I got lucky and have held a job with Anthropologie, my favorite retail store, for a year and 9 months. Its my favorite company and a good one to work for. Ive assimilated to the social situations and patterns there and have been told that ive grown into a very important member of the team. I am even trying to pursue managment.

However due to cheap rent i just moved out to a great place my boyfriend and i share with friends. I dont live too far from work, but its just far enough that a bike ride would be laborous. My transportation used to be my boyfriend due to the fact that i cant drive. I take the bus often now though because he started working 40 hours with his job and goes to school on top of that. Biking has become my emergency ride if necessary. However all this has caused me to get up very very early since i live in a most suburban city, and buses suck. I have a deal of walking even if i have to take the bus, my job is surprisingly physically demanding(more than other retailers), ive been under a lot of stress from the move, money, trying to make manager and navigate a whole new land of social and work expectations that go aling with it, my mother getting sick, and the death of a former coworker got me down even more.

Ive become physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. For the first time ever this showed at work beyond my ability to mask it and stop it from effecting my work. Worst of all it spanned 5 days. I finally felt better today but the problem still persists. This will happen again if i keep it up. Half of the problem is transportation but theres no way to solve that.

Yesterday i almost caved and was going to confide my aspergers to a trusted coworker and the troubles ive been having lately but i just couldnt do it. I need them to rely on me and see that i can hold my own. Especially if i want to be manager. Im so exausted and depressed a nights now. I love my job and have always loved my job but i cant keep this up and be able to work like this. I dont know what to do

Do you just not have your license or are truly incapable of driving? If the answer is the former, just take driving lessons on the weekend and buy a car. There's no need to rely on Communist Transportation. Driving is very relaxing so you can arrive at your job well rested.

The latter. I have already bought a car that my boyfriend and I pay for so i can get to work. Its just gotten more complicated latley is all.
