Relieved after much stress and negative feelings about situation and myself I decided to give two weeks notice at this job I've been at for a month. When they asked why I was honest, bcz I need to be trained more before being expected to pick up everything in their systems, and having to work on my own time, like weekends to do trainings where I have to take tests and write essays, unpaid. My son says it's illegal. There are other reasons too. I'm lucky to be able to go back to my old job when I called my boss, she said my position hasn't been filled.

That takes a lot of courage. You tried something new and it wasn't right, but weren't afraid to say no and turn back. Some jobs really expect too much. I hope you can return to the old job with fresh eyes and appreciate and enjoy it. Good luck with your old job 😎

Right now I feel so unbelievably screwed that I’m going to have to forget there is a future and focus on things like self care. I’m starting to not want to brush my teeth, and that’s usually the last part of daily hygiene that falls away when I’m in severe depression. I don’t feel particularly bad, exactly, it’s more like I am really bad at feeling in the first place.

Thanks to those that said \i'm not a failure, but knowing myself i am. If i had been a better mother my sons wouldn't be struggling so much. My older doesn't talk much. I called him tonight, and when he does open up it means something. He said '''I'm thinking of living out of my car, I cant make it work'' like the rest of humanity, the majority are suffering with rising costs of housing and groceries and taxes on everything higher. I told him my plan is to cut my disability off at the end of next month. I don't care about the money, I always wanted my sons to have whatever I might end up with. My disability doesn't allow me to just give it away, I already did with what I was allowed to keep for myself, so fuck it all, I'm telling her to cut me off. Then when I reapply my psychiatrist is understanding, I'm sure he can convince them I wasn't myself at the time and did it because of my depression and concern for my sons. My worker already said I cant gift money and they'll look at every dollar i spend. I dont care. My sons lives matter more. I dont want to be around at 65 when I wont afford a place at all, I want to see them get some help. He has debt he cant help, so at least that will be off of his shoulders, and my younger is struggling in a dump of a room on welfare that doesn't give him enough at all to survive. I fell, my arm hurts. I took something for stomach pain. I'm just sick of my life amounting to nothing. What will make me happy is my sons seeing a bit of a better future for themselves. It's not a lot, but enough to get them on a better road than they are on now. i want to see my grandson. I'm going to tell my younger there's money for him but only if he gets of his arse and gets a job.

Pretty blah and worried, also maybe still in a bit of shock about my sis moving so much further away in about a month and a half. I might have gotten the news about “where” they’ll be moving to a couple weeks ago now (same day I first started feeling sick) but ya I really think I’m still in shock about it. Feels like a very big and overwhelming change and I just really wish there was a way to “know” that my mom, kitty and I will all be ok no matter what happens.

I’m too afraid of death and there are lots of things I like about life but ya this is definitely making me feel very afraid and worried about our future. Just don’t know what to do right now I guess. Feeling tired of feeling so restless too. Trying as always to stay positive and hopeful about things but it is very challenging with these changes right now.

I'm glad for you that you could give up that job that was doing you more harm than good, I wish you the best going back to your old job hugs

I feel like an antilope being devoured by a crocodile that is life. And my suffering is life - nature itself, like waves crushing stones, like planets getting smashed by asteroids.
I wish something would smash me in the head until I am dead though.
Sorry your life is like that. Wish it'd stop maing you suffer so bad. coorneredrat I hope things can change for you for the better.

I just looked through Facebook and found the profiles of a couple of people I remembered from the youth shelter I lived in like a decade ago. I'm sad, happy, nostalgic, and a lot of other things. I'm upset thinking of how much easier my life could have been if I hadn't had to go through some of the hardships. I'm proud of what I've gotten through and accomplished at this point. I sometimes feel like I don't deserve to be doing so well. I miss San Francisco. I'm excited about the future. So many things.
