I don't know how I'll ever be able to have a job

bunnygarden December 4th, 2021

I'm genuinely terrified because I don't know how I'm ever going to make enough money to survive. I tried working at Pizza Hut but over six months I had a manager who specifically liked to yell at me and scare me because it was funny to her, and I had to work over my shift every day. I tried working at Walmart for a week but the 10-hour stocking shifts destroyed my hands and body. I felt so sore every morning that I could barely walk and my hands were covered in cuts and scrapes.


I don't know how I'll be able to survive. I'm terrified of people and awful for customer service. After this I feel more physically weak than ever, so I can't even do brute labor jobs. I feel like there's nothing that I'm suited for, and now I won't have any way of getting income after this last paycheck.

I'm sorry you endured a toxic boss and toxic workplace, as well as the hazards of the labor force and workplaces requiring intense physical labor. While I don't know your age range or abilities, or interests, would you rather work with people, or in a creative field? Would doing something you enjoy, even if it didn't pay a lot, be a good place to start building more confidence? Sometimes having supportive coworkers and supervisors can help us blossom in whatever field we are in.

I have the same problem and i try to remind myself why I'm doing it,it helps. Reminding me that the only reason I'm working is for the money,i even count the hours and the money i get per hour.
