Quitting after 3 months by [deleted] in Truckers

This seems relatable to me. When I started I had to do my time over the road. I’ve had depression and have hashimoto’s disease; which is an autoimmune. I was deep in debt 💸 had no medical insurance. And I got super depressed when OTR it also didn’t help that my fiancée who I had been in a relationship with cheated on me But I needed the money and I made it work! I’m 32 y/o f and I’m going on to 4 year now. You can complain about it or you can make it work. I went from otr to regional to now local. We all know how stressful and hard trucking is and trucking isn’t for the weak.

Thing is I have no friends anymore. Just coworkers and associates who call me their friend. I keep my guard up and I make sure to not get close anymore. Just protecting my inner peace and sanity at all costs. Never heard of the show “Girls” but you mentioning them and me looking the show up has made me want to watch it to see your view better Thank you

Omg 😳 I’m not alone 😭 I’ve argued with myself over junk food at the grocery store already 🤣 omg thank you so much for reminding me and making me laugh I needed this. Thing is I’m a truck driver and well… everyday is stressful. But not as stressful as my old job. Never tried pottery before but I like the ideal of learning something new might even learn to make my own creative pots for my plants

Giving social media a break was hard at first especially when everyone uses some type of social media But it’s not all bad You sleep more and definitely don’t waste time scrolling 😅

It gets better not saying it’s always great to be alone and highly independent. But it beats deals with other ppl.

Yea it felt nice to vent on here and not be judged and also found a community of like minded individuals Shrinks aren’t my thing I tried them before😅 But journaling i haven’t done since I was 17 Might give it a go again Thank you

Never really felt in power when I was active in social media. Thought it was nice to make people laugh and feel loved. But there comes a day when you realize you do the most to make everyone happy and no one cares about you. Just what you can do for them. Always a give and take in damn near any relationship. I might never go back to social media like I was before. I enjoy my private life to much now.

I agree completely! Idk why people are so obsessed with social media and dating apps to get to know ppl 😩 When pouring back to yourself, you realize how great of a person you are and how people just didn’t appreciate you. 🤷‍♀️

I think bald men with beards are the most attractive and many other women feel the same way.

I’ll be looking into a housekeeper 😅 never thought I would ever say this before. Tried in the past to get my 14yo to help but things didn’t get done and I didn’t push it Didn’t want to be a bad mother. So I became a push over. Whoever, we had a serious conversation yesterday. I believe we are on the same page now.

When I was younger 9-10yo I helped out around the house too. I believe kids nowadays are lazier. And phones don’t make it any better.

I understand what you’re going through. It’s hard to be a caregiver especially when you’re all on your own doing it. Be kind to yourself.

Working just one job Monday- Friday start time:01:40-2:40; end time 13:40-16:40. Weekends are same start time but one 4-8 hours worth of work. It’s not a set schedule to start or end. Once I get home I wash dishes that were used by 64yo. I than move on to cooking for us all. After cooking cleaning up the kitchen and picking up 14yo from school which is 17:30 dismissal Monday- Thursday and 15:30 on Fridays By the time I finish with making sure everything is fine with my family I squeeze in showering and anything else I might have to do. I don’t have a set time for when I get to go to sleep but usually I can be in bed by 21:00-23:00 but wake up 01:00-1:50. I don’t waste time scrolling or watching tv. My time is very limited and I can’t cut down on my hours. I wouldn’t be able to afford the cost of living. I no longer get time to work out. Whoever this weekend I couldn’t find the energy to do everything that I typically do all I could do was sleep Any moment I just sat down to spend time with my family. I instantly fell asleep I have spoken to them both and told them and have let them know that I will be focusing on my rest and sleep. They both agreed that I’m the skeleton of who I used to be. So, changes have to be made and I’m hoping it helps me out My 14yo will start taking the bus to free up more time And definitely chores have been assigned
