I’ve had some family issues today and decided I’m not going back there again. I’ve been struggling all week and trying for so long, applying for jobs through Indeed and other sites, but my efforts keep being ignored. I’ve had people going at me for a while, but today it got extremely intense as they kept saying they would help me, but when I said I could do it myself, they doubted me and basically said I’d be jobless all my life, which has always been my biggest fear in all of this, and being told that has given me horrible thoughts.
From the moment I got there, I felt like I was being slated constantly, and there was back and forth where they wouldn’t let me do things myself and kept saying I would fail, so eventually I just had enough and left, ignoring them telling me to stay. On the way back in the car, I was shaking from everything that had happened. I’ve just been healing, and it feels like a regular thing where I start to emotionally recover from something tough, then get hit with more hurtful comments. It takes a lot to upset me like that, but I’ve been struggling for a while, feeling low and unheard. After today, I just thought I’m not putting up with it anymore, I’m tired of being criticised when I’m genuinely trying.

It can be so challenging to get comments like that from anyone - especially your family who should be there to motivate you and lift you up when you're feeling down. It is good to see you feeling confident enought to set boundaries and know when someone isn't worth the energy or negative vibes they send your way. Protecting your mental health is so so important and to see you making active steps to do so is something you should be so proud of.
All of here continue to be so proud of you as a person - and your motivation and determination to achieve your goals is something you should be proud of too. It's clear as day how much effort you give and how much you are trying - so don't let the opinions of others dampen that drive to succeed. We are all here for you to lift you up and cheer you on when you need us to.
Thank you @sinead276 got me a bit emotional with this a but again. I saw you online earlier and was hoping you'll reply to me. You're so sweet thank you so much.
