So trigger warning for depression and passive suicidal thoughts. So I (26) and just done. I’m so tired all the time and I hate working so much. It’s such a drain. It’s not even that I dislike what I do or where I work it’s just that I go in do what I need to do for 8 hours and then leave. It leaves me exhausted at the end of the day which means everything else doesn’t get done. And right now I only work 2 8hour days (16 hours) because I’m in school. I am dreading working full time.

I left a job at Speedway recently for good reasons. My last paycheck just got my account but was for only $24. It's missing 2-3 days worth of money. What are my options besides raising hell in person? I really needed that money and I'll likely go hungry the next week without it.
