Discussion Do you have a job ?

[Painless_end]

What kind of job do you have ?

What issues are you facing which led you to this site despite having a job ?

 

[Huntfish34]

I help to make various metal signs and logos in a manufacturing plant. Been there for about 8yrs now which I'm Trying to be greatful for but .... With manipulative Bitch bosses , dickhead Fucks along with a couple co-workers;. It makes it extremely hard for me and my sick mind which I battle constantly, Day in and day out.

I've been thinking about quitting for a few years already but never made the move,. I hope it all works out but it's not looking good at All.. Waking up around 4 am , driving there, . throughout the day . I'm mostly focused on me being Gone,. That it's not worth the constant resentments and Outright hatred which I have for myself too. Fck I hate it,. Such a vicious cycle.

I used to work at a discount tool store for 6 years until i hurt my back and got depressed over it. They put me on leave and one day I got a letter saying don't come back.

Healthcare, ironically. Seeing people treated like things by the system is incredibly demoralizing. I have to literally drag my body to my workplace where I count down the minutes until I can crawl into bed for a sleepless night. I'm trash in the hierarchy as well and am treated as such by my colleagues.

 

[Bootleg Astolfo]

I have a job landscaping , it literally helps in no way shape or form with my issues of being unwanted trash, it just makes it worse by leaving me with absolutly no energy whatsoever to do anything about it. And of course nothing or no one at work is willing to help in anyway shape or form. Highkey just gonna go back to being a neet once that bullshit contract's over lol.

 

[FutureNoomp]

Nope. I hate working its a disease.

 

[Painless_end]

Nope. I hate working its a disease.

I also hate working. But why do you call it a disease ?

 

[FutureNoomp]

It is cancer. Cancer is a disease

 

[Painless_end]

It is cancer. Cancer is a disease

I am sorry I am confused. Are you saying you have cancer ?

 

[Littlepaws]

Healthcare.

Hopefully not for much longer though. If you know what I mean.

 

[deadverysoon]

[WantToQuit]

I'm on a disability pension due to my mental diagnosis (schizoaffective disorder).

 

[Eadamk]

I work in pharmaceutical research. I used to feel like I was doing something useful. My wife died suddenly June 2020 . Now I'm going through the motions. Im just existing

 

[everydayiloveyou]

Yes. I teach classes right now. Really regret taking this job, it's almost worse than retail

 

[Sittichmutter]

I work at pharmaceutical industry. But I would rather have my own business.

 

[FuneralCry]

No. I hate the idea of working, it is being a slave to the society. There is nothing I am capable of doing. There is nothing I am interested in doing. The only thing I want is to not exist.

 

[FutureNoomp]

I am sorry I am confused. Are you saying you have cancer

No I don't

 

[ClownMe]

I work at KFC at the moment and have had many other jobs in the past. The reason im on this site despite having a job is because having a job and making money doesn't make me happy, a job is nothing special, you're just a minimum wage slave making some big cat richer and as cliche as it sounds, money doesn't buy happiness, I could be a millionaire and I would still be suicidal.

 

[rationaltake]

I did library work. Part-time and still a tremendous struggle. Then came lockdown in Mar 2020. I wasn't in a state to go back when things reopened six months later and I haven't worked since.

 

[MrOptions]

Information Technology.

 

[meetapple]

I used to work for my father who is a doctor. He retired and I haven't worked since despite having a law degree.

 

[peacefulhorizons]

I'm a student so no. I am not in a position with my mental health and life circumstances to work part-time in addition atm tbh.

 

[Seafoam]

I currently work retail :') kill me.

 

[Maaizr]

2 jobs actually lmao - main job is machine operator at a truck parts plant, part-time is clerk at a pharmacy

 

[Caramelized]

I currently work retail :') kill me.

Same. Being at the general public's beck and call is ass. Wait....does working in fast food even count as retail? Well, regardless the struggles are very similar! (ㆆ_ㆆ)

 

[TotallyIsolated]

I work in software. I was out of a job for over a year because I was too depressed to work, but I managed to get back on the wagon. I'm fairly sure I could get a better salary in the city, but as long as I can pay the rent I prefer a more mellow working environment. A friend earns like 5x as much as me writing code for a major bank, but it sounds stressful and I don't have the confidence in my own abilities.

I'm on disability for depression. I wouldn't mind working but I don't have experience or references or anything really. I'm sure I could make up stuff and lie through my teeth into a job but, I just don't see the reason to. I got sleep issues, I can't handle being out in the world for long periods of time, I would lose my disability, I can't afford a fucking car. Its just this huge mountain of problems I'd have to overcome ultimately for things to still completely suck.

How hard was it to get on disability for depression? How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

I will soon be 30, I got on disability about....Five years ago, I'm not sure. It was bewildering. When I first applied for it, I got denied, they sent a letter, so I went to see a lawyer about it, and with him I went and fought the decision. Him, me, a judge, and one other person (I guess the stenographer) sat in a small room and she decided to overturn the decision and grant me the disability. This hearing lasted less than 10 minutes.

I could be completely wrong, but what my intuition tells me is that they would decline pretty much anyone the first time you apply, but when you fight the decision, they cave.

Probably unemployable, but a postgrad student this year.
