Hey Comrades,

With the current state of the world and general increase in negative feelings and emotions as a result of the current state of affairs, I wanted to start a community weekly vent post.

This will be for anything you need to talk about related to your mental health that is bothering you. If you feel overwhelmed, angry, scared, depressed, anxious, anything, write what you’re feeling and why below. Let’s use this as a place to help each other get through this awful shite.

    I just got my new state license and I failed the vision test. 20/70 in one eye and 20/200 in the other. This means I have a restriction that I can only drive during daylight hours.

    I have a night shift job. This may ruin me. If I get pulled over… I’m having trouble holding myself together, not wondering what’s the point after that. My only plan right now is to go to the optometrist and try to get a stronger prescription and call the dmv and maybe see if I can get it removed. I just don’t know. I’m too disabled to work almost any daytime job. I just don’t know.

      Is there job counseling where you live? Over here the state offers you job counseling if you want to switch jobs or if you find yourself unable to do your current job. They usually work pretty good. I hope that’s possible for you.

        i appreciate the advice. i did vocational rehab which is a similar thing in high school after a stint in a mental institution but that ended up floundering for one reason or another. can’t find anything of the sort in my area other than temp agencies. found a couple of websites that claim to be job-finders specifically for people w/ disabilities, and like 90% of the results in my area, out of hundreds (i am not kidding) are walmart stockers and shit akin to it. in what world is manual labor in a walmart accessible to nearly anyone who’d be using this website lol
