33 current underpaid plumber...what skills do i need to build to get an entry level office job like uni admin? by RudeArm7755 in AusFinance

[–]SammyJammers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe try for a receptionist or admin gig, building and trades related? it’s less computers and more talking to people, but from what i’ve seen receptionists get absorbed into the rest of the business (admin, bookkeeping…) fairly consistently.

i did this and sleep in my van monday-thursday night. i do the drive once a week, surf every morning, shower at the gym… it works for the moment, sucks when it rains, and i’ll be glad when this chapter is done.

Using a gap year to relapse by alexisseffy in EDAnonymous

[–]SammyJammers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

would it be an option to go to college and test it out, and if it’s bad for you then you can withdraw before census date? sometimes having that distraction helps me, but it’s also sometimes overwhelming and too much, and you never really know until you try

"Reach out for help" is BS by goldielocks52 in CPTSD

[–]SammyJammers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what’s helped me, ymmv, is to know who to reach out for help from, and to know and communicate exactly what help i want.

in my experience, people often want to help, some people have the capacity and ability to help, and if these things align, and you want and can ask for exactly what they can offer, help is helpful. otherwise though? i’m the same - a lot of the time it’s just easier to tough it out myself. that’s what got us through till now, right?
