how real is joy, anyway?...

The past few weeks it feels like I've just been getting worse and worse... I feel like I can't even handle my part time job, I'm meant to be working up to being a real, functional adult, but I dread every shift, every hour spent there... I spend nearly the whole shift every time in a refrigerated room, something particularly hard for me as I'm really sensitive to cold, but there's almost nowhere else I can go for a job because I've had my license revoked because of my near constant hallucinations... Just... I feel so... miserable, ehehe... I had to take today off for a doctor's appointment, I was even just a little bit excited for two straight days off, I thought I might be able to even rest enough to feel rested, but then my boss said he's moving my shift to tomorrow, and my dad was like "That's a good thing, right? More hours!" and I'm like, no, I don't want to work, I want to die, every single day feels like torture because I have to wake up at a time that feels so awful for me, I have to work in a room that is physically painful to be in, and then when I get home I have to choose between resting or doing things that should be fun but it feels like I'm always too exhausted to really fully enjoy things, and then I either go to bed early and wake up early enough to do things in the day but miss my time with my only real friends who live on the opposite side of the earth and are only up at night for me, or I stay up just a little bit to be with them and sleep through my whole free day, and no matter what I choose it never feels like it actually rests me, and then I always have to go to bed before I can do anything with my friends the next day because I have to be up early again for work, and I just... I don't know if I can do this anymore, I just want to be done.... And my friends are doing so much to try to help but I feel like I'm wasting their time and effort... But I'm trying so hard, I just want them to be happy but I always just worry and upset them because I'm always in so much pain and as much as I just want to be done already I can't hurt them like that, I feel like I need to keep going even though I feel like I'm in hell, I just want to ctb already... I either can't do anything to make things easier or if I do it'll result in the people around me getting upset and me being even more of a disappointment, I just... I wish I could just die already... I don't want to have to keep going... I don't want to keep weighing down my friends, but I don't want to traumatize them either... I don't want to stay with this hellish job but I don't want to end up with my family even more upset with me... I'm just trapped, in pain, unable to escape without hurting others who don't deserve it...
