Running away

I'm 19, dferred entry at uni, depressed, got a job but it's 20 miles away, it takes me ages to get there (either way too late or way too early), have to get up 4 hours before I actually getv there, I'm so tired, I have to week at the weekends but I haven't got the tranpsort to get there so how can i do the job? the people I work with, first ipressions, didn't make me feel weclome but some are nice.

My mood now is really low and just feel useless because what's the point in going when I can't work at the weekend? I need the money and the job requires me to work weekends. My parnets wont help me. I'm probably going way over the top but we've all had sad moments where we're excessively tired. so i've come to the deicion of pakcing a few things and going back uni see a few friends. i'm not going to tell anyone. ijust need to get away. im 19 man and im crying like a baby in such situaitons.

what the **** is going on eh. im pathetic/. feeling suicidal. but i feel such a **** that i cant take a bit of work. but the thing is, i was so looking forward to this job becaus ei really do like working. i mean, during the team bulding exercises i wa smy self, loud, eneergetic and the people organising it bliked me and we had loads of fun. but when i went to the place where i were to work... thigs went down from there.

Thanks for readiong. i dont give a crap what my parnets think because lal they have done is shout at me and told me 'well i told you it was far' but you know what the job market is like... there is nothing or everything if you have experience though!
so i thought id give it my biggest shot. did well at the interview, loved the group work 9extra assessment i think) then we actually went to the place of work and i hated it and felt uncomfortable.

ahhh

go on everyone tell me im a baby needs ot grow up... it will motivate me

woah there slappy, put the pocket knife away, your not slitting any major blood vessels, cause it'll make a damn mess, first off, your going uni in a year, if your a guy that means plenty of drinking, socialising and sex, if your a girl it ... well it means the same basically, think about its less than 300 days till you piss off to uni, just stick to it and get on with it, this experience will humble you and give you a better look at the world, just keep your morale high and get on with the job, the year will soon pass us by

Chill out a bit our kid. You're off to university eventually where you can go into halls of residence of some sort. Works rarely nice and you can feel a bit lost if you dont go straight from school into university, I went in 3 years later then everyone else after deciding I wanted to go and before that I was a bit lost on what I wanted or needed to do.

Stick with it, time flies in.

theres nothing wrong with a job 20 miles away, what I fail to understand is why it takes 4 hours to get there, are you walking or something?

Reply 8

that would be a long walk!
I work 16 miles away! get there in 40 mins!

Does anyone at your work place live in the same town/village as you? If so, and they drive, try arranging a lift on a regular basis! I bet sharing petrol costs will be cheaper and quicker for you than commuting by public transport.

In the worst case scenario you can probably get a moped or a bicycle :wink: (or a car if you have a full licence)

I am in a gap year and working and although I might be depressed at times because not everything is well in the life (problems at home and with mates etc.), I try not to think about it at work at all - and this seems to help!

Good luck!
