Do you have a job

[trying ungracefully]

I was wondering because I haven't had a job in a while and I was wanting to see if others can relate

 

[patheticparasite]

Nope, I'm too pathetic. Staying alive is so taxing, I've got zero energy left to sell.

 

[WeepingWorm]

Yeah, I'm employed. Never have been unemployed in fact, had to work while others rested and had breaks back in school, too.

 

[darksouls]

no I am too disabled
and suffer from serious chronic illnesses
my life is very painful

 

[amerie]

Im trying but it's so hard :( I feel like a loser but im trying to not feel bad because i still live with my parents and they don't want me to work too hard they just care about my school, but I really want to save up for stuff to gtfo and see the world and buy CTB equipment and all that jazz

 

[kitkat9234]

I still have one thankfully after my last attempt. I'm barely functioning at it though. If I fail again I will probably lose it.

 

[FoxSauce]

I do been there for a year thank god the pay isnt that great but hey something is something

 

[westerly_merlin]

I have worked all my life, started part time at 14 while at school and never stopped. I am a grafter.

I am in a job that pays well but I am trapped in it, I am surrounded by family who think that because I am earning good money I have an obligation to support them. I feel like a donkey that is worked to the bone.

When I tried to CTB those in the know were very concerned, but not because they were concerned for my welfare, it was more about my monthly pay.

I think about quitting the job and taking off, but my family would see that as selfish.

I haven't worked for a little over a year now. Lost a good well-paying job when the bottom fell out of my life and I haven't had any energy or desire to try again since then.

 

[princexhhn]

I can barely handle living, a job on top of every other bullshit I go through would make me ctb faster

 

[Praestat_Mori]

I worked hard to reach my goals in life, but a few years ago, I failed.

Now, all I could get realistically would be a min-wage job. Therefore, I have no job bc I reject the idea of becoming a wage-slave just to make a CEO richer.

 

[starboy2k]

I would have another job, but all of my applications keeps getting rejected

No. I am too sick. It started as mentally, but now physically too.

My friend even comment on it, my heart not beating as hard as it should. If I am gone in the next <9 months, not having an income is why. It is not my time yet but I have been living in hell for years. I am physically sick because I can't afford to eat. Food banks often give not enough and expired food. I got expired chocolate milk last month and it made me really upset because I don't even like chocolate milk but I was hungry and it fucking poisoned me LOL tasted sour . Nasty. The constant stress has destroyed my heart, I often wonder if I even need to ctb because I'll probably be gone in a few years anyway. But that's what makes me want to do it to some degree.

I also miss talking to people. Having a job was good for that. I only have two friends now, everyone else left lol. I would like to work if someone would accommodate my condition, but I couldn't get a job before the physical issues.

@Pluto please! I feel so called out!

I am the breadwinner in my household. I have to have a job or we starve. I hate my career though. Luckily I have a pretty casual boss and decent enough benefits that I can stand to keep at it.

 

[Spite]

I do, and it's the bane of my existence. I've been at my current job for almost two years now and I absolutely hate it. I dread going to work every day.

I feel like I'm stuck in this Groundhog Day reality where it's like I am reliving the exact same day, every single day (sparing the weekends, but even they aren't much different). Every day I have to drag myself to work. I see the exact same people every day. I do the exact same monotonous things every day. Each day bleeds into the next. It's the same slog, over and over and over again. Every day I come home feeling exhausted and all I can do is sit in front of my computer until I fall asleep. It feels like some kind of Hellish purgatory I'm stuck in and perhaps dying is the only feasible way out.

 

[whywere]

I have worked since I was old enough to lift.

Since around 1964 and still going.

Sadly yes. I work just so the government can take part of my paycheck every week and stuff their pockets.

 

[trying ungracefully]

I just wanted to add because I didn't explain for myself. The reason I don't work is because I have really bad social/general anxiety where it is hard to leave the house and do things. It's borderline agoraphobia but I do things to try and help it now but I'm still not in a good spot.

I don't know why I became like this. By the time I was twelve I was going everywhere around the city on my bike and by CTA and now I'm 21 and I'm afraid of going to the store by myself. I used to be so outgoing and would talk to random people around the city.

I'm lucky to have parents who support me but it's only 4 more years until I am off their insurance. And even though i know I could I don't want to live in with them forever. It sucks being the way I am and it adds to my depression so much.

 

[SmellsLikeNapalm]

I quit mine months ago

I'm just neetmaxxing until I finally do it

 

[Namelesa]

Nope. I couldn't handle school at all so i wouldn't be able to handle being in a work environment and the stress of failure and potential boredom of it.

 

[Unsure and Useless]

I'm unemployed, but that's mainly because I'm a university student lol

My grades are already shit. I'm afraid that, if I take up a job, they'll get even worse. Despite that, I'm considering looking into a part-time job because a family member is currently in debt (and they're the one responsible for paying off the majority of the bills), so... yeah...
