ghostrek Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) I'm not respected by my co-workers and they say I'm a bad worker or more currently i am not a hard worker which in my family means I'm not a person that carries my surname because we take pride in being hard workers so basically saying I'm not a member of my family in a odd way. I'm basically thinking of you know ending it all Edited December 9, 2020 by ghostrek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're genuinely considering suicide, call the hotline - you need help that you're not going to get here. If you're not genuinely considering suicide, get professional help anyway - you sound pretty depressed, which can warp not only the way you see yourself, but the way you think you're seen by others. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not getting feedback from your immediate boss or HR, be proactive and ask them if you're living up to expectations. If not, ask them what you need to improve on. You can also ask what you do well. A good manager will give you feedback. If they say they don't have time and won't say when they will - start looking elsewhere for work. Odds are your coworkers are fos. If you weren't doing your job well, you would have been let go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katt_goddess Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 On top of the Suicide Hotline number, there is also the SAMSAH number - 1-800-622-HELP [ 4357 ] . It's a free and can refer you to actual groups and people directly in your area to assist with any mental issues you are currently undergoing. I post this for general info. I also urge that you perhaps call one of the numbers here because sometimes just being able to talk directly to someone can make all the difference in the world, especially when you feel that no one listens to you. Posting on the boards to vent is helpful, it relieves some of the pressure and someone is always reading even if they don't respond. Someone is always reading. There are a hundred things at the very least that you are better at than any of your coworkers both big and little and one of them is just being you. Don't let the season's sniping take you out. If they think they can do better at your job, then they should pick up the slack themselves and prove it. But I'm guessing they can't / don't want to and the only way to get more done with less effort on their parts is to make you think things are your fault for not getting done by x or whatever their complaints are and making you do more of the work at a faster pace. Finally, the best revenge is not to remove yourself from the big picture. It's to live longer and better than those who would drag you down. Nothing pisses off a nay-sayer more than when their target succeeds. And the best part is, you determine what that is not them because your 'best life' is what makes you happy and they hate that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainyDayJizz#35 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Everybody already gave you good advice so I'm just another voice saying don't do that shit. Life can be shitty at times but hanging around is worth it I believe. The bad of life is never that bad, it just weighs on you when you have a lot. The good stuff... well you don't think about the bad when it's happening and you hold on to those good memories. And personally the bad memories that hang around for me are the ones that make me laugh about how big an idiot I was, or I get to laugh at how shitty people can really be. No matter how alone you may feel every person I've known to be alone made the choice to be that way. Even if you feel like there's no one there's probably someone.

It's a road that goes both ways. Give your kitty some cuddles [ because if nothing else will get through your funk, know that your kitty will miss you and kitty is right there with you now ] , watch some tv you enjoy and just forget about those bozos for awhile. If all they've got going on in their lives is attempting to make your life miserable, that's some pathetic goals right there and says everything that needs to be said about them. And good, keep up with your therapy. It's more important than you might think and there's nothing wrong with going. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skiles Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Never be afraid to reach out to a professional for help. Even if you have to go inpatient somewhere, do it. Take every necessary step to get yourself right.

You've been at your current job ten years so you've demonstrated willingness to work. See if you can find better conditions in a job that's similar or just looking for work experience. There are a lot of labor jobs that pay good money and if you're an early riser you can make bank. Landscapers make good money man. Even just try to find five better jobs to apply to every day. For some reason people hiring never like me, but if you put out enough apps you get somewhere eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsar4 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 For whoever might need to see it... Mike Rowe 14m · Don’t Jump Last Thursday on Hannity, I had a conversation I didn’t think I was going to have. This is not unusual. Most of the time on programs like these, the producer tells me the topic beforehand, I organize my thoughts, and then, the host takes things in a completely different direction at the last moment. Last Thursday, for instance, I thought we were going to discuss the student loan fiasco, which I wrote about earlier in the week. I was prepared to double down on my comments regarding the forgiveness of debt, gently explain my resistance to doing so, and conclude with my foundation’s commitment to award another million dollars in work-ethic scholarships in the coming year. Then, I figured I’d walk upstairs, pour a bourbon, and scroll through the inevitable outrage in the comments section. Instead, I wound up discussing George Bailey. Specifically, a scene from my favorite Christmas movie of all time, (that really isn't a Christmas movie,) "It’s a Wonderful Life." Actually, it was Candice Owens, in the prior segment, who made me think of George Bailey. Candace had just made reference to two unflattering terms used by some to describe millions of Americans - "irredeemable" and "deplorable." Having just re-watched Frank Capra’s classic film for the thousandth time, I couldn’t help but think of George