Is there much point in having a job when you lack the ability to form and maintain relationships?

[Volatile]

i know I need a job for money but every job I've had has led me to suicidal ideation within days. Other people have friends, a spouse, or kids to look forward to seeing after work, but what's the point if you have none of that?

Im the same Volatile. Thats why I never last at jobs. I don't see the point if I dont have them things you have mentioned in your post!

Im glad its not just me who goes through this. I applied for a job today, fuck knows why, ill last a month wait until pay day then leave them. Same pattern over and over.

I know what you mean almost every job I've had has made me more suicidal and would come home to no one.

Spouses and kids are overrated.
I have a BF but love being alone too.

Same here. Being an adult is fucking terrible

Never liked cigarettes and alcohol interferes with my anxiety medication :(

I have always self medicated my anxiety with kava kava, alcohol and valerian root as I am too scared of anxiety meds:/ I also hated not being able to drink on other meds (against migraines) so that I dropped them. But I drink 2-3x a month at most.

I last about 3 months. My resume shows a pattern which means i'll soon be unemployable

Im already unemployable. I have gaps for over 2 years. i could do a driving job, least im not with people all the time like I am in a call centre.

If I could be alone and get paid for doing something, Id do it.

Driving jobs don't care about gaps?

Alot of the ones ive checked on indeed want experience which is annoying. I know how to drive, just because Ive never been employed as a driver does not mean I cant do the job. Idiots that they are!

I'm in the same boat. Unemployable, broke AF. Endless cycle of job hunting then NCNS. I'm exhausted. And fuck call centers. There's only so many times you can tank downright abusive language before you spiral down in a pit of depression. Then there's being micro-managed on ridiculous targets, mindless superficial bees for co-workers, a pantry where EVERY food is reheated to a point it no longer resembles food and taste exactly the same ...

Not really, when I was working sure I had cash and could say I did something but without the ability to enjoy social interactions and life generally it seemed fucking meaningless. Like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Might as well hit the iceberg and go down with the ship

Yes. So i can buy the only things that make me somewhat "happy". Or at least not downright suicidal for a little while.
