Not a great end to the year

I quit my new job after 3 months. It wasn’t a good fit for me, but I did try my best.

This was 2 weeks before Christmas. My sleep is all messed up and I’ve been drinking a lot. I decided not to fly in to visit my mom, brother, and aunt for the holidays because I was too depressed. Not doing anything for Christmas just made me more depressed.

Anyway, it’s been a tough few weeks.

Don’t feel alone. A lot of people consider this the worst and most depressing time of the year.

I’m sure you’re just in a rough patch right now, I’m sure it’ll get better for you. Good luck!

Sorry to hear this

If it helps, the first job I had after a long time off lasted a similar amount of time

After that I did not apply for many jobs

Just applied for ones I was sure I wanted to do

It took a while but I got the job I have now and been there two years and counting

Trying to show that yes the end of this job might be a setback right now, but hope there is a match for you in the future

Being highly selective has led to a good fit for me even though it costs more time to get the job

Wish you the best of luck

Every time sz knocks you down it does make you wary, but the more things you try the more likely that job will let its self be known to you

I’m so sorry you’re going through a rough time.

You may want to get a job doing something that you like to do instead of a job that you don’t like to do even if that job pays more. Your health is priceless.

Hope you get to feeling better soon. :cat:

@anon28938347 I’m sorry you’re feeling so down. Hopefully you start feeling better soon.

You should be proud of yourself for trying out the new job for 3 months. That’s a good length of time. Now you have some work experience that should help you figure out what type of job might be a better fit for you moving forward.

I also quit my job this past calendar year – I worked there 6 months. Longest I’ve held down a job since becoming ill.

I’m gonna try to volunteer first, before I think about working again. Whenever I get a job, the same ending happens and I feel terrible about it. Volunteering is much easy to walk away from. Hope you feel better.
