Yes. It happens to me as well. Several times already. That's why i signed up for professional psychotherapy, where the patient (not the public insurance company) pays for everything. Hopefully he'll get me on antidepressants. I miss those pills more than most things.
Oh no, let me tell you something I learned the hard way: NOTHING is anonymous when you're at work. Nothing. Even if they tell you it's anonymous? It's not; it never is. That's just a lie they tell you. So when you report anything, just realize that they will know it's you, even if they say otherwise.
If you put in something "anonymously" on a computer, they will still know it's you. HR has even confirmed that to me in the past.
Big changes hurt. Good and bad. Be proud of yourself to want to make a better life for yourself, and having the courage to do it. What you did was for you.
Not depressed but exhausted. You sometimes have to summon (I don't really care for this word) every ounce of what makes you an authentic human being to do the right thing.
I would not say depressed but often confused. If I found a wallet with a lot of money in it I would track down the owner and return it even if I was broke and then afterwards I would be sitting in my house wondering where I will get the money to pay the rent and wonder if I was stupid to give the money back.
i went through this and mine was a a state prison where i supervised 80 inmates in the culinary department (cook) my boss created a hostile working environment with for me with inmates who were i believe trying to shank me. All because i requested to be accommodated under the Americans with disabilities act. I was treated worse than the inmates. That put me in a depression but made my peace with it through the Lord
ou work in healthcare so you see the effects of trauma. As a Search and Rescue Specialist in Vietnam, some men I pulled out were so badly damaged that by the time I got to them they were gasping their last breaths. To see the tears of grown men as they watched their comrades dying has been a recurring nightmare for me for 50 plus years.
When things get bad, I isolate myself so I don't take my issues out on other people. One psychiatrist, I went to early on when my final option seemed inevitable, said to me. "Why would you want to do what the Vietcong couldn't do?" That's what has kept me alive this long.
Hmm, that's exactly what I've been doing all weekend: isolating myself and brooding. I rather not stress out my friends and family so I just sleep, keep to myself, and try to cheer myself up.
I'm glad you didn't give up and you're still around!

Yep. I work in childcare and once I had to report my manager for neglecting her baby. I felt so guilty but I knew I had to protect the baby
Oh wow! I know that had to be hard for you. That's awesome you did the right thing, but still difficult at the same time
It was worse because it was meant to be anonymous and then the person I reported it to told her it was me

It’s hard to do anything beneficial that way isn’t it
Unfortunately. When you're reporting an issue at work, even if they claim it's anonymous, they can track who you are: all for legal reasons.
So when the accused asks who reported them, they can find out. It shouldn't be that way!
That's why most work issues go unreported: fear of repercussions if they find out it was you
I faced an exact same scenario as you did. I left the job to. I was upset for a while but never regretted doing it.
Oh thank you! That does make me feel a little better. It's hard but I know I need to do this
I lost a huge amount of yearly pay to get away from my last job. It was well worth it though. Just to get away from the stress.
Sometimes your health and happiness is more important than money. At least you're doing better now
Yes I most certainly am. I hope your situation gets better.

Ever suffer from PTSD?
No, thankfully not.
But I work in healthcare and several of our patients we see do. I can only imagine how hard that must be on people that do.

Oh gosh, that is traumatic! I can't even imagine what you went through. How do you cope?
