I love my job. It's usually pretty fun, but it occasionally involves really tough situations. This job has been my dream-job since I was 3. From a young age I've known that these situations exist, but today is the first day that I had to deal with it. So far, telling myself "you knew was going to happen" is not helping. Feeling pretty bummed out today...

Can I jump on the job market is evil bandwagon? Everywhere I look wants someone with prior experience in whatever it is, usually a year or two. For example, sales. I applied at a local Jo-anns and didn't get the position because I've never worked sales before. Well how am I supposed to get experience if no one will hire me without it?
To rub salt in the wound, the job posting I applied to is still up but I got my rejection email probably around a month ago.
Would some of your co-workers be willing to hang out after work, Chatfish?
What happened Madison?
So I'm going to a community college to study early childhood education. I'm currently studying for the math assessment and I'm super cranky because I hate math. I learned all this stuff like 3 years ago and I don't remember it. It's not like I'm going to be teaching 3 year olds how to use logarithms[emoji19]. I get about 2 days off a week and this is how I have to spend it if I'm going to be responsible. I just want to go swimming with my tail.
And that SUCKS Ciriun. I can't say I know what you're going through - I started working at fifteen and, despite being only seventeen, haven't been out of a job for very long since, but I many of my family members are very jobless.
So, *hug*
Also, ouch, Maisy.
Good for you, Sabrina. Starting work at a younger age will make it much easier in the future. At that age I was struggling with serious depression and could barely drag myself out for school some days. Now I've just got anxiety and possibly some other mental health problems as well which make things like applying for jobs way more stressful than they should be.
I am cautiously optimistic about my application to Petsmart for a stocking position I put in earlier today. Fingers crossed.
And Mermaisy, I sympathize. Math stinks and for most majors they require you to learn way more than you will ever need.
I was like that too Ciriun. My anxiety got wayyy better after I switched to an alternative school from the high pressure public school I had been attending. Good luck with the job search.
After all of the stuff i went through as a kid, i have triggered anxiety.
Meaning:
I can have a man look at me a certain way, and go into an anxiety attack.
Last night i had one, and it was the worse one ive had in almost a year.
Anyway, i saw a video where this guy posted him recording his own anxiety attack.
I did the same. I so desperately want to post it, to show everyone who knows me that it is a VERY real thing, and i cant help it.
But I'm terrified. Horrified.
Ive been called so many horrid things because of this, im scared to put it up.
I have a newfound obsession with Jurassic park and its taking over my life
Gotcha, Ciriun. Many of my friends have mental health issues and I myself have slight PTSD from being hit by a car when I was ten. Doesn't really interfere with anything except getting my licence, though. I can't bring myself to practice enough to get good at driving.
And good for you Shimmer. If you do post it, post the link for us. I'm sure many of of us will post some supportive comments on YouTube. But if you don't feel ready to post, don't push it, either. Take it easy and do this at your own pace. Also, anyone who gives you crap about it can go soak their head in a toilet.
And Labrynth: sooo feel you about Jurassic.
Because I am an assist manager I cannot unless its like a big group of them. Some people have talked about going to some movies but have never been invited.Quote:

^ What SeaGlass said.
dylan i'm so sorry you have to go through that :(
The minute you can, run!
*hug*
So sorry Dylan. Sounds everyone is being REALLY unfair. :(
Honestly Dylan, i can tell you that i was exactly in that sort of situation. Constantly being called lazy, a bitch, when really i call them out on their BS and actually do more than my share of the chores.
When i finally left they realized how wrong they were and now they can't function without me.
When you leave oh ho ho you will taste the freedom and they'll wan't you to come back.
Hun, don't let FAAAAAMILY tie you to toxic people. Just because you're related by blood does NOT mean they get held to a standard that is more lax than the standards you hold strangers to. IMHO family should be held to a higher standard because of the long standing relationships.
How old are you, btw?
