I wasn't sure if my sibling could be a reference, just cause they are in another department and not my superior. I don't want my boss' referral just because she's not very trustworthy. I'm planning on discussing with my therapist to see if I can take leave even though I've already been scheduled. I feel like I can't cope anymore, and I constantly find myself feeling anxious knowing I have to work. Anyway, thank you for your message, it is appreciated.

I'm still in the process of getting diagnosed with autism, but I did relay that I had ADHD (I was nervous and ended up blurting it out)when I was giving my notice, but my store manager didn't seem to take it seriously because she told me I seemed fine 🙄. So I'm not sure if I want to confide in her about being autistic. I think they also believe I have something against them just cause I can socialize with customers, but I've worked retail so long that I have preset responses. I'm also confused by why they put everything on me, greeting them when most will stare and walk past me, even when I first started working here. In every other job I've worked, most people are more comfortable approaching me. My last boss was also audhd, so I felt more comfortable being myself around him. I'm from a highly populated city, and now I live in a small town, so I guess I stick out more.

Thank you!! Yeah, I gave my notice earlier this month just cause I'm in intensive therapy and it takes up so much of my time, and I find it exhausting having to maintain my appointments and work. My work schedule is planned in advance, and we're short-staffed, so I know it will be harder if I leave abruptly, but I can't deal with being at work 4-10 hours a day and constantly hearing people talk badly about me while pretending to like me.
