I don’t think I can work due to my mental issues

So for past reference I've actually worked before, about 4 jobs. But, while I've done that, I was never at any of them for very long. I think the longest I've been at a job was about 2 months. After my experiences, I truly never wanted to work again. So I settled down, and just laid back. Thing is though lately I actually do want to work. I'm afraid of it true, but I finally want to have a life. I suffer from a couple different disorders and conditions. I'm diagnosed with BPD, mild autism, anxiety, and depression. I'm just a mess. Like, this past week for a few days I was doing so well. And now suddenly the last few days I've been pretty down, every day seems so hard lately. It's honestly been the worst than it has in a long time. And that's just from staying home…

What I find troubling is even if you’re good at your job it can get taken away from you at any time

Not only do you have to worry about being a “good worker” there's no guarantee that you can even retain that job! The past few companies I have worked for have had layoffs and I was considered a “good worker”. It's deflating when you do actually give a shit , have decent hours and have decent pay that you can still lose it due to a layoff. All it takes is for another company to swoop in and take it over or for your company to fail it's quota a few times before it decides to layoff their employees.

Waffle House gets it right.

10% service charge for to-go to make sure the staff gets paid and an additional 10% to cover the supplies since everything is so cheap already. I find this the best way to make sure take-out pays their fair share.

Notice Period Survival – please help me try not to go insane!

How do you mentally survive your longass notice period? All I want to do is up and leave this place! but 4 week NP (just about 1 week in right now) has me going crazy already. Not going to get walked out, that would have happened already 🙁 Background: Been working for this engineering company for the last (almost) 9 years, workplace agreement requires 4 weeks notice. I've been in talks for the last 2 months about a potential new job opportunity in the Events Industry – and I finally took it! I don't start until July though – with my 4 week notice period before I leave I feel like I'm just already doing the barest of bare minimum and going insane watching the clock already…and I'm only on day 4 of 20! I've written the training documents, organized the handover training to my successor…my heart just isn't in…

Mainstream media has been warning us for decades if not centuries if not Mellenia. History repeats itself, this is not a joke, or hyperbole.

How many different examples could I give of artist throwing in in our face how corrupt and fucked up things truly are. Its a bread crumb trail so to speak.
