| As i've had the job i'm in before, I know what sort of job it is and how i've coped before i had a mental breakdown and left it in one of those 'heat of the moment' decisions. I also have experience in other sectors, like cleaning and office work, and can safely say I don't belong in any of them and... |

| Or you could be on the other side of the equation, where bullies from school have high-paying jobs, families who look after them, have kids of their own with a wife/gf who loves them for who they are - where i'm left with student loan debt as a uni dropout due to mental health issues and stuck in mi... |

| If you have the inability to form normal friendships with people and maintaining that connection short or long term, it's probably safe to say it's infinitely harder to get and keep a romantic or sexual relationship. Personally, i've not been looking or interested in one because I can't think of bei... |

| After 6 years of unemployment, I started paid work at age 27 lasting 3 years and left due to stress from sensory overload (busy & noisy warehouse), and lasted 1 year in a similar job for 16 hrs a week after that for possibly the same reasons and an ultimatum between me and my manager about takin... |

| I try to live by what seems to a universal rule of if you take something from life, it will take it back in some form, in events like: -- a good feeling or good omen after a long period of depression, -- feeling fortunate to be alive after a traumatic event, -- retreating to your quiet space from a ... |

| First two jobs were full time, except very first was a brutal 12-hour shift which I was in no way prepared for, involving heavy lifting, fast paced work and doing the messy jobs. So 1st job didn't last a week, 2nd one I stayed in far longer because I could compare it to how bad the first was. But it... |
