Hi, I've been working in Japan at this job for about three years now about 70% of the employees are
foreign and I have been consistently excluded and sidelined everywhere. I'm talking rude comments, inviting everyone out but me, getting ignored every single day and also sidelined in my actual work. I was able to ignore it for the longest time but now it's getting too much, I am constantly sick, I have lost my ability to calm down and regulate myself outside of work. But worst of all I have seemed to have developed hypersomnia, so I am sleeping 8-9 hours a night but never getting any actual rest and during weekends I crash out completey and spend most of the time in bed (which is the last thing I want to do but it never gets better).
Naturally I am trying to get out of here and find a job but it's overwhelmingly difficult due to my state of constant stress, physical symptoms and total inability to get restorative sleep. I have both a counselor and psychiatrist and I'm going to try and get a diagnosis and doctor's note to get leave. That way I have a chance to rest, kick some bad habits and accelerate my job hunt. Has anybody else done this before? How did it go for you?
