My #Daydream seems like a #nightmare

I have a #Daydream where I find the right #Job and lose my #unemployment and work 40 hours a week. It sounds like a #nightmare because a 40 hour work week is #scary for me. It takes away so much time from #Selfcare and #Recovery that it brings me to a point of #tears .

I began to do the whole #comparing myself to others and #Wondering why I could not be like another. I truly feel #helpless whenever I become #jobless

It is difficult for me to find a #Job that can work with a #Disability and not feel #stigmitized by my #employer secretly. I feel like I am this cat in the photo, in my own #World where everything around me is just blowing up. It is not that I do not #Care anymore, but it is that there is only so much I can do. I might as well take normal pictures along the way and try to be as #normal in my #Abnormal world possible.

Perhaps a "vocational" center will be #helpfull in finding a #Career rather than just a job... But I do not know how much #Stigma exists. I suppose I am just #afraid and at the same time #Brave for keeping applying and trying.

Wish me #luck !

#jobless Again

Hello Everyone. The past two jobs I recently had are #gone now. I feel like I cannot keep a #Job more than 6 months to a year these days. I am #embarassed beyond belief. A lot of times these events that lead up to my #termination of employment are because of the stupid events that happen. These past two jobs and why I left were actually not my #fault this time. Well, maybe. One of them said I was unable to #learn the material in such a short amount of time. The other is that I was acting #emotional in the workplace. This time.. I wasn't!

Now... I am #struggling I could really use some #encouragement

Please #help me.

Anyone have tips for coping for not being able to keep a job, or if you haven’t had one in a long time?

The Power of Love

How do I put into words what it is that I am feeling right now? I am confused and wishing I could be just neutral.

I went shopping a little while ago, and on my way home my husband called me. He told me I should not have went shopping and spent money. I bought him some things for father's day and when I mentioned I got him some things, he became upset. It is because I don't have a job. He was upset with me about us having one income and going shopping.

He told me to not put up roadblocks into me finding a job, or doing what it is that I want to do. Professionalism is not something that comes easy for me, and with my mental health issues it's harder than that of a person without them. It is not an excuse to stay where I am, but it does not make it as easy as someone else's level of difficulty. I know everyone experiences difficulties. I swear it will be OK. I just have to find something that I love to do and go for it.

Today is a day of mixed emotions. It's driving me nuts... But it's something that I have to deal with. I am hoping for a better tomorrow since today is a Mix of a Mess and a Blessing.

Take Care.

Thoughts that Control

How do I put into words what my thoughts bring to me? There were times were my therapist in the past would tell me that all feelings come from thoughts.

But what if what you're feeling can inspire what you are thinking instead? Humm.

Today I thought about my memorial day weekend. Yesterday was good because I went food shopping. It was amazing because I did not "freak out" at the store. Usually I order my groceries and pick them up, but otherwise when I go with someone to grocery shop I do not feel bad. What did you guys do over the weekend???

How do you deal with feeling useless and purposeless when you're unable to work due to mental health issues? #jobless #useless #MajorDepression

I had to resign from my job back in June due to major depression/insomnia and being unable to function. After some med adjustments I am slowly starting to feel a bit better. I am terrified of finding a new job, or even putting myself back out there. Feeling pretty purposeless and rudderless at the moment and wondering if anyone had any words of guidance for someone feeling like starting over is a monumental undertaking or even where to begin. I feel like I've been such a shut-in for so long. Please help! #Anxiety #startingover #Jobhunting #scared #anxious #wheretobegin

Broke

I think I’m about to lose my job and I have bills to pay. I have no car, no call backs and no money at this point. What should I do until a get a new job for extra money?

jobs

I want a job. Who would hire someone who would at any moment have to have surgery and be gone for a month. No one. And I wouldn’t blame them. I just can’t believe I might never have a full time job again. #KidneyDisease #Work #jobless

Lost my job today 💔 #jobless #Hopless #sad #angry

Just lost at this point! I'm 38 and have NEVER been fired from a job in my LIFE! I have no idea how to prove it but it's because I've missed work, on approved Intermittent Leave of Absence for my son's Autism! They are claiming I'm not able to keep up with my workload , which I was, because of my absences.. but my absences are covered and I have done everything in my power to work weekends, go in early/ stay late and work through ALL of my lunches to keep up and I am! We have another team member that dealt with breast cancer, never went on FMLA and is consistently behind me with her work but she's never even been talked to about her work. My supervisors boss does NOT like me and hasn't since the day he started. While walking out with my supervisor who hadn't said anything other than reading through her paperwork I asked her so are we not even allowed to talk? She said she was just trying to keep it together; that her heart was pounding and she was about to cry. I looked at her and said 'It was Derrick wasn't it?' She put her head down and just whispered that she couldn't say anything. Y'all this is a large city that I worked for... my mind is just spinning right now and yes there's di much more that led up to this but it's ALL regarding absences covered under FMLA. Thanks all! Just needed to vent and I appreciate being allowed to do so here! ❤
