I have to go talk to T about being fired from my job. I am glad to have the opportunity to see her (she has been away for a few weeks) but I worry about her response. I did so much work in therapy and the 12-step groups I have been attending and I felt like it paid off by my being hired.
That was 2 months ago.
I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up. That was dumb.
I should know that work (jobs) never work out for me.
Maybe I actually even feel angry at her for letting me get my hopes up.
Maybe I just feel hurt and disappointed by the way I was treated at this company.
Heaven knows it was a highly-dispensable low-paying job, why should I be treated with respect?
I feel like I will be in and out of these positions my whole life. Just the way it goes for me.

I'm SO Sorry about your job. Keep trying something will work out. I'm gladed your going to talk to your t about this. Don't be scared of her response, things just take time. Keep your head up, don't be so hard on yourself.

I'm sorry the job didn't work out and really hope something better turns up; something where you will be respected and where you will be treated well. I hope you are able to share all of what you said here with your T, including the anger with her, and that it helps. Hoping doesn't sound dumb to me; just hurtful because it didn't work this time

sorry. I think the way the US economy works is stupid and inhuman. So many jobs treat people awfully. I still think it is worth it to keep trying though.
Thanks for this!

I just saw a story on tonight's news that everyone feels like there's more rudeness at their jobs these days and the psychiatrist they interviewed was saying it's because people are so stressed at having to work harder because not enough workers can be hired, etc.

I don't think it's "you". I hope you can find a better job that you both like more and that likes you more.

All of these ^ sound like excellent things to discuss with your T. Keep us posted on your progress?

It is so painful to lose a job for any reason. I hope your session gave you some relief and reassurance to take home with you
Thanks for this!
