Hard Worker but Cant Keep A Job

[Nanooksmom]

I have always been a hard worker. Whether it was helping around the house growing up or in my own home now as an adult. I go into a situation so hopeful then anxiety and depression kick me in the shins. I end up having to quit or I have gotten fired. Growing up I never imagined myself getting fired or quiting. Those where just not acceptable. I know I am smart and capable. I just cant find the right job for someone like me. The scary question is will I ever? I had a set back this weekend. I tried to refill my meds before I ran out. I contacted the dr and pharmacy still no word. I ran out of pills. The pharmacy said they tried calling twice. Now its the weekend. Ive had to go thru no medication withdrawls. Never have done that before. It was horrible. I had to miss my shifts at work. I hate my job. Its crazy high stress for what it is. Idk what to do. My finacee says since they wont work with me I should quit before being fired. Does anyone have a helpful suggestion? I thought the older I got these symptoms would go away.

Hi my name is Desiree I have been through a lot of that with jobs too and finding a job that will understand that I have a disability and anxiety and not just be like you did this and this is not for you I worked 2 jobs and I worked really hard and one job i was a house keeper and there was garbage left in the room and I got blamed for it right away and I absolutely did not do that I left that room clean but I got fired after like 3 days because the other girls were there longer it’s just like people should have the proof of that crap and just not assume I had another job that I loved and after 3 months they blamed me again no proof they just believed someone who was with them longer they were saying things about me that were not true and I absolutely did not do and fired me and i told them I didn’t do any of those things but they just didn’t have the guts to actually look into it and to this day it hurts my feelings that they just randomly took the word of some young girl who hardly does anything it’s ridiculous and with the anxiety medication call and keep calling the doctors off ask to speak with your doctors nurse or you can try going up to the doctors office and talking to someone to see if they can help I have had that issue probably from 3 to 5 times and now days I call to refill my medication days before I need to so I know if I am down to like 1 or 2 pills that i can go get my other one and not have to worry I am so sorry that you are going through this I know it’s a struggle I am here for you if you need a friend or just someone to talk ok

Hi Nanooksmom, no matter how hard a worker you may be, if you hate your job,

then it's a way of sabotaging yourself. I'm not saying that everyone has a passion

for what they do in bringing home that paycheck, however, when we aren't in the

right fit, things happen.

I'm sure you are smart and capable. Looking for the right job for "someone like you"

puts a negative thought before a positive one has a chance.

You being in a "crazy high stressed job" may not be the right job for you. Money isn't

always the protocol when working. If it maximizes your stress levels, you end up not

being able to carry that stress.

Maybe something more low keyed (and probably lower pay) would help. Working alone

and not in competition with others. Not having high interaction with the public. What you

may like to do in life and what you are ready to take on right now are two different things.

Start slow, build up some tolerance and things might settle down.

Try not to focus on too many things at once, our brain goes haywire and gets unsettling

when we do. Slow and Easy is the way. Keep reaching out to this site to see what

others do in making it through. My best to you xx
