Do you currently hold a job?

[ShadowsFall]

Unfortunately due to previous extensive job history and other factors, it is rather difficult for me to find and keep a standard 9 to 5 job. Right now I work as a Full-time independent contractor for both Uber and Doordash delivering food in a major metropolitan area by bike. Some days are good, other days are absolutely shit. Regardless, it pays the rent and bills.

 

[thx1138]

Yes, I work from home. Thank god for the pandemic!!! God, I wish it was more accepted to work from home, but it's getting more common at least. My job is very unremarkable. My mental health is shit, but I feel so grateful for the job. Without any job or money, I would be in huge trouble because I'm from a poor family/country. I suck at my job and sometimes I can barely work, but at least it's there.

It is better, but your original fuck all comment is still absurd. I feel pressured here to just speak plainly lol, sorry. I've worked hard since I came out of a 2 year programming course, and my software engineer brother works harder than me.

Off topic sorry:

Can you elaborate on the programming course you did? We're you able to find a job in the industry

 

[girlsboysthems]

yes, i am a workaholic and if I didn't work I would probably kill myself because of the thoughts inside my head.

 

[Ghostofthepast]

I did and got fired because of my ex only one too out of that problem haven't had work since last June and honestly I feel useless and hopeless and just have no drive anymore

I found a job programming for Flutter and Android apps. Very easily.

The course I did was Python for everybody with Dr Chuck.

 

[Sadgirldaisy]

Yes, but it's like 80-90% of why I'm suicidal

 

[volnaya_pesnya]

Due to my psychological condition, it has not been possible for me to leave the apartment for years. What is your situation like, do you guys work?

i work in a job i hate and am bad at, with coworkers who hate me because im too stupid to do my job right

 

[FieldsofLavender]

I don't have a job because I can't really leave my room much...

I'm really sorry to hear that... That sounds awful... (Also, I loooove WoH, what a great pfp, Miku rocks! I was so hyped when I saw it's coming to switch, I've been follow it for ages!!)

 

[kanashikunaika]

I have a job and I'm going to school full-time. Being constantly busy helps keep my mind occupied and keeps me on track. If I don't have somewhere to be I just stay asleep in bed all day, 'cuz I don't have the motivation to do anything. My job is really nice though, I work as an A/V tech for sports games, which can be really loud, but I'm essentially paid to sit and do nothing each shift while I watch sports in the background. Though for some reason, I'm looking to get a second job, because I'm insane I want to make sure I can still pay for my apartment. The American economy is my biggest fear.

[TCotton]

No I'm a contractor and looking for work now. The contract market at the moment is awful

 

[never mind me]

I work part-time and I'm glad I do. Even working part time feels like having barely enough time for myself. Plus my job can be emotionally draining (although I generally like it) and it would probably completely destroy me, if I worked full time. Even as it is, I often need to remind myself that I only need to live like this for a certain amount of time in order to save money and then I can quit, if I'm too fed up with it and enjoy again plenty of time doing outdoorsy stuff and/or travelling.

 

[Source Energy]

I have a job that I love, but management that I hate. It's challenging, at best.

 

[bijou]

i work retail, 1-2 shifts a week currently, easy work especially when it's dead…coworkers are nice, and management is accommodating for me.

going to school next year, so this will change…

 

[Domika]

Oh I work alright, and it's one of the main reasons I've even found myself on this board.

It's a job that drains me, and if I could quit I would but the ammount of problems that would arise from that would just hurt me more...

 

[toro]

to be honest getting a job was the best thing i ever did for my mental health LMFAO, being on a nice constant schedule everyday just feels amazing, and knowing that i get paid for it too and im happy with the arrangment. its gotten to the point where i feel kind of lost when we get holidays off, im just fidgeting because theres nothing to DO and it kills me LMFAO

 

[valkyrie]

Yeah.
i don't really mind I just try to shut off my brain and do my little tasks and my job and try not to get in trouble.
Need the money and need to feel useful

 

[nembutal]

i wish i could find the energy to work again but i can barely get up the stairs without having heart palpitations. the only time i worked rather effectively was when i was 16-18 at the beginning of my mental downfall and on adderall.
