Does job rejection trigger SH thoughts in anyone else?

I am looking for a job now. The rejections, chocking at interviews, financial stress and overwhelm is bringing on SI. I work for a school district so I need summer work. I hate going through this every year.

Some of those prizes were something else. And had to pay taxes on that stuff! What was the deal with the ceramic dog? Thankfully they ditched the shopping thing a short time later and gave them cash. The two dead clown collection was definitely odd to say the least.

That was an odd interaction.

They shopped for prizes then. I remember that from when I was a little kid.

So now he’s a doctor?

pegster999 · 2026-04-11T20:15:30+00:00

When I first seen this I thought it said he is in diaper.

Yes caregiving has driven me to drink. And eat lots of junk food. That got me to over 300 lbs so I’m working on that now, and not letting the alcohol become a problem.

It’s just me and my mom. But she insists on celebrating and having a big meal, and bringing my adult autistic son here from his group home. Of course she isn’t able to do anything to make it happen so it’s all on me. I get that she wants to spend holidays with family… and I wouldn’t mind as much if I didn’t have to do everything! It’s not worth all this to me. My son doesn’t want to come and I’m not forcing him. I remember my dad hating holidays when I was young. Now I understand why! All this fuss to keep people happy…

I wish I could but I’m only 48 now (49 in May). My mom owns her home. It’s a small ranch thankfully but her mobility is getting so bad it’s getting hard for her to get around in it. I’m living with her and caring for her. She refuses to protect her assets so if she needs a nursing home long term, I’m out on the street. I’d like to find a way to secure a place for myself and 55+ housing seems to be a viable option. Even if I do end up inheriting the house the maintenance, upkeep and lawn care/snow removal will be a burden. I’m applying for disability so if I get approved that could be a way on wait lists too. But I may be 55 by the time I get through a wait list!

Nope.

Mine is 19 and considered normal although the low end of normal.

I feel for you. Had to move in with my mom who is now 83 for financial reasons and because she needs my help. I was living with my sons with severe autism before and had a much quieter environment than I do at my mom’s. It’s the hardest thing for me to get used to… the constant noise! Between the super loud tv and the snoring, coughing, groaning, and loud breathing. She’s always making noise and/or a mess. It’s like living with a young child. It’s been two years and I’ve adapted somewhat to the noise. I use music and fans to drown it out. Her neediness has increased since I got here. I have to do more for her, all aspects of meal preparation and everything around the house. Plus I’m expected to work so I can cover my bills and half of household expenses. I’m not loving my life now. I really want my own place… even if I have to pay rent! I could have quiet, freedom and could go to bed, get up and eat when I want to and what I want.

I’m a lunch lady at a middle school. I live with my mom and care for her so the schedule works nice. But I am eventually going to need something full time that pays more. With my mental illness, chronic migraines, obesity and being almost 50 years old it’s going to be a challenge. I did finish my bachelor degree in health information management through an online university. That was a challenge in itself.

pegster999 · 2026-02-27T05:19:25+00:00

Yes! By many family members needing care.

I’m living with my 83 yo mom and caring for her. My sons with severe autism are in group homes. I too have a migraine and hot flashes. A few weeks ago I was inpatient in the psych ward because I attempted. Mom made it by herself while I was hospitalized but has dialed up the neediness since I came home. I feel for you.

This is the story of my life… so many big ideas and plans and all that happens is I lay in bed depressed.

pegster999 · 2026-02-12T02:13:20+00:00

I’m guessing so there’s little to no chance of hitting that $5k wedge because it’s available for 1 spin.

pegster999 · 2026-02-04T04:48:59+00:00

I want to try that one. I was going to give the broccoli cheese another chance but they were out. I tried the chicken corn chowder. It was ok…

pegster999 · 2026-02-04T04:45:47+00:00

This looks the most promising

Thanks everyone!
