Bad decisions ruined my life

[cb934586]

Three times I quit my job without knowing what I would do next. I lied on a job interview about something stupid and lost the job. Now I am broken. I will never be the same again.

Hello. Please tell a little more about how your decisions and how anxiety and depression influenced or interacted with your decisions. Might give members of the venue how they can be of help to you.

You're right- you won't be the same , but life has its ups and downs- you got here for a reason. At least you have a sense of reality. I hope that you have a supportive group of people and can see a counselor as well. Sometimes depression can lead to poor decisions- I know! At any rate today is a brand new day and here is an example of a cbt cognition- negative: I did something wrong. Positive: I can learn from it. Also, are you a teen or a very young adult? If so you have the whole of life ahead to you. Think in small steps: 1. You woke up, 2. You have the ability to communicate 3. The reminders of something you did are helping you to grow . Feel free to message me.

I have quit several several several jobs over seemingly nothing. My anxiety starts flaring up and I feel like everyone is against me so I quit. In my most recent job, the employees were exclusively Hispanic, with the exception of one person. I knew they were ripping on me and talking crap about me all day. I tried ignoring it but eventually I broke and walked out.

I know a thing or two about bad decisions. I went to a trade school and spent like 3 years of my life pursuing the electrical trade. At first it was great. Sort of the same thing happened, where I felt very out of place on job sites. I'm half Mexican but I'm essentially a white person. I didn't fit in there. Job stress caused me drop out and I quit the job shortly after.

Everything I worked for was for nothing. Now I'm a dishwasher, and today I'll be interviewing for my third dishwasher job. It's all I can handle. I'd like to go back and try to make more money but my job history is shot, and I know I'd be wasting their time.

I'm doing what I can to take care of myself mentally, even if it doesn't seem like the best thing to other people. Take care of yourself. Things don't always go as planned but as long as you take care of yourself, and listen to your body and your mind, then you'll make it through this cb934586.

Maybe you can chalk it up to a learning experience. Don't lie on your application. I struggle with that too though, to disclose or not to disclose.... If I don't, is that a lie of omission? Or is it non of their business?! If I don't bring mental illness out of the deep dark closet, WHO WILL?!! WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO DO THIS?! ITS TOO HARD. Was that helpful? LOL

I make these decisions because running away is easier than facing it. For the short term it helps my anxiety. I am trying to get it back together. I know two very nice men I am friends with in my apartment, but they both have other female friends and will be moving out. I could go to Wisconsin and buy a condo there and live affordably. I don't have family there. My family is spread out in the US in expensive places usually.
