I am SO ANNOYED!

I really, really want to go back to fulltime work. I talked to my boss in great detail today. The only thing is my family isn't happy about it. I had a fight with my grandma earlier about it. AND I cant do it unless I get a raise as right now I don't make enough per hour to even break even between my part time job and SSDI. I want to get off SSDI so bad and get my life back. Im doing very well. Even my pdoc and psyd are proud of me. my former t is my friend now and she believes in me and said go for it if I can get the raise.

my boss is open to me working fulltime but said she cant give me more money because the move is "lateral" and therefor stays the same. I was honest with her and just said how much I love my job and WANT this job and am capable of doing it and doing it right. I then asked if there was any other interest for the position. she said only one has an interview and no one else. she said she knows nothing about him or if she will even like him.

then she said shed prefer ME! I was so excited that she said that. shes going to ask if I can get a raise.

I may end up disappointed but right not I haven't lost hope because shes going to at least ASK and she herself said shed prefer I have it.

I feel like everyone is treating me like a fragile child

Hey! It's been so long since I've been on here much. Im so glad to hear you are doing so well I really hope your boss can get the raise for you. I have some idea of how you feel and its rough to be so excited and unsure trying to keep your excitement in check. I have a temp job I love more than anything right now and it could be ending in a month or 2 but there is a possibility I could get another spot that would be likely another 6 months. I want it so bad but there is only so much my boss can do even though she has told me several times she wants me there longer and so do my coworkers so Im holding my breath too.

Definitely update us when you find out, I will be crossing my fingers for you!

Best of luck!!!

Good luck! In the past I went from being on disability straight to full-time work, and as it was the right time for me I adjusted really easily. Don't let others bring you down. Especially if you really believe you can do it. Years later I had to go back on disability but I really enjoyed my time working full-time.

Good luck in getting the full time job.

I found out today I have been accepted in the Human Services program in college nearby that I have enrolled in for Spring semester. I want to both go to school and work fulltime but its not possible. At least not now! SO...IF I get a raise and its high enough I will def take the job and if NOT...I will go to school.

Good but hard, hard decision should I have the two available.

I talked to my psychologist today about it ALL and he supports whatever I decide to do and that really helps me. Then we did some EMDR and I cried and cried. I have never cried in front of him and it felt strange to be so moved. I have been upset before but NEVER cried in front of him. I was slightly embarassed at first but so overcome with emotion from the memory that I didnt care. He assured me it will probably happens even more but its ok. See I used to get mocked by my abuser for crying and the memories are about her...

I know that feeling more than anything; it sucks being young because nobody has any respect. I really hope you get the full time position and maybe even a raise.

I too am going to school and working full time it is certainly a challenge but I can understand your trepidation.
