What's Bothering You?

Extremely depressed again. The last two days were pretty good; yesterday my depression was starting to surface again but wasn’t too bad. Now though, I’m miserable. I’m scared still my best friend isn’t going to reply to me again and am so lonely and hurt. Hard to stay hopeful about how just things with my friend by in general. talking to him made me so happy and made me start to like myself more; now how can I :/ I did just take my medicine; hopefully it kicks in soon.
 
Everything in my life is going to ****. When I mentioned friend problems in one of my earlier posts, I was partially referring to a certain "friend" who is mad at me about something. The whole situation is messy and I'm not going to retype it (I talked about it elsewhere), but here's an "in a nutshell" version: Our friendship is most likely gonna end because that "friend" refuses to communicate and never told me why they were mad at me. Oh, and I'm now realizing they're actually a terrible person.

If that wasn't bad enough, I also got family issues to deal with. I've been getting into multiple arguments with my family members every day, and my dad is threatening to do a family intervention on me. I've been feeling nothing but stress and anguish these past few weeks, and I'm feeling more depressed than ever. School is just as boring, exhausting, and demotivating. I left 2/3 Discord servers I was in because I felt excluded and I didn't wanna deal with some drama that was brewing. And I'm still grieving for my mom.

Dude, just make it ****ing stop. I wish my life would be in order for once. What a great 2024 this is!

Tummy ache
I think I started to get a tummy ache but I’m praying and listening to. A subliminal and it seems to be going away but man it feels scary when it starts to happen which makes the pain worse

Edit: all better! ❤️

The feeling of neglect at my job seems to never end.

I'm going to try my best not to reveal a ton of information for reasons you'll soon understand, but here's the deal - I am sick and tired of constantly having my concerns at work get pushed aside or straight-up ignored. This is getting to a point where I'm starting to believe that the higher-ups have something against me for whatever reason.

I applied for an assistant manager promotion at the school's bus garage back in December, and didn't get it. No big deal; I wasn't expecting to get far with it due to my lack of experience. However, almost immediately after having my application rejected, that's when the dominos started falling. I mentioned before that I had a long-term sub route shoved onto my run for no extra pay without my approval, and all efforts to try and have them hand it to someone else have failed. As my run consists of two schools with two buses, having a third shoved in between is making me run late to the intended second school every day. I attempted to prove my point that older drivers cannot physically do the same thing as me by taking my time in getting the second bus ready after finishing the sub route, and they yelled at me for being too slow. 😒 I'm now forced to add 15 minutes to my timecard to get the second bus ready BEFORE the run begins, and there are even days when it's being used until the last minute by someone else, thus I can't get it ready in time. If this happens, I can't get paid extra.

Oh, and I just found out that they approved the original driver a month-long vacation after their original medical return date, so I'm now stuck having to do this stupid route for the entirety of March. Meanwhile, I once tried to get an afternoon off for an important dentist appointment, and they said no, wait two more weeks and do it over break. Do you realize how unfair that is to me?

Even the other employees and drivers are failing to realize why I'm incredibly frustrated. I sent an email to HR complaining about my issue, and they completely sided with my boss, despite me clearly telling them about my concerns in as much detail as possible. Co-workers are not giving me any encouragement; I was told by someone to NEVER email HR about problems with my boss, and that I should treat them with more respect. Uh, hello? Do you realize my situation here? I'm clearly unhappy with what's been forced on me, and I've voiced my opinion quite loudly to everyone involved, yet they're treating my words like color bars on a TV.

Also, I've written up some students on my bus due to misbehavior, and the amount of time it is taking for administration to hand out punishments is unacceptable. I'm sometimes having to wait upwards of three weeks for someone to get suspended. For example, I witnessed someone kick another student with both feet, and the suspension was not handed out until three weeks AFTER the incident occurred. Ridiculous. The amount of communication between them and I is lacking greatly, and I once sent an email to them asking for a status update on several incidents. Of course, my boss comes in and tells me NEVER to email them, and that I have to wait. I've since written multiple concerns to my boss regarding these incidents hoping to speed up the process, but I'm assuming that they all get sent to the shredder. If I DO get a letter back, nothing happens afterward. Everyone is treating the incidents I'm facing like it's nothing, and that's abysmal. If you aren't going to suspend anyone, at least TELL ME WHY. I NEED TO KNOW YOUR REASONING. Jeez.

