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 don't think I'm using my disorders as a crutch. It actually breaks me down to a point where I can't take things anymore and either I'll roll up into a ball in a fetal position or I'll walk out and leave.

Again I'm not even looking for pitty here but maybe advice.

I think working here at my current job has skewed everything around me. I pre-judge people before they come up to my kiosk because all I get are ex-cons, homeless people, people who are on welfare (how do I know they're on welfare? I just saw them use their EBT card before coming to my kiosk), kids with NO credit just out of high school, I don't know what else.

I guess I'm gonna have to try it out anyway. How do you get through life or meet the right people to get the "hook ups?" Do you have to do drugs and do crime so you can finally get the "hook ups?"

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

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.

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.

Do you want to bet that I could not even land a job selling shoes? I'll apply and keep you all updated. I'm gonna go on an applying spree this coming week and I'll let everyone know how it goes.

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!!

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.

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

Do you have a college degree? What do you do now? What kind of job do you have?

If you can't land a simple job like that, how do you expect to get hired after you get your degree?

I know that once I get an interview, I will be hired no matter if the job is for selling shoes or software engineering. My issue was getting the interview in the first place.

You should EASILY be able to find work right now. Every place in the world is looking for seasonal workers.

I dunno about him, but I also have ADHD (as does my son) and I don't even have a High School Diploma. I make $42k on a helldesk.

But I've done my time. Just 9 years ago I was a lead at a Carl's Jr. because I couldn't find anything else. You take what you can find until what you want comes along.

 

[Nocturnal]

I have enough $ to buy a gun and ammo to shoot myself lol. I'm consdering it right now but I'll let you all know what I decide. Or someone who knows me personally here will let you know.

Yes, I limped through with a CS degree. And I mean LIMPED. I just didn't care for anymore friggin school after 13 damned years of it. 13 of thoes years grouped with a bunch of halfwit schmucks. It really killed my drive.

I am currently a NYS licensed real estate appraiser.

It is not that I would not pass the interview it is getting passed the application process. They won't hire you unless you have some sort of degree here which I don't have. I have a high school diploma, that is it. I can land any job that interviews me. I've landed every single job that I interviewed for.

 

[CTrain]

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.

What a great way to put it.
I know I loss a friend before and it took me many many years to stop thinking about it all the time.
I know if I was gone in this world, I would cause the same feelings for alot of poeple.

You might not think so but everyone has people that love them.

 

[Nocturnal]

The thing is I always here talk to someone about your problems, talk to someone, talk to someone, or do this or that. Where are these people? My school counselors? AHAHAH yeah right, they're a huge joke. They don't even want to talk to me they want me in and out. Who else? I have to pay a friggen psychologist to listen to me. Who else is there? My gf? LOL what a joke. "It's ok we'll be alright, it's ok"

Agreed. I worked for a full year at Best Buy as a retail sales associate in the computers department - while it is for the most part an easy job, it's not without stress. You will get your share of inept coworkers, poor managers and silly company rules no matter where you go. Just make the most of it.

I left that job three months ago and am in constant contact with many of my ex-coworkers. Most of them were great people; in fact it would have been the ideal job if not for having to deal with customers. Realize that 95% of the time everyone starts from the bottom and works their way up. In fact it's usually better that way - there's no better way to length your list of friends and contacts than having toiled in the trenches alongside them so they see you as being one of them. And nobody stays in the trenches forever.

Lame...........

Life isn't easy and if you think your situation is bad now, it will only get worse.

You do not seem to want to work for what you get. You want it handed to you.

Maybe it was how you were raised.......

My mom was a single mom who made 15K a year. She NEVER got on welfare or any government assistance. We made due the best we could. I paid for my entire college education. I worked 35 hours a week and took 15 hours a semester.

You think you are the only person with problems? Get over yourself. Get off your lazy ass and do whatever it takes to make ends meet.

I already blew my chance with Comp USA as I did a stint there for about a week before leaving due to piss poor management. The manager degraded me in front of EVERYONE, not once but three times before I finally took it upon myself to speak to someone higher. That resolved nothing so I ended up putting in my two weeks. I can try Circuit City. If Best Buy was here I'd try there but they aren't.

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

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.

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.

Or your using your disorder as an excuse for why you can't do certain stuff. It might be true that your OCD/anxiety will interfere if you worked at McDs... so don't work at McD. You can get the same pay working as a gas station attendent, or at a grocery store, or at a hundred different places.

 

The thing is I always here talk to someone about your problems, talk to someone, talk to someone, or do this or that. Where are these people? My school counselors? AHAHAH yeah right, they're a huge joke. They don't even want to talk to me they want me in and out. Who else? I have to pay a friggen psychologist to listen to me. Who else is there? My gf? LOL what a joke. "It's ok we'll be alright, it's ok"

Parents, family members? Go to a group meeting like AA or something.
They really DO help, and usually you can make some good friends that are surprisingly JUST like you.

You mention how you can't operate in a working environment like McD's because of your disorders.
What makes you think that other jobs are different?

Blame everyone else except yourself. Damn you are a baby. You are always going to work with people you aren't going to get along with. You make due and live with it.

I work with jackasses now. Big freakin deal, I still work with them and I am civil to them.

I've been called out on the carpet in front of everyone else at the end-of-day meeting myself. But while the joke of a supervisor berated me for "not paying attention, that's not how the team acts!" I smiled at him openly, nodded my head, uttered my expected platitudes and without saying a word made it clear that I thought he was a joke. I found it hysterical that people took retail management so seriously.

Bad management practices define retail. At BB they were barely being paid above minimum wage themselves...that speaks for itself. Filter out the bad, have fun with the friends you make at work (it seriously was akin to lounging around for a few hours with friends) and hit on the cute-but-dumb cashiers.

I almost miss it! ...Almost.

It sounds like you are a little bitch. Grow a set of balls and stay at a job more than a week

 

[PrinceofWands]

I've never had a truly classically 'decent job' and I'm still kickin. I've had jobs I loved, and jobs that payed ok (for me that's about 30k a year), and jobs that helped others, but never one that was all at once.

 

[Nocturnal]

Thanks guys I needed a little ass kicking to get me into gear. Sully and the other person who PMed me thanks.

 

[PunDogg]

yeah nothing is below you when you are desperate

working a "$hitty" job makes you see that the job that you have, might not be the best but its a hell of alot better than what you could be doing
