Will I be able to keep a job?
I have been having just severe fear that I will never be able to keep a job or make friends because I have ADHD and mild Autism. I have support from family and husband but I can never be fully emotional with anyone because they cannot handle it. But with work I’ve tried to be quiet, outgoing and I tend to excel in my field quickly because I don’t really rely on anyone. I do pretend to need people to interact and not because too much hostility to me. But I’m almost looking for new jobs every year because I’ve been assaulted, stalked, fired because of how my mind works. Not my thought process but actually have been told that I need to be brought down to be humble. But how much more humble and patient can I be where people stomp on me like a bug. I feel like there is no support for people, people can do whatever they want and I feel helpless. I have to make sure everything gets documented, just to keep me safe.

hi hi! first off, welcome to 7 Cups! i'm really glad you're here, even though i wish it were under easier circumstances. it takes a lot to open up, and i just want to take a moment to say,i see you. what you're going through sounds so incredibly exhausting and frustrating, and honestly? it makes total sense that you're feeling this way. trying to navigate the working world is already a rollercoaster (and not the fun kind with cotton candy at the end), but when you're also dealing with people who just...don't get it? ugh. that's a whole other level of unfair
i can feel how much effort you put in, how you try different approaches, adapt, push forward, and yet, you've had to face things that sound incredibly unfair and difficult. it's heartbreaking, and no wonder it's making you question everything. feeling like you have to constantly document things just to stay safe? that's not how it should be
but even through all this, you're here. you're talking about it. and that says so much about your strenght. when you think back on everything, has there been anything that's helped you hold onto yourself through it? even just little things? because i want you to know, you deserve support, and you're absolutely not alone it this
sending lots of warmth your way🫶
I think having my husband and my mom for support. Although they dont really understand my personal struggle. But just mindset that i love me and thats enough. Its just annoying that i have to deal with people that hate on me. Its making me want to isolate and stay home only or wish i win the lottery to travel. Lol but yeah. I try and do new things.
thanks for the positive words
@Jaykrisjuno
awww yeah, that totally makes sense! having that support, even if they don't fully get it, is still something, right? and loving yourself? that's HUGE. you're doing amazing just by holding onto that💜
ugh, people being like that is just the worst tho. i totally get why it makes you wanna retreat (or win the lottery, not gonna lie, solid plan😂). but even with all that, you're out here, trying new things nad that's something worth celebrating✨
rooting for you big time! take care of yourself, okay? you deserve it❤️