Overall, I feel abused and neglected by the higher-ups. The logical reasoning of some of their decisions is incredibly bad, and the communication of important concerns is lacking greatly as well. I may be forced to have another "talk" with my boss, and I'm expecting to receive the same automated answers as before. Needless to say, I'm most likely not going to sign the commitment form for the next school year, and may have to switch jobs as I need to start earning much more money so I can finally move out of the dump that is my parent's house. Pathetic.
 
I've realized that I metaphorically backed myself into a wall. I'm going to a "job fair" tomorrow with my brother to hopefully land a job, and of course I put off writing a resume until the last minute... Like I know how to write one.

Honestly, I have no confidence that I'll get accepted into any job. Even if it weren't for the fact that I specified only wanting to work during the summer (as if any employer would wait months for a singular person to work), my resume's gonna look very plain; I have very little work experience + good work qualities.

If this is what the real world is gonna be like, then I won't last a day out there. I'm so not ready for this... 😭 I graduate this year, so that just puts more pressure onto me to grow up when I'm not even legally old enough to pay taxes and vote.
 
I feel like my behavior on this forum is becoming bizarre and annoying. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I made a few regrettable moves.

When I returned to this forum, I promised to be the better man than I used to be. Now I’m reverting to my old habits or developing strange habits. I don’t want to go there.

Employers don't expect school pupils to have experience. When they hire young people they're looking for cheap labour, enthusiasm, and someone with the right personality to fit within their existing team.

Try to have a bit more optimism. Your chances are as good as anyone else your age. :)

You've ben consistent.
 
I had a rubbish day at work yesterday and for some reason it’s still on my mind.

Basically my supervisor tried to deny my annual leave over the Xmas period. He said I needed to give others the opportunity to have that time of year off instead. I told him I take off Xmas because we’re quiet and it’s difficult to get into work as public transport briefly changes at that time of year. I was ready to fight him if he carried on but he relented and accepted my annual leave.

However it left me feeling incredibly angry as it turned out he hadn’t said this to anyone else wanting to book off annual leave. It was just me in the hopes I’d back down because he thinks I’m soft. Yet come the summer he will annually book off three weeks to fly back home to Slovakia to see his family, aka our busiest time of year.

What a hypocrite.

Oh and how many people had asked for time off over Xmas… three out of an employment of thirty. 😡
 
I was the victim of a crime and I only just reported it to the police but I'm trying my best to like... march on and not let this get to me. Everyday since leap day has been awful and I think each day that I cant feel any worse than I do in that moment but then another day passes and something escalates more and I DO feel worse. I'm waiting to hear back from police still and I contacted an organisation who could offer me very important support but I'm still waiting for them to get back to me too.
Its so frustrating and I feel really isolated because theres a lot of eyes on me right now. The high end of a three digit number :/. This all means I can only say so much otherwise I may compromise my own case, but Im a natural born yapper, I live to overshare. I've tried finding supports privately with little success,; my mum wont answer my messages and its been three days since I told her the position Im in and that I need support, (which is frustrating when she spends so often chastising me for not answering her much less serious texts :') ) I have so much more to say but it is probably better if I dont I just I hope all of this becomes easier to handle soon. And I hope that today may be the first day since leap day where I dont get told some additional, horrifying information that only serves to help my case against the perp.
 
After talking with a friend, this may be a false alarm, but I got quite the scare earlier. Someone messaged me on Discord saying they reported my Discord and Steam accounts on accident. They claimed someone was impersonating me.
If it’s the thing where they want to forward you to an admin or something that’s a common scam tactic. Hope nothing is up and you can just ignore the random user.
