got any sevens posted:it may sound insulting but i dont want it to, but have you tried just day labor jobs? like gardening or flagging for construction? its not great work but it keeps you busy and you make some money. did you do college recently? they might have job postings for office work or something on their wall, my community college still does it oldschool that way Seconding. Manual labor isn't a bad thing. Exercise, sunshine, plus a chance at joining a union. And you get to build things!

I've applied to menial fast food poo poo and every time they ask if I'm still in college, and I say, "No," and that immediately makes them reject me.

I'm surprised that anyone can do manual labor on psych medications, when I started taking them I lost pretty much any and all heat tolerance.

It really sucks I can't rely on my parents like others can because they're both white supremacists. loving dad owns a copy of the Turner Diaries and has a nice stockpile of rifles for the race war he swears is coming, and my mom is genuinely baffled and upset that I don't want to interact with someone like that and am not more grateful to him. God, some loving person tried to help but they were way the gently caress away in state and I don't want to move somewhere and be alone there. I just feel desperate because I will have absolutely nowhere to go if I gently caress this up, I don't understand why I keep failing to get a job. I guess I could try a GoFundMe again, but I just feel ashamed for panhandling.

what city do you live in? there might be some groups tailored to help you. like in seattle there are some facebook housing groups just for lgbt people, and some transitional jobs and housing nonprofits, there's just like no centralization so you have to talk to each place personally

Nae! posted:(you dont have to apologize for your attitude on this ever, looking for work is loving demoralizing and you have every right to be broken up about it. in a way, you're dealing with a form of grief because you're mourning the life you thought you'd have at this stage in your existence) oh, gently caress

Well this weekend was a nightmare of suicidal ideation and surprise emergency housework and actual nightmares, and now my poor dog who helped me get through the worst of my depression and despair has some kind of infection or abbessed tooth and I can't stop worrying about her and can barely function at my job She is just so sweet and little and doesn't deserve this

after three days of telling them no the apartment let us go without any penalty and a free refund of all fees  implicitly stated was that they REALLY didn’t want to get sued and go through discovery bc apparently this is a common occurrence for them stand up for yourselves goons even if it’s the hardest thing you’ve ever done, it’s surprising the magic that can happen

lol I got a letter from the IRS saying my tax return was wrong somehow and they would be reviewing it and be in contact with me. I literally made $3000 last year. I’m so poor I barely register on any metrics at all. I was supposed to get a refund weeks ago and it would have been hugely helpful but now it’s indefinitely delayed. awesome tax system we have, just great

I'm feeling anxious after posting in the Eurovision thread in GBS and getting the impression that they think I'm annoying and should stop posting. I sometimes feel like people on SA hate me, and I have no idea what I did wrong. Perhaps it's a GBS thing, I don't normally post there (because they make me anxious) And Portugal didn't get through

Hey all. My partner has depression and anxiety and has been very depressed lately. He just got some bloodwork done recently to see if his testosterone and thyroid hormone levels are okay (I suspect they are not, but that's another story), currently waiting on results. In the meantime I really have no idea how to help him. I know I can't really make it all go away, although I do know what he's going through based on my own mental issues. I just am there for him, show him love, etc. He's always extremely tired and feels miserable. He hates his job as well, so that doesn't help. He takes Pristiq and Abilify. The Abilify 5mg was making him really angry in addition to everything else, so pdoc dropped him down to 2.5mg. I don't think there's really anything else that can be done until the blood test results come back and we go from there. He does see a therapist but not very often due to his work schedule. His therapist is very good for him, just the kind of person he needs. I dunno, I'm just venting I guess, but if anyone does have any advice it would be appreciated.

I can sympathize with the abilify. any atypical makes me lose my poo poo, as do SNRIs. it’s really frustrating because I have bipolar, so I have to set up this ridiculous fetch quest of sertraline, Deplin, and trazedone to cancel each other’s side effects out so I can function. Has your SO tried an SSRI yet? Pristiq is an SNRI and Abilify is an atypical antipsychotics if I remember right. It might not be a bad idea for him to ask about an SSRI/deplin combo. if the pdoc okays it, it might help.

One thing that I wish people would tell me is any variation of "it's fine if you're depressed/anxious and it doesn't change what I think/feel about you," because getting told "you/we have to do something to get better" or "I hope that you'll start feeling better" enough times started making me just avoid talking to people about my issues and feel pretty guilty for letting them down. I skipped out on mother's day and avoid talking to my family because I feel like a failure for being sick.