Bailey, the tortured dreamer who finds himself standing on the bridge in Bedford Falls, staring into the swirling water below, contemplating suicide. I wondered - did George Bailey feel "irredeemable" in that moment? Did he feel "deplorable?" I bet he did. I bet everyone who ever contemplated their own demise, has felt a measure of both. Then, as my segment was about to begin, Hannity threw to a few soundbites of ordinary citizens who had lost their livelihoods during the lockdown. Specifically, restaurant owners who could do nothing but watch as everything they worked for slowly slipped away. As they spoke, with tears in their eyes, I thought about the woman who owned the Pineapple Grill in Sherman Oaks - a nice little outdoor café that was recently shut down the same day a giant outdoor catering operation was allowed to open in her parking lot, in order to feed the cast a crew of a TV show that was still in production. I recall the despair in that woman's voice. The desperation. And again, I thought of George Bailey, perched there on the edge of that bridge, coming to the terrible conclusion that he was worth more dead than alive. I also thought about the suicide hotlines all over the country, many of which are receiving more calls than ever before. And it occurred to me that there is a better word to describe the way people feel who decide to jump from this life into the next. A word that’s become as ubiquitous as "irredeemable" and "deplorable," but far more insulting, and far more deadly. That word, is "non-essential." It didn’t strike me just how cruel the term was in March, back when we began referring to doctors and nurses and first responders as "essential workers." Because really, who could argue with that characterization? What else can you call a worker who risks their lives to keep us safe? But then, as the lockdowns wore on, the list of essential workers began to grow. Plumbers turned out to be essential, and for good reason. So too, did grocery store clerks. And gas station attendants. And Amazon delivery drivers. And construction workers. And farmers. And electricians. And, believe it or not, actors. And broadcasters. And podcasters. And people who host TV shows. I kid you not. Here in California, I'm on the same list of essential workers as cops and doctors and firemen. Thus, I've worked constantly since March, and kept my people employed. In fact, just last week, I was allowed to fly to LA to film a commercial. To get there, I boarded a sold-out flight, where I sat cheek to jowl with two perfect strangers, one of whom struggled to control a nasty cough behind her cloth mask. How is any of this sensible? How is is remotely fair? Why is filming a commercial "essential," but running a restaurant not? Why are crowded planes safe, but crowded churches not? And how can anyone expect a rational citizen to obey elected officials who refuse to follow their own rules? I have no answers to these questions, but as I waited last Thursday to answer whatever trenchant query Hannity might eventually throw my way, it occurred to me that the majority of people who punch their own ticket do so not merely because they feel "irredeemable," or "deplorable." I think most people hang on right till they come to believe that they have become "non-essential." That’s how I think George Bailey felt, standing there on that bridge. He was a man with nothing to offer. A man who believed he was worth more dead than alive. A man who would have surely killed himself, but for an angel named Clarence who dropped into the rushing river and gave George Bailey something to do. Something essential. The holidays are a rough time of year for a lot of people. In particular, this holiday. In particular, this year. To those millions of Americans who have lost your livelihoods, now teetering on the edge your own metaphorical bridge, wondering if perhaps you’re worth more dead than alive, I say this: You still matter. You are still essential to someone, even if only to yourself. Why? Because you are still a part of a great tapestry - a single tile in a mighty mosaic that connects us all. And, because you are still loved. Which is a long way of saying, don’t jump. Anyway, that's what I talked to Hannity about, last Thursday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, that's what I talked to Hannity about, last Thursday. @tsar4issue is part of it is I'm over essential meaning I'm overworked reasons no one wants to clean because they're scared of the damn virus and over this past year everyone was getting more money than what we pay due to state unemployment and the Federal money given on top of that so so yeah this is shows why a universal basic income doesn't work I also can understand why some people are non-essential and feeling worthless because frankly under normal times that's how I feel most of the time for separate reasons than being out of work Edited December 20, 2020 by ghostrek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilosipherStoned Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) A review huh. I said a new hobby, but I kind of like your youtube shit.. I mean...One of my favorites was the ADHD PSA you put out one time though.. I'm not much into startrek at all. I don't even know any of the canon and story lines for a lot of that kind of shit you review so don't expect a good review from me if you're going to be discussing old sci fi stuff. I get that's one of your big interests though so do it and I'll check it out maybe.. Edited December 20, 2020 by PhilosipherStoned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilosipherStoned Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) Nah that's the one with the female crew for whatever reason ghostbusters needed that right? I've been meaning to watch it though so yeah I might check that one out I guess. I've heard mostly negative things, but I can't knock it till I see it. 🙂 Edited December 20, 2020 by PhilosipherStoned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilosipherStoned Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) Oh wow I freaking barely remember the old ghostbusters since I was a little chitlun when an adult tried to get me to watch the first one, and I wasn't impressed, but my attention span probably failed like after 5 mins of trying to watch it every time. I need to give all of the ghostbusters another watch, but it's like.. eh life. Don't dissapoint me with your video, and maybe I want have to watch the old ones again though.
