~~~~~ I am glad you are sharing. Believe it or not, I was the exact image of what you wrote. The only difference is I didn't have any way to see a doctor for meds due to no medical coverage at that time and if I had quit my job, my mother would have kicked my a** all the way back to the office building. I suffered for years in my head over every little thing as if people around me could hear my thoughts, yet I was constantly told how good of a worker I was. And when I was "let go" by my supervisor by what she called "Voluntary Termination" meaning I could return to the workplace in the future, I was scared nearly to death because I had never been without a job or studying some form or education since I was 11 years old. However, I still had responsibilities because the courts had designated me as assistant to my mother as she was made to adopt her grandchildren a few months later. Unfortunately, I beat myself up nearly everyday due to what had happened. Then I was given the position of legal guardian and DHS Chore Worker for Trene and that helped get me out of my head somewhat. But it wasn't until I started posting on DGN that I started spilling my guts about my life's story and realized that there were people who had never met me, but actually cared about what I had to say. Some were in the same boat, others were the voice of reason. It made me feel like I finally found a place where I belonged. No one judged me for having a thought that I decided to express. It is liberating for me being on this forum. That's why I tell you to post without fear of ridicule. You have the right to be heard. If someone doesn't like that, they have the right to not read what you wrote...simple as that. ...and don't delete your stuff...
