our families and teachers.

So often, we find ourselves making excuses for other people's behaviour, whether it is a 'teaching method' or they are having a bad day, which turns into a bad few months. It's important to check in and see if it is bullying. It may have been happening so long that you are 'used' to it, but really, you are going to work with your guard up, ready to dodge any hurtful things that are being said to you. In this episode, I explain how to check in and see if something is crossing a line (everyone's line is different) and how to have a conversation to create change.
