People get sick. Stuff happens. That does NOT make a person worthless. I shouldn't be rejected just because of one mistake, or for being sick.

I AM NOT WORTHLESS!!!

Why can't people see that?
... Even worse, why can't I?

You are right - you are not worthless. I am sorry to hear you are having such a difficult time of it. Is this something that can be pursued to make others understand your health issues? Praying you will get this situation sorted out - you should not be rejected.
Thanks for this!

Turquoisesea, your entire post deserves to placed on a billboard or, better yet, carved on the face of a rocky desert so it's visible from space.

Well, all I can do is join the posted and unposted chorus of voices affirming your value.

You're right, you're NOT worthless, and you should not be rejected or discriminated against because of your health. If it's something you can pursue (like being denied a particular right) I would recommend doing it. If it's not ... well, whoever is rejecting you is not worth your time.

I hope things start looking up for you soon.

I hope today is a better day for you than yesterday!!!!

Is it?

Can you share a little more of what is going on? Maybe we could help. Or maybe you need to just vent some more. Whatever you need.

thank you everyone. Just ranting on this post helped some.

It's hard for me to see my worth now for many reasons...
1. I'm not in school, all my friends ARE. I got forced on leave for medical reasons and they won't even look at me to evaluate me yet, even though I got a letter saying they would.
2. At my new job, the first day of training made me very uncomfortable, and made me almost feel I had to do stuff like flirt with people etc to fit in and I'm not about that.
3. I'm having trouble practicing because I'm not in school *see a pattern?* - not being able to do what I love to do hurts me and makes me feel insufficient.
4. I want to be able to help my boyfriend out with his school - he's had a hard time with school more recently but I feel I'm dragging him down by feeling this way and all the stress I'm under.
5. I have problems with the kitties I live with and feeling animosity towards them brings me down.
6. I feel VERY isolated from all my friends, as they're all going to classes and I'm not , so I never see them *I should probably call them but it's a bit hard, esp today because I have a night shift - so when they get off from school I go to work >.>

long list, sorry for it, but that's kinda what I'm at right now. I AM glad I got a job, but I WILL be looking for another one where I'm more comfortable if my dislike of this work situation persists.

hugs to you all, your words of comfort and support do mean a lot - it's so much easier when you have a chorus singing out the words rather than just one voice

You are absolutely right! You are wonderful.

Do you have any nights off when you could get together with your friends?
I'm sure they would be happy to see you, but may not know how to reach out to you. Take care of yourself.
Thanks for this!

well so far it's mostly been working on this job

the other job options are near impossible since I am in "training" for a job they don't want to take me away from that job.

So for now I've decided to give this job my all, and if it REALLY is no good then I'll quit. It's gotten better so far... my last day of training is tomorrow, there's a test - I'm nervous. There's a LOT to remember. But we'll see. I'll try to keep you informed, thanks so much for caring everyone

No one can ask for more, and that does sound like a good plan. Wishing you confidence and success!
