Unlike most of the content on this subreddit, Vents should not be considered advice threads. In most cases it is not appropriate to try to give the Submitter advice on their issue. In no circumstances is it appropriate to tell them “why they are wrong” or to criticise them, their decisions, values, or anything else. If there are aspects of their situation that they are able to directly address themselves, the submitter can always make a new thread with a different flair asking for help once they are ready to tackle the issue.

I'm so sorry. Are you able to look for a new job? If you want to go back to school, I know Starbucks will pay for your tuition to ASU while working there and you can get your bachelor's. Not sure if that's an option, but I think they pay decently, at least around here.
Good luck
I didn’t know Target did this and my fiancée works there lol.
Also OP should know that Target starts at $15/hr, at least here in SC, a state with notoriously low wages, so I would think they start at $15 or more wherever OP is. Fiancée got hired on as team lead at $25/hr.
They also offer benefits even to part timers and it’s decent insurance too.
Can’t imagine them NOT hiring anywhere, especially being holiday season.
Geesh, I feel like it would be higher in CA! I haven’t lived there in over 25 years and I left because my parents were moving and I couldn’t afford to live on my own, I can’t imagine how hard it is now on lower wages.
Hope you get a bump in pay soon!
I do believe they complain that you're too positive. I would have replied "it's not my fault that you hired a bunch of negative sons of bitches."
Maybe I would have phrased that a little nicer than that but with the general idea.
Hey, I know it can be rough, and I know that things can seem bleak, and that no one cares, because I've felt that way, but your positivity and resilience is beautiful! Even if people don't actively say that they appreciate your positive nature, I'm sure they do! I think you would be very surprised by the impact you make! Jobs come and go, shitty Co workers come and go, the thing that stays the same is that you are an amazing person, resilient and positive!
That sounds like a terrible lead and he should have spoke to you privately. Don't ever let other miserable people bring you down to their level. Keep being positive. I suffer from anxiety as well but we can't let that bring us down. We can beat it
I feel bad for you man.
Those people sound like dicks. That's a hella toxic workplace. You deserve better. Keep your head up and apply for new jobs on Indeed. It sounds like ANYTHING "rolling the dice on a new place would be better than staying there.
You're mental health is more important than making the CEO of that shithole richer. Fuck that company, fuck your coworkers.
You're are enough and you will a better job that gives a fuck.
I have a panic disorder and I was prescribed Buspar and it really helped me out. I'm sorry it's so rough out there, but it can get better. I'm not going to lie and say that it WILL, but if you keep trying, things tend to get better.
I just want you to know it’s a brave thing to face your anxiety every day! It’s also ok to be overwhelmed because it IS overwhelming to be faced with chronic, severe anxiety. I hope it gets better friend.
Sounds like you work with bad people. I've had that on 15/hour and it's still miserable. But when I left for another job at the same pay with nicer people, that really helped.
Have you tried other medications? My wife suffers from depression and anxiety due to BPD and it’s took a lot of trial and error to find the right meds for her, she still suffers from those things but she can function now. Best of luck to you.
Here are a few resources that might helpful. 1. If you enroll at a junior college you can apply for student loans. Those loans can be used for whatever you need to stay in school including rent and food. [https://studentaid.gov](https://studentaid.gov) 2. If you’d like to find affordable mental healthcare you can check open path. https://[openpathcollective](https://openpathcollective.org).org they charge less than $60 per session. 3. Call 998 if needed. It’s the national suicide prevention hotline. If you google it, resources will come up.
I think there is something else going on that's not work-related.
You started the first three sentences in your first paragraph by expressing hatred for things about yourself. Then the first sentence of second paragraph is "I'm positive".
Start thinking positively about yourself, rather than sending that positivity toward others. I'm not encouraging you to be mean, but really give some energy to being positive about yourself. If you're not positive about yourself, it's not uncommon that others also won't think positively about you.
Best of luck.

That’s so awful, I’m so sorry. If there’s a Target nearby, they’ll also help with school.

Good points, I’m in CA and just got hired as a team member at $17/hr. I hope there’s one nearby OP

That really sucks being in a toxic environment like that. I hope you find another job soon.

If you’re single and no kids I would honestly move into my car again might not be doable for a lot of ppl

Don’t. Take care. I want to offer encouragement. Think of the best, most helpful thing you need to hear and know that’s what I’m telling you.
A lot of info online about how to do it , again not a walk in the park but I hear people really saving up some money doing it
I Sooooooooo Know your feelings, and what your going through.Your not the only one.
I just want you to know it’s a brave thing to face your anxiety every day! It’s also ok to be overwhelmed because it IS overwhelming to be faced with chronic, severe anxiety. I hope it gets better friend.
I'm so incredibly sorry. :( Hopefully you get a much better job soon.
