Problems at work

AC
Hi. I'm currently about 8 months into the painfully slow waiting list for assessment.
I'm finding problems at work insofar as I have a fairly complex piece of work to do, however am seriously struggling to get on with it. The company is amazing, I enjoy the work, and I am keen on doing a good job. My problem is I cannot find the will to state my problem, or to ask for help. I know I need to, but an irrational barrier prevents me. I often find that I subconsciously resort to encoding my 'cries for assistance' into coversations/emails to my manager and/or teammates, but they are seemingly too obfuscated to be recognisable as such.
The company have an employee assistance programme - an anonymous phone service - but again, I cannot find the impetus to pick up the phone and start from the beginning. Furthemore, I frequently feel like a fraud in this regard.
Just wondering: a) how I can give myself the requisite kick up the backside to make the call, or b) Am I alone in this behaviour?

  • depends what your problem is?

    if its just you need to express some feeling you have about work you can do so here and perhaps that will give you the release you desire the same way as phoning the employee line?

    you shouldnt feel like a fraud as most people dont actually want to work and work likely is the main cause for depression and pointlessness in life. your not your own person at work, you dont have control of your lifes time, you feel forced to be there every day while you perhaps want to be there some days but not the amount of time and days it demands of you. you likely want more freedom in your life and freedom to use your own time but the way the economic system is set up doesnt allow for that and requires you to sell all your lifes time in that same repetitive place every day.

    or likely you have other issues.

    i myself have had trouble with my supervisor who im reporting for bullying and will likely get fired for soon if it goes badly for me haha
    work as it is can be tolerable if you get on and like your colleagues, but when you have a boss whos demanding and belittles you and praises people for doing less while criticises you when you do more and faster and better and treats you worse then it really kills any motivation in the job and makes it annoying and stressful more than it should do. perhaps you have a issue like that too. that feel of not being appreciated for clearly doing better but yet people who do worse get treated better.
