You’re going through significant emotional strain from your workplace, and it’s taking a toll on both your mind and daily functioning. The persistent anxiety, crying spells, hopelessness, and suicidal thoughts show that this environment is harmful for you and cannot be brushed aside. Right now, the first priority is your safety if the suicidal thoughts intensify, please reach out immediately to a helpline, a trusted person, or emergency services.
What you’re experiencing is not a weakness but a reaction to a toxic, unsupportive environment. Since your boss dismissed your concerns, it’s clear this space is unlikely to change, so instead of trying to “adjust,” focus on protecting yourself. In the short term, lean on coping practices like journaling before work, calming your body through breathing or music, and detaching emotionally from gossip and unnecessary tasks. These won’t fix the problem but can reduce daily overwhelm.
At the same time, start preparing your way out. Quietly updating your CV, applying for other opportunities, and reminding yourself that this job does not define your worth will give you a sense of choice instead of feeling trapped. Therapy can support you in processing these emotions, building resilience, and stopping hopeless cycles.
In simple terms protect your mental health first, treat this job as temporary, and take steady steps toward an exit plan. That’s the path to regaining stability and happiness.
