This summer, my mental health went down due to a personal crisis I won't get to here. It's a long story. I started screwing up, and my boss said I had no integrity. Our non profit organization wasn't making much money as it was a slow summer, so as punishment for “stealing time and lying,” she cuts my workdays down from 5 a week to just 1. This was July, and it's September now. I was also prevented from joining my coworkers at a convention shoot, which might have been a blessing in disguise because it would have ruined comic conventions for me. I like to go to those to meet celebrities and buy Transformers or something. That's it.
Now she's saying that I'm doing better and that she's proud of me. My mother believes my boss is being genuine, but my friends believe that she's stringing me along because she doesn't want me to leave.
My work is supposed to be helping autistic adults such as myself with work, as well as forma sense of belonging, but I feel it's not doing that for me. I still live at home because I lost my money in a scam right before this and had to change cards, as well as the other thing I mentioned in the beginning. My mental health is not great, and I don't know what to do. I'm paid very little and I need to get out and live on my own, but this put the brakes on that.
I have no idea what to do, other than to start applying for other jobs, which is what I have been doing.
