I am wide awake after sleeping in the evening again and have maxed out my meds for the day... I have no one to talk to especially in the middle of the night and I just feel hopeless and alone...
I keep getting rejected by jobs over and over and I can’t seem to make any friends in this city... all I think about is being alone and broke forever... I have a toxic family, no siblings and no friends, hardly. Very hard to exist like this
Hi! I work night shift so you're always welcome to talk to me when I work! Lol.
Where did you move to, where from? It took me minute to find new friends in a city I was new to. I had a hard time finding a job as well! I know its frustrating. But keep pushing. You got this
Hi! What’s your name? And thanks! I might take you up on that! Anxiety and insomnia are not a fun combination 😳😳
It’s a crazy story that started with depression and drinking but I ended up here (where my dad is) from Boston at the end of 2016 after losing everything there... I have had a hard time here because it is a toxic living situation and the people I hung out with for a while were restaurant workers who party all the time and now I’ve been in church but the small group I was in ended and the friendships didn’t last...so although I technically (a long time ago) grew up here and have been here almost 3 years... it’s not easy making friends! I have none!! It’s sad... it was so easy in Boston I had so many friends immediately by joining a group 😒
Anxiety is such a bummer when it comes to anxiety. I hate it. It makes me think no one likes me!
But I have been in your same position. I hate starting from the bottom. It took a while to build myself back up.
What kind of job are you looking for?
Preferably a job in the legal field as that’s what I plan to go to school for.. my background is real estate.. but honestly any type of office job... marketing...executive assistant... etc... so many interviews and so many “almosts” with no explanation 🤦🏻♀️🙄so discouraging you know
I feel trapped and my living situation is as TOXIC as they get
Real estate? Wow. That's really cool. What's holding you back from moving?
Money 😫a job...
And to your point about starting over.. it’s hard yes, but usually it’s exhilarating for me.. when I went to Boston it was amazing.. but this was a fallback a mistake and coming to the worst possible place as a very last resort after failing... and of course usually when you start over you have a new nice apartment and not in a toxic place where you tried to get away from so it’s just doubly hard you know? And now I’m just exhausted with starting over especially Atlanta I hate Atlanta and I don’t have anything left. I have no more motivation or energy for these job rejections
Oh I live close to there! Its a couple hours away from me. It's so expensive there :/ and yes now I understand why the difficulty of a job is so hard!!!
Hey Ashley. I’m in Atlanta. What part you live in? We can do lunch I got you
Yea it didn’t used to be this hard to get a job 😒so discouraging everyone is a computer # now no more people
Have you tried restaurants? Or hospitals?
Restaurants yes but I can’t work there they drink too much that’s how I got in this mess and made it worse...hospitals no just because I have no experience and am not a medical person... is that what you do?
Yes. I work at a hospital! I take care of patients. But you could try housekeeping? I'm so sorry you're going through that:/ well then hospitals or nursing homes would be good for you!
Hopefully you won't have to stay in the toxic environment too long.
Once you get a job save some $ and get out.
I know right? You wouldn’t think I’d be stuck here 3 years! It’s embarrassing 🤦🏻♀️but all I can do is keep applying and interviewing and try not to get too sad and give up
Don't be embarrassed just keep trying.
You are making a wise choice to be away from other environments that are harmful to you.
Keep up the good work
Thank you. It’s hard to know how to keep interviewing when you don’t know what you’re doing wrong but what choice do you have right? I appreciate the encouragement. Feels so alone here at 2am 🙄😳
Something will come along.
I know it's 2 am here. I live near Boston, small world.
I have to try and sleep! Omg I have to work in the morning. I used to work nights like dbeck. I can't seem to get out of the night shift mode.
Try and get some sleep.
And thanks ☺️
And thank you. What’s your name?
Kim
K, if you need someone to talk to at night I am here. I'm comin' at you from Tampa Bay, Florida. I'm on EST too. Okay? Have a blessed day!
Perfect thanks so much!
Well, Ashley, I'm up every night at some point between midnight and 8am. You can sure talk to me. Just pm me. If I'm a round I'll answer right away. I always thought it would be nice to have a small group of people who talked at night. Used to have such a group. We called ourselves 'NightOwls 'R' Us. Kinda miss it. Anyway, have a blessed day!
Thank you! Yes I’ll definitely take you up on that! Being alone and wide awake in the middle of the night is the worst most anxious feeling!! I have a job interview tomorrow so I’m gonna try to calm down and sleep but the rest of the week I have a feeling I may have the insomnia!
I’m sorry you struggle with the same thing... and talk soon 🙂
Well, I had some internet problems and then had to make a late night run to the store. But, I'm here now. Okay?
First i wanna say your cat is adorable 😁 ive been depressed for some time now and just cant seem to get any sleep besides of having a 5 month old getting up in the middle of the night but then is soo hard to go back to sleep. Is pet sitting an option for you its not much pay but its something i did it for a few years i loved it and seemed to help put a few extra dollars in my pocket on top of another job i had in a grocery store. Anothers option is finding an overnight job. I was a baker for dunkin donuts for a while i enjoyed it no customers i worked by myself . I also dont have much friends they all did their own thing and left me in the dark so i said screw it and did my own thing and moved away and they think im the bad person who left them. Anywho im always up during the night. 😁
Yes me too same here!!!! No friends lonely and stick to loneliness forever
