Frustrated

[HippieLife]

It seems like no matter what I do I just can't get ahead in life! I just finished training at a new job (which was nerve wrecking in itself) and now I have to resign because the only ride I had can't take me anymore. I can feel depression creeping back up on me. I seriously hate my life right now.

Your situation reminds me of my daughter because she had a problem getting back and forth to work after her car was totaled. She doesn't usually have anxiety or depression but It was really bringing her down. As I told her, you need to figure out a workplace where you're not dependent on someone else ( she lives hundreds of miles from me). The first requirement in finding a new job is reliable transportation. That is absolutely no reflection on you as a person whatsoever. Unfortunately now she has to spend 2 hours on the bus/train both ways for a not-so-stellar job and she hates it but she's adjusting. I hope you live in an area where there is at least public transit available so you might be able to save up some money to eventually improve your circumstances.

Thanks. Unfortunately theres no public transportation that goes anywhere near my job. I'm looking for something closer. Its very stressful because I like the job I have now because they have no problem working around whatever schedule you have. I've found a ride for this week, but I'm dreading finding nexts week's rides.

My daughter texted this morning and said she can't take it anymore so I guess she's not adjusting so well either. I hope you can work it out, that stinks.

Thanks. I hope things get better for your daughter.
