It’s not about the job. It’s about the “snowball effect” everything has been slowly piling up to the point where it’s out of control. You can take that control back. That’s your decision. That’s your choice. Keep paddling against the current and keep fighting the rapids or go in a different direction. Take baby steps and change the habits. Spend your time and energy on YOU. Get to bed on time, limit drinking, get up early exercise and spend time getting ready. Get to work 10 mins. early for YOU. Stay positive and happy for your well being!

I’ve tried to apply for jobs and it always seems futile when o hear nothing back. I’m tempted daily to just get up leave and never return. I see no other way out

Why not improve yourself first and then quit the job. Make a plan and follow it. There’s no easy answer or solution, but you can always better yourself and your outlook on things.

Most jobs are soul sucking, but we need them to support our lives outside of the office. What can you do to improve your life outside of it all? Reinvest in old hobbies? Find new ones? Reconnect with friends? Make new ones? Redecorate? Fix this up? During your work day, try practicing mindfulness. If you can plug into some headphones a few minutes a day you can even do guided meditations with the Stop, Breath & Think app. You can also do something on the side to build new skills that could take you to a new job. This could be night classes, online classes, or self taught skills.

Does anyone else experience this lingering fear and anxiety because they think they’re capable of hurting someone? It’s killing me. I feel like I’m such a danger. I feel like I’m a predator. I feel like this awful person and I can’t shake it. I want to carry on with my day but I can’t. I don’t feel like I deserve it. I feel like I’ve done awful things. I can’t stop crying.

I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.

Terrified of aggressive homeless right by my apartment 4 times already this week I have been continuously stalked, verbally threaten, and shown the middle finger. These 2 homeless people stay everyday at a nearby park just 1 minute from my apartment and loiter around on either sidewalk beside my building and surrounding residential neighborhood. I have filed police reports and been told to avoid the area but I live in this area so l am always encountering these terrifying people. They definitely know my appearance and dog So l am change my clothes and dog haircut I am terrified stepping outside my home and returning to it . I've informed my property manager as well. And I do have pepper spray and a taser but just freeze up and afraid to use it confidently Fear I could be looking like the assailant on these "defenseless homeless" ?? I've even asked the local homeless outreach to intervene and get these individuals help. How can I feel safe again? I am obsessing they will physically assault me given the verbal threats they will hurt me. Paranoid they know my every movements, when I leave home , trying to walk a different route and a different time and when I go home. Constant looking at my surrounds and behind my shoulder. Trying to stay close to groups of families, well lit area, restaurants Overall have not had such horrible encounters in this neighborhood until now (edited)
