My current alone situation
Grief & Loss / by ScarletKind

...See more I’m 42 years old and don’t have any children. I’m divorced and currently living alone, well, except I have a cat lol. Both my parents have passed away also, like other people in this group. I’ve had a LOT of trouble keeping jobs due to my anxiety and depression and past relationship trauma. But thankfully, right now, I do have a job, even though it’s been highly stressful and I’m having trouble keeping it. Ive called out sick to work more than I should have, due to my mental health issues, and my managers and coworkers aren’t happy about it, so my job is on the line. But I am just going to continue to do the best I can do and go to work as much as I can, and if they fire me or write me up, then that’s just what happens and I accept that, I guess. But until then, I’m going to keep trying my best to stay employed there. Ive tried to date but it’s been pretty discouraging, so I have stopped trying because it’s just better for me mentally to not put myself through that any more. Mostly my problems come from not having a good support group due to my lack of family and/or friends. I am isolated and also self-isolate even more when I get stressed. So I’m trying to work and force myself to talk more and socialize more, even though I don’t want to. I try to make myself go to church because the social aspect and the community does greatly improve my mental health each week. But when I can’t make myself go, then my work life suffers because that’s when I usually get super depressed and call out sick to work. I’m on new medication so I’m trying to adjust and I go see my therapist about every other week. I only have one friend that I can actually vent to a little, everyone else seems to caught up in their own stuff to handle my state. So, I’m on here to just open up and talk about my life, hopefully by doing so, also, de-stress myself some.
