I told myself to stay out of this, but feel I have to chime in.
Ruby, I am going to join in with others. Work is work. Your co-workers and manager are NOT your therapist. Work is NOT the place to discuss your emotional problems. I've worked fast food. Gotta say the people I worked with were not the kindest people in the world. They gossiped and laughed at people who were "different." I'm not surprised to hear that people who previously were polite to you have turned "mean." Stop talking about the GM who left. Forget changing your name. If you need to go home because you are emotionally upset don't tell them that. Just tell them you don't feel well or don't tell them anything. Clock out and go home.
Talk to your caseworker from VR about helping you find a different kind of job. That's what they are there for. It's commendable that you found a job on your own, but it doesn't sound like a good placement for you.
