My supervisor used to say I've improved from the first time around and that I'm acting professional. Then the fast food supervisor threatened a restraining order against me, at which point I felt that my world is ending. I felt like life has no point ever since.
I screwed around at other jobs, but definitely not to the extent that I ended up screwing around at Sam's. I sure as hell never did or said anything stupid on the salesfloor. I never before cried over every little things (e.g. spilling coffee) or called coworkers mom and nurses. The fact that I started to shows the extent of my mental breakdown.
I'm not blaming Sam's for me losing that job. I did something wrong and I got what I deserved. Sam's has nothing to do with that fast food supervisor hating me, so they shouldn't have to deal with my mental breakdown. Also, I've already been there 5 years 5 months.

You have posts on this forum going back to 2012 about doing inappropriate things at work and continually get fired/asked to quit, getting re-hired some time later, and then being let go again. You were behaving badly at each of these jobs, over many years. This one incident swearing on the sales floor is hardly the worst that you have reported doing. Had you not behaved badly before, you would not have been fired/asked to quit from several jobs. You also previously said your world was ending when you missed the company Christmas party. But, as you can see now, our worlds don’t end when we don’t get something we want. Learning how to regulate your emotions— and take responsibility for your own bad behavior— will make most of these problems go away. Most people have challenges in life that they have to overcome. They can’t just act out when they feel like it. Even young children learn that they have to act appropriately at school (their “work”). You can do it; just make the choice to behave appropriately.
