omg this happens with my company sometimes and there's at least a dozen people in my org that will send the same damn email.

"I shouldn't have been included in this email" over and over again with others saying "stop replying all!"

I think one time it happened we got spammed with about 30 emails from various idiots.

I did this once. I faxed a bid to our competitors with full R&D and pricing details. I also IMMEDIATELY realized my mistake. I called the competitor, and as soon as I id'd myself, the receptionist says, "No worries, I shredded it already"...ladies looking out for ladies!!

Within one day, your competitor created a similar project? And how did you find that out? Also, legal aid was involved almost immediately and resolved over a couple weeks?

Fun bit of fiction. Not a TIFU.

I may not have been as clear as I meant to be, I have been diagnosed with a severe depression already and been prescribed antidepressants but at best I felt no different and at worst just got the temporary down that you get for the first 6 weeks lasting months before I gave up on trying to use medication. For therapy through the NHS you have to be referred by your doctor.

I am definitely being too hard on my myself personally but I would be out for blood had someone else spoke to my team leader like I did so I think that is contributing to it.

My only hope is that she is able to at least forgive me enough to still work with me but I also accept if she doesn't get there.

I admire your willingness to take responsibility for your actions, because yes, ultimately our mental health is our own responsibility. However, it also sounds like you are being extremely hard on yourself, which can also be a symptom of many depressive disorders. It sounds like your manager is being very understanding of the situation, and from the way you have described what happened this was something that would have made A LOT of people snap. Please don't come down on yourself harder than you need to. Give yourself a chance to right this - go to the meeting and talk about it. Be honest and open, and listen to what the team has to say. The very fact that you are willing to try to make this right means you are on the right track here, so give yourself credit where credit is due. đź–¤

The main point of the meetings were about assisting with my mental health in the office. Making sure that I'm going in the right directions, the first thing that did come from it was using an occupational health for stress in the office. They called today just after posting this and I requested that we do it another day because I didn't have the capacity to deal with it.

The meeting with my manager tomorrow isn't to discuss a punishment but to allow her to step in and take the next steps. I don't think I'll be fired for this but I do feel that I shouldn't be in the team if this is how I'm acting however if I do get fired then I accept that because I did wrong

Edit: Sorry, I forgot to mention. Yeah, it's the UK in England specifically

I know this is a place to vent and all, not so much a place for advice, but I gotta ask... Does your job offer any sort of mental health counseling? I'm not familiar with the way it works in the UK (which going by the mention of the NHS, I'm assuming is where you are), but I know some places here in the US will offer that and if you talk with the manager about the situation there may be some mitigation in that... like you may be able to get back into some type of therapy through them and it may help you keep your job, though obviously not consequence free. Most places aren't just going to fire you willy-nilly if the issue is mental health related, unless the issue was violent/a safety issue. Just putting that out there, and hoping for the best for you... I know what it's like to be so overwhelmed it comes out accidentally in the workplace. My support to you.

Dear lord, can a single one of these replies actually consider that a girl /may not want/ to see the fact that her boyfriend looks at half naked women on Instagram /any time he opens the app./ your feed on there is DIRECTLY affected by what you’re looking at/clicking on/liking/whatever. A girl doesn’t have to be insecure or a prude to not want to see her boyfriends insta filled with other women?? Half of y’all wouldn’t even be okay with your girl’s Instagram being filled with half naked men either, while still calling the girls who do care “insecure” for caring about such things. Every relationship is different, in some this is perfectly okay, and some it’s off limits. In some relationships, girls will send their bfs pictures of hot women lmao. But it’s up for you AND your partner to decide those things. Not just for you to act like it’s fine and she should just be cool with it. Those things are to be discussed if they come up, and your partner’s feelings SHOULD matter. No matter how important looking at Instagram models is for you. Jfc.

ETA: there is absolutely nothing wrong with consuming adult content online/looking at sexy ladies on the internet/whatever. But relationships have boundaries, and there’s a time and place for everything. If for your partner, that time and place is NOT in front of them, that should be respected! And if they don’t like seeing it on Instagram every time you open the app, that’s a conversation to be had with them. :)
