I have never felt more useless and stupid than since I've started this job. I got this job because my academic job fell through and I didn't have any other prospects and I needed money fast. But every time I feel I've done progress in doing the most basic shit I get reprimanded because clearly I forgot something or I did something wrong. I thought It was part of the learning curve but after 6 months I have realized it's just that I'm shit at this job, and it's getting to me. I now get so anxious walking into work that my stomach spasms because I'm certain I will get reminded that I'm shit and that I'm worthless. The business owner keeps yelling at me and I can't take it anymore. I'm going through a depressive crisis and I can't handle taking care of myself beyond eating and basic hygiene. I don't have any other options lined up, I might go homeless, but I can't take it anymore.

I can't even go back to academic jobs because last time I had an adhd flareup and depression I couldn't finish a project so now I've been burned because nobody will ever vouch for me anymore.

Maybe I'll just die and be done with it.

You know you have adhd. Are you on any anti anxiety meds? They won't help much with depression, but they can help you keep a bit of drive and focus - or at least some of the intrusive pings - which can help with daily and work tasks, which can help with some of the sources of stress and depression.

Shit is hitting the fan economically and if you can survive until you get something else lined up is more prefable to quitting. Harder to get unemployment health benifiets if you quit too.
