At work, sometimes I take a bathroom break just to escape. Don't use the bathroom, I just wanna stop looking people I don't care about around me and the noise. I'm not physically tired, since the job isn't demanding that way, but mentally I can't stand it. That's the main problem, it's a warehouse so it's inevitable. In a perfect world I would be almost completely alone and the job would be a 15 minutes from my home at walking speed...

Both of it aren't a reality.

Can you think of a person, real or imaginary that you would love being around? If they worked there with you, would you feel like escaping them? if not, you might have shit coworkers, which can be solved if you find a different job doing the same thing but with different people

edit: sorry you didn't ask for advice, I should have asked if it was ok first. my heart goes out to you. I hope it gets better in there <3

Everyone needs a break, more frequently than most people realize.

I've worked in places where I've really enjoyed my team - still need a break.
