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.

I've gotten to the point of DGAF. Say something ONCE. If they take it on board great. If they don't just wait, well you said your piece. Just put it out there like Willy Wonka warning Veruca Salt. Then as time goes on maybe they start listening. Or don't. You just there for a paycheck...and health insurance.

Yes sir. Great idea, but have you thought of this? That's it. Or just stop saying anything and let them find out. They're the decider, the big ego on campus. Let them stew and learn.

That is how I've managed to stay sane. The more I say anything the more I make it difficult for myself. Then chuckle at the constant fuck ups they make. So many times I heard co-workers say "I told them they should, but they didn't" and see the place fuck-around
