I mean I just can't work at McDonalds due to stress related reasons. If I work there I'll end up walking out on the first day, I know it. I don't know what to do. I need to find a job ASAP within a month otherwise the bills will start piling up and my gf and I won't be able to handle it.

I have six more years until I have a BS in Computer Science.

I have enough $ to buy a gun and shoot myself in the head within a weeks time. What to do what to do?

I mean I'm just frustrated at the fact that it's hard as hell to get a job here. And at my current job everyone conspired against me to get me out of here. It's ridiculous and ludacris!

I have OCD, Anxiety problems, etc. I know I can't work at a fast food restaurant due to my OCD/anxiety. How do I know I can't? I did work at one restaurant and I walked out on the third day of work.

I'm not going to do anything stupid but I'm just frustrated and trying to vent at an online forum where nobody gives two craps about me. Bye.

The human resources manager for my company spoke to me and said that if I want to look for another job that I can do that and that I can stay until I find another job.

Sounds like you might need some therapy and medication. If you gotta work at McDonalds, you work at McDonalds.

Suck it up and take it like a man. You take what you can get as long as it pays the bills.

Could you elaborate on why your co-workers conspired to get you out of your current job?

Yup. I struggled through 6 months of McDonalds so I could get enough money to pay for school. It was tough, but you got to do what you got to do.

I'm 21 years old previous to obtaining this manager's position I was a regular sales person. This position opened up and three existing manager's voted for me to get this position. I agreed and took it on. It's been one year now. The owner of the company and one other manager who I thought was my friend, took it upon themselves to put an ad in the newspaper looking for a manager who can take over my position. They didn't even let me know that they were gonna replace me. They didn't even tell me what I did wrong. They didn't even correct me or give me a chance to correct myself within this past year. If they told me what I wasn't doing right as a manager I would have worked to correct it. I did not get any reviews or notices. It's weird but like I said it's a conspiracy.

You arn't even 30 yet right? What are you complaining about?
When it comes down to it, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, even if it is digging ditches or flipping burgers. Your comfort comes second to your ability to pay bills and eat.
Guess what, life isn't a plush little carpet ride. Suck it up.
Get out of the computer game.

To answer your questions, no, suicide is the most cowardly and selfish thing you can do.
Suicide doesn't take in consideration any of the people in your life.

Quit being such a goddamn weakling! You better learn to handle stress and do it NOW, or you'll be broke and unhappy for the rest of your life. You're what 22, 23? And you can't handle a fvcking fast food job that 16 year old girls can do? Try running a company at 20, now THAT is stress. Cut the sh1t. Stop being a kid. Start being a man. You got yourself into this situation and no one but you can get you out of it. Get to work.

I just wish oppurtunities would arise from other people. It seems that with all the help I've dished out in the past nothing is coming around back to me. I've helped hire friends of friends and in return they give nothing. It's like I'm just a free giving machine but when it's time to give back to me.

I could go on and on but I won't. Thanks for the advice.

During school I worked at Arby's, Blockbuster, Taco Bell (where I met my wife :heart: ), a sleezy used car lot as a lot attendant....

You just do what you gotta do. It's an excellent character trait... Possibly one of the very best you can ever have.

This is your post right? I'm not sure, the quote looks weird.

I've heard that same exact line so many times, I care not to even listen to it anymore.
You are probably a great guy and help many people, etc, but you are in the same boat as everyone else.
What you put into the world, is what you will take out of it. So just stick with it.
Karma does exist. So try and focus on the positive.

Why do you have to work at McD's? Couldn't you get a retail position at a Best Buy or something? If you know you're going to get depressed flipping burgers, pick an entry-level position somewhere you're interested in

Yes that is my post. The thing is most of you guys here don't have a psychologicla disorder. I guess you'll never know unless you experienced it for yourself. It's pretty hard. I'm not looking for pitty either. I see a psychiatrist, I get medication, I take it daily.

FRIG! I'm frustrated as hell man! I know I can't get crap handed to me, I'm not looking for that. I just wish my life wasn't so fugged up like how it is now. I wish I could be like minendo and not even study and get straight As. I wish I could be like the rest of you and get perfect SAT scores. It's so sad that I'm stupid lol. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!

Don't use "psychological problems" as an excuse. Get out and try to CHANGE things. Take control of your life. Your problems are only as big as you make them.

I hope your perspective isn't really THAT skewed.

I've never had any psychological problems, so I certainly cannot put myself in your shoes... But are you sure that you aren't using the "problems" as a crutch?

You seem to be only looking at the reasons why you can't do something, instead of why you should do it.

You won't get far if you give yourself limitations and reasons to fail.

I'm trying to figure out what another job will have that you can handle the job, but a McJob doesn't have???

Lessee:

Stupid coworkers: Check
Repetitive job: Check
Crappy hours: Ok, your other job may be 9-5... But your name is Nocturnal. You should love the night shift!
Low pay: Yeah, McJobs don't pay. But minimum wage is better than no wage.
Long commute: Hey! There's always a McJob around the corner!
Dealing with stupid customers: Check

I'm missing the difference that your anxeity etc would have issues with. You walked out of one after 3 days. Why? What was so bad? Having to face new people and a new, unknown, set of duties? You're gonna get that at any job, even being President of the United States!

Swallow your pride and suck it up.

Before I got my current job, I worked at Sears selling shoes. Do you think I expected to work at Sears selling shoes AFTER I got my BS in computer science? I graduated in May of 2002. I didn't land my job until May of 2003. Took a full year of working a sh*tty job and searching for something before I found it.

I couldn't land a job so I had to do what it took to make ends meet.

Actaully, I have full blown ADHD, and slight borderline personality disorder. Both of which I do not take meds for, nor have I ever.
It IS very rough, and it is a very case by case basis when it comes to things like this.
I didn't have great SAT's, I slacked my ass off all through school, and scraped by in college.
Now, I'm in a totally different career than what I went to school for, and something I never expected to even consider.

Just remember to keep a balance in life. Making money and being a "successful" is not the most important thing.
