Age: 31
Gender: Female, I think?
Location: Southern USA, Super Small Town
Current Job: Meat Market Manager @ Grocery Store

Have the money/means to move house? No.
Highest Education Level: High School Diploma
Mental/Physical Diagnoses: ADD, General Seizure Disorder
Skills: None
Hobbies: None

I cannot handle my current job position. I accepted a promotion because I couldn't handle my previous position (cashier) due to it being far too customer-facing.

I need to get out of this job, but I can't go without an income.

The only available job positions in town that I am able to get to: my current job, stocker, cashier, fast food cook, waitress.

I cannot consider at home jobs because I am not able to get anything done at home even when I want to.

I cannot do this anymore. I just want all of this to end. What do I do?

do you have any degree

languid dagger Oct 28, 2023, 7:08 PM

#

No

#

Education settings and situations involving myself freak me out too much.

proud owl Oct 28, 2023, 7:40 PM

#

okay

#

do you have a GED

#

or graduated

languid dagger Oct 28, 2023, 7:58 PM

#

I graduated.

proud owl Oct 28, 2023, 8:03 PM

#

okay

#

what do you excel in

#

math? numbers? ect

languid dagger Oct 28, 2023, 8:05 PM

#

Nothing

proud owl Oct 28, 2023, 8:06 PM

#

what are you good at

#

then other things

#

are you better at math then englishe

#

ect

languid dagger Oct 28, 2023, 8:06 PM

#

I'm better at reading than doing anything else I guess.

#

There's no top 3. It's just reading and then everything else. But I don't really excel at it anymore

#

That's reading to myself silently, mind. Reading aloud is not easy because my own speaking distracts me from reading which makes me need to stop and try again because I can't keep up

#

what do you enjoy doing

languid dagger Oct 28, 2023, 8:10 PM

#

proud owl Oct 28, 2023, 8:10 PM

#

on the side you could try to start writing and sell books to make extra cash.

#

itll relieve you of stress too

languid dagger Oct 28, 2023, 8:10 PM

#

I'm not all that great at writing

proud owl Oct 28, 2023, 8:11 PM

#

so?

#

no ones always good at something

#

simply learn to write better and better

#

it takes time

#

you got freetime i assume?

languid dagger Oct 28, 2023, 8:11 PM

#

I can't do anything I'm not good at

proud owl Oct 28, 2023, 8:11 PM

#

keep trying

#

keep writing

#

do you know how to write a paper?

languid dagger Oct 28, 2023, 8:11 PM

#

Not really

proud owl Oct 28, 2023, 8:12 PM

#

what do you know how to do

#

what are you good at

languid dagger Oct 28, 2023, 8:12 PM

#

Watching YouTube. That's about it.

proud owl Oct 28, 2023, 8:18 PM

#

alright

#

make youtube videos then

#

do reactions videos

#

cooking videos

languid dagger Oct 28, 2023, 8:18 PM

#

I don't think I'd be very good at making content.

proud owl Oct 28, 2023, 8:19 PM

#

you think that

#

but have you tried?

#

you limit yourself by only doing what you think ur good at, but its just a thought

#

break that mental bind, you can do literally anything you want aslong as you don't hold urself down believing ur shit at everything

languid dagger Oct 28, 2023, 8:19 PM

#

Well if it doesn't turn out good then it has to be destroyed

proud owl Oct 28, 2023, 8:19 PM

#

no it doesnt

#

keep trying

languid dagger Oct 28, 2023, 8:19 PM

#

Yes it does

#

If I create something that isn't finished in a couple minutes and isn't exactly as it is in my head, it has to be destroyed.

proud owl Oct 28, 2023, 8:22 PM

#

okay

#

you most likely

languid dagger Oct 28, 2023, 8:22 PM

#

Doesn't matter if other people like it or if no one sees it, or even if it's just practice. That's how it has to be.

proud owl Oct 28, 2023, 8:23 PM

#

you show signs of imposter syndrome ect

#

you should get checked

languid dagger Oct 28, 2023, 8:23 PM

#

I don't feel like I don't have the talent to be where I'm at.

proud owl Oct 28, 2023, 8:24 PM

#

#

#

languid dagger Oct 28, 2023, 8:30 PM

Look, I am in a similar situation. I'm 33, can't stand my actual job atm and NEED to just change something because my life has become a giant ball of boredom and nothing new. I don't know what I like, what I'm good at, or even who I actually am. Still, even though is hard as hell, I'm trying to change something. I started to try and learn how to code. See if I adapt, see if it's something I can pursue as a job. I'm not good at anything as well, but if I don't start doing something, than this is all there is to life and nothing's going to be better. If you really want to feel better, do something about it. Even if it's not perfect. Nothing ever is perfectly perfect. Let go of you wrong notion that if something's not good enough, that you're not good enough. There's good in imperfection. It shows progress. It shows willingness to get better. Like Naketm said, get a therapist. They can help align you with what you can/can't do and likes/dislikes. And also helping you with your imposter syndrome. Best of luck
