I have to go to work in a couple of hours. I hate going there. I have to deal with constant sexual harassment from my boss. I’m quitting in a few weeks since he treats me like shit as well, he makes me do stuff that he can do, while he sits there watching dramas on his phone. I’m tired of being mistreated for 9 months and having to deal with the harassment without being able to tell anyone.
This morning my mom was awake early and noticed that I hadn’t taken my medicine at the time I’m supposed to so, she made me take it. We’ll see how it goes today after not taking it for a couple of days now.
I have to say that everyday I try to think of a way to just end it all but I’m always afraid. It’s a miracle that I did it 9 months ago but unfortunately and obviously didn’t quite work. I honestly would rather stay at the psych ward than being at home … But the only thing is that they don’t let you have any phones or computers which makes sense.
Well this is all for now. I’ll come back after work and check on all of you and share with you as well.

Why can’t you tell anyone about your boss’ sexual harassment? There are support groups that might be able to help you.
Just an idea… See if the psych ward has any paid or volunteer part time positions. Your experience is valuable and you seem to want to help people who are having similar issues.
I’m really insecure about myself so I wouldn’t know where or how to go at this but I suppose support group is not a bad idea.
I actually been thinking on volunteering at the psych ward, but my family is against me doing that, since they think it might not help with my mental illness -_-
If your family is against it then by all means do it! 🙂
Seriously though, what better place for you to be? Not only could you help people, but you be working around trained professionals that might give you some additional insights about what you’re going through.
Digging up some links to some support groups right now.

It’s going to take some courage to talk to someone about this. I think you can do it. Remember: every woman that stands up to this kind of behavior means that it’s less likely to happen to someone else in the future.
Oh! I’m assuming you are in the US. If not, we’ll try something else.
I’ve thought about it hahah like I don’t care what they think but unfortunately I don’t drive and my mom is the one who always drives me. I know how to drive but she won’t take me to get my license.
Thank you! You didn’t have to look up some links! I appreciate it
Good luck with the medicine, hope that goes okay.
You should definitely tell someone about your boss. About all of it, but particularly the harassment. He shouldn’t be allowed to keep that up and still be working there.
Thank you. I hope so too.
That’s what I’ve been thinking but like I said I’m really insecure and I just feel embarrassed about talking about it and I can’t tell my family since they would overreact and just make everything worse. But you’re right. He shouldn’t be able to keep his business.
You could start by writing it down. I don’t think you’d have to tell your family. Maybe you could have a look online or for support groups and talk to other people who have experienced it. They might be able to help you.
Thank you. I’ll have to look some groups up online and hopefully it could help
Not sure what kind of company you work for I’m guessing its a small business and the boss may be an owner? In that case you should document the infractions and maybe speak to a lawyer. in larger companies they usually have an HR department that you can report the behavior to, the company should have a no-retaliation policy – meaning that no one in the company can retaliate against you for reporting it.
Actually it’s like a little food shop inside a supermarket and my boss is the owner of it and there’s only 2 people currently working which would be me and another lady.
