Workplace Mental Health - all you need to know (for now) | Tom Oxley | TEDxNorwichED

Lovely to see such an encouragement to accept depression, anxiety, and stress. It is indeed a reality that is happening every single day inside a home or a workplace that's why it is important to help out each other in order to get better together, to get through such a rough time together. Such an unhealthy balance of life and work has brought impactful consequences in my life and body, I am in the state to prioritize my health first as it is what I urgently need. Palpitations and hyperventilation aren't a joke and can result in death. I've experienced it all. So, let's prioritize our health more than anything, to prevent such regrets.

As a clinician at a mental healthcare clinic I am acutely aware of stressors that have potential of eroding team cohesion. Having unbiased supportive resources in place and available are critical to avoid burnout and employee dissatisfaction.

My manager told me we don’t have mental health days…

The impression i'm really starting to get at 1 job site is they do not want you to succeed period. My mind is on what i think is the companies focus is productivity/effeciency yet the impression i'm getting is they want you to fail its like they are taking it personally when you are being successful period & they arent worried about the company at all but how they personally feel emotionally feel. I am also starting to get a a feeling theres some sadism in the mix too like they are very happy to make their employees miserable

I work as a store manager for food and beverage….I don’t mind the job but the bosses and colleagues just make it a stressful environment for me.

I had a conversation with my supervisor about my mental health issues and she laughed…

I’m facing so much trauma in my job. I’m not able to work properly due to constant negative feedback I have so many self doubts cause of my supervisor. I just hope I get out of this phase

Many times theres nothing wrong with the individual its the enviroment. Especially with working from home companies. More and more targets unrealistic. Staff feeling like theyre just waiting to slip up and being diciciplined. A toxic culture in too many places

Every time a relative invites me to a party, I have to make an excuse. I am always swamped under with work. By no means, this is going to help me. Day by day I am becoming an anti-social person. Finding a balance between workplace and personal life is very important.

I quit my job … now I’m happy and healthier .

I quit my job at social security services in Austria six years ago. A job where its almost impossible to get fired. No one understood my decision and still when i look back it was the best decision ever. Since then my live got so much better and right now i work for six months and travel for six months every year. I can only advise you: be brave and move on 🎉🎉

The last part actually made me cry. This helps a lot in ways I have been searching for

Didn't Dire Straits write a song about this?

I asked to speak to manager yesterday after I had a bit of a meltdown. I just got looked down on and ignored as a hotheaded know it all. I am not. I've been picked on, harrased for not talking to them. I am struggling so much.

My employer doesn’t have mental health in their vocabulary, and it’s needed where I work. It needs to be a weekly conversation in our workplace. They would think I was crazy if I approached them about this. I’m ready to leave, cause I’ve been struggling with stress in my workplace, and no help resources through them

And who is going to do all the work while I am taking time off? 🤔

Employers want work. Don't care for us.

We don’t talk about work / life boundaries enough. That is the problem. Companies and executives put profits before people every time. Do more with less. Work longer hours, with fewer people to shoulder the load, for the same pay with less benefits. Emails and phone calls at all hours with no thought to it being after normal working hours. There is no separation between work and life anymore. Smartphones are the modern leash that employers have around their employees necks.

So true, yet it feels so far away

I am beyond burnt out and over worked. I got Covid in January so all my PTO is gone and I am so so tired. My work load is unmanageable & well known to be but nothing is changing. I have awful anxiety because I am so overworked. I want out so bad. I can't do it anymore but I jave bills.

Managers should be neutral with all staff..politics in the workplace is a silent issue😕sadly no one wants to tackle it. It’s hard to evidence but actions speak louder than words. Staff are breaking inside due to this toxic culture of politics/ inequality/ favouritism. Staff loose their motivation, confidence in themselves and create a negative environment resulting to stress, burnout and quitting the job.

My current job has cause me so much anxiety and stress. Working in a call center it’s so stressful because people treat you like a punching bag. I’m so ready to start a new path until I can find my calling.

Out workplace had a problem with somebody leaving their poop in the toilet, no flushing.
People were mentally scarred by some of the poop visuals they were forced to witness.

I BE "FLOATIN'"

One of the workplaces with the most pervasive mental health problems is the mental healthcare industry.

Every damn word.

A lot of fluff with no real content.

Dont ever feel bad for leaving a job for something better they dont care about u

I had an appraisal with a manager and i asked the Head of HR to sit in. My manger told me that if he wanted me out of the company he would use my depression against me. The Head of HR sitting next to me did nothing and later denied that my manager had said anything of the sort. Enough said...🤬

I feel like if i dont quit my job, I'm going to seriously lose it with somebody at work or worse i just dont know i definitely am quitting come Friday

The workplace caused mental health issues when they forced experimental medical procedures onto thier employees. You reap what you sow.

I’ve already told my leadership about the stress one of them is causing. Went from two understanding and encouraging me to go to therapy while the third one continues to stress me out, to two acting like I’m a visitor passing through when they see me and the third one continues to stress me out. The whole time, I’m just like “🙉make her stop. I wouldn’t be stressed out and need to go to therapy if you addressed the cause of my stress (the third boss’s behavior).” I can’t even talk to her without her retaliating in some way. She doesn’t listen, she does what she wants to do, she doesn’t care what other people are going through, how they feel, what they think, or how her actions/decisions are stressing the rest of us out. Stress is a symptom of something, just like pain, itching, and grogginess are symptoms of something. Address the cause properly and the symptoms go away.

In conclusion, devils always made chaos in this temporary world actually,be alert, that's why stress issues always exist

Increasing research has shown that working in an office is linked to an increased likelihood of getting Cancer. Working in a office is carcinogenic!! Did I say 'increasing' research . . .

AND the cramped journey to work. Studies have shown that standing upstraight with your hands on your hips for 2 minutes raises testosterone by 20%. Imagine shrinking your energy and musculoskeletal skeleton for 30 mins + on a crowded train - before you get to work each morning!! Oh God please help to enforce hybrid working as a form of social responsibility by companies, for those who prefer it, Amen

This is literally me right now, my mind cannot take it anymore. I finally put in a complaint and I am already looking for a new employment because I should not have to be dealing with egoism.

What are experience on a daily basis at work isn’t even anger, it’s just pure disappointment.

Employers just see it as a negative, I'll never tell an employer again.

Excellent and necessary your tips. Congratulations. We should follow.

Karoshi is a Japanese term meaning "death from overwork"

Daily connecting to the Source/God through any meditation technique is a great way to overcome such stress

Thanks

A commodity is all what we are

I'm a huge victim of social anxiety, especially in a workplace. This is not because of the fact that I live under autism, which is very common, but because I have been difficult to work with other people and I often lack self control. I tried to meditate, exercise, or think of happy thoughts, but social anxiety keeps pushing me back and it's extremely HARD and FRIGHTENING to deal with. I don't control my temper so much, nor do I concentrate, communicate, or behave the way other people are at workplaces. I still handle it today and I don't have the courage to fight it. If there's anyone who can give me advice about how I can deal with this life I'm in, please let me know.

Sometimes you feel stuck because the money is decent and you only have a particular set of skills

Awesome lecture thank you. x

anyone else watching this because they don’t want to go to work and have crippling anxiety
