Anxiety just gets in the way

LittleBird79 November 11th

Hello everyone,

I really wasn't sure where to go with this but I just don't feel good my life anymore. To make a long story short, I had a promotion at my retail job that lasted 3 months because I couldn't handle the stress. To add insult to injury, my hours were then cut and I just don't feel the same about my job. I've been trying to get a second job quick, preferably remote bc I don't have a car. The only remote jobs I find are customer service type and I struggle to do that kind of work. It feels like punishment. I used to do it pretty easily but I don't feel the same about working in CS. I have gotten on a 1099* site where I could make my own schedule but I still can't bring myself to work. I hate it so much that not even the threat of looming bills can get me to do it. I don't know what's wrong with me. (*For those wondering, 1099 is independent contractor work as opposed to being an employee.)

I wish I could find something else that didn't make me feel like this. If you read this, thank you.

It's understandable to feel overwhelmed when you're dealing with stress from a job that once felt okay but now feels draining, especially when you’re trying to juggle everything else. The pressure to find work that doesn't feel like punishment is a heavy burden to carry, and it's okay to feel stuck in this moment. It's important to be kind to yourself and recognize that you’re doing your best, even if it doesn't feel like it.
