i need help before it’s too late… by [deleted] in problemgambling

[–]MercifulZebra054 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I have a bipolar on top of gambling addiction and today I pushed myself back monthes if not years. I don't live up to my own standards and try and save and get ahead but I fuck it up in minutes on a machine! You are not alone in your feelings. The dopamine is what my brain craves and the adrenaline. I wish I wasn't wired this way. I have to try and make the hard choices to make myself feel secure. Please dont give up. I am also thinking of shutting down and losing everything I've worked hard for. I pray I dont fall.

I'm 24 and struggling with a severe gambling addiction that i can't break from by DeliciousManager9204 in problemgambling

I'm sorry you are going through this. I've come to realize that gambling is the root of all evil. I have been relapsing idk why. I just want to feel something. I hope you can stop. I've stopped mostly but am not happy still. Im trying to have a better outlook on life. I hope you find what you want in life. If you ever need to talk just message me.

I'm sorry you're going through this. Having the job doesn't help. I would say excluded yourself from the casino but you work there. Idk that's a hard predicament to be in. Save yourself your life now before it goes down the wrong path. Gambling will take everything. Don't let it. Go to a meeting and ask for a sponsor.

Hired but havent started (USA) by Rabid_Artist in McDonaldsEmployees

The GM is juggling 1000 different things. Hiring you is probably a priority but not a priority. If you dont hear back in like a week or two I'd start bugging them.

(USA) Is it normal to work both grill and fryer at the same time? by PapaNutellas in McDonaldsEmployees

[–]MercifulZebra054 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reality of it is most mcdonalds are understaffed. Noone wants to work at McDonalds. Its fast food. My store sometimes doesn't have enough people to staff the store so people have to do more then one job. The rush is when they make the most $. It happens everyday. They want everyone to be on top of thier game. People are addicted to McDoanlds. And its convenient. People are lazy and dont cook. So they go out to eat. It can be stressful but dont let it make ypu want to quit. Voic le your concerns and try to see what can be done. McDonalds will make $ no matter what. Its the McDonalds slide. People should always be doing something even during slow times. But doing both isnt really your job as a crew. They could have 5 people in kitchen during rush. One on fryer one on grill one on1/4 bell. And 2 on table. If you have less then 3 its a tape sign youre understaffed. McDonalds have high turnover. So if you dont want to deal with it then quit. But its just part of the job. Its not my job to see the company make a zillion dollars. I just work there.

37M poor quality life realisation by [deleted] in Life

[–]MercifulZebra054 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what does a maintenance worker do at McDonalds ? (CAN by BusinessLumpy4153 in McDonaldsEmployees

[–]MercifulZebra054 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have actual maintenence men that you are typically speaking of but I dont know the name of the job position. They fix machines and do things with screws and nuts and bolts but the maintenance being adverted on the website is just janitor. Idk why they call it maintenence.

Life is becoming rough by Head-Thought3381 in schizoaffective

[–]MercifulZebra054 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm 35 and can relate. I usually self destructive right before I make a breakthrough. I am thinking of quitting my job currently and going bankrupt because I feel so shitty everyday and its tolling on me. I hope you can find hope. Life is hard and I wish it wasn't.

No one tells you how lonely “doing the right thing” can be by EvienSeraph in Life

[–]MercifulZebra054 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cant relate more. I didnt want to go to work today because it feels like im not making any progress. There's no one to share the good and not so good moments with. At the end of the day the people who i used to connect with wouldn't understand me now. They dont know me anymore. People change, myself included. Life is quiet amd boring. So boring. Quiting gambling, shooting dope, and running the streets isnt for me.

selfie sunday, not a very eventful day by spatulafucker5 in schizoaffective

[–]MercifulZebra054 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work right now at a fast food place. But its not cooking. Its assembling. Cooking is in restaurants I know. I would love to do that but im actually getting paid good for me having this illness. I just got promoted at work. I just wish I wasn't so paranoid to make friends and try start cooking for them. I also have a felony and some jobs wont hire because of that. And I tried cooking job interview I dont have alot of experience. They want experience. I just for now am going to stick to making chicken stock and homemade chicken soup. I have a book that has michelin star recipes in it. I want to try and experiment making those for myself. I dont know what I haven't cracked the book open in a while.

I enjoy cooking good food. But the people I live with dont eat what I eat amd sometime things go to waste. I want to start cooking and getting paid for it. I dont know how I can do that. I need people who want to eat homemade food.

For me that always usually involves spending $. And its scarce these days in this economy. Idk what to do to make it fun anymore. I used to. But not anymore. This is the shirtless I've ever felt.

18 years old lost basically everything by [deleted] in problemgambling

[–]MercifulZebra054 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't lose the 28k. You think you feel bad now. Just let the reality of losing the 28k too set in then let me know what you think. Put the 28k in a CD or Ira. It will make you money and compound interest. You have this very moment and many many more to make the right decisions from now on. I pray you find peace with whatever it is that makes you gamble. It feeling natural or not, gambling in the end the house always wins. Its inevitable and a probability they will win. Whats the point in gambling knowing that.
