This happens more often then you would think.\n\nHonestly determine what led to your firing.\nThen, decide what you want to do and start looking.\n\nIt may take time, but you will find a new job.\n\nEverything happens for a reason and you will be okay.

I would consider going back to your old job.  I worked in the same exact kind of environment you have at your new job and it was HORRIBLE!!  I literally was taking antidepressants and saw my doctor on a regular basis.  I finally decided to take a "buy out" from the company.  After about a month I started to feel alot better.  I was able to stop taking the meds and I now only go to my doctor once a year or if I am sick with the flu.  I am now making 2/3 of what I use to make but I am a whole lot happier!   I hope this helps!

Yeah, why not....I mean being around an @sshole today is the last thing you need especially if you're not in a good mood.....and then when he fires you, you'll have a reason to get another job which you've been wondering about lately....

Is there anything you can do to change the job frustration? Talking to a district office or a boss higher up? Changing job duties? Is there anything funny about how sorry the place is? Does the place do anything good that can make you feel better that your frustration is going for something useful? \nI read a book called "100 Things That People Do To Be Happy". It suggests that making yourself happy takes a lot of practice, like playing basketball. Maybe you can think of that while you are working and look for things that put a smile on your face when you don't feel like smiling. Do you have a library nearby? Try and find a book on drawing caricatures and make up funny pictures of the things or people you work with.\nMake sure you get as much sleep as you can (try earplugs and nightshades (blinders) if you are sleeping during the day, and as early at night as you can (probably hard if you work late). Sometimes your emotional state is worse if you aren't getting enough vitamins also.\nI'm sure others will have more suggestions for meditating, etc. I prefer to attack my frustrations whenever I can.

No job is worth you feeling like crap and rattled every minute of the day.  Believe me, I worked in a group home for a year and a half and finally quit whe I was starting to get anxiety attacks from it!  Some jobs are just not for everyone.  See about a transfer to a different branch maybe?  Even a small paycut is worth being able to go to work without dread everyday.

I have the same problem when I am way to tired of the stress and I need what we all women love to have a PERSONAL DAY. Yes that is right a job cant fire you cause of this its one of those things we get to have 2 times a year and I used mine. If your sick and need a day off then take it don't feel like you shouldn't at all being sick is being HUMAN. If family needs you then its a family emergency and that is what all people Will have some point in life. There is so many ways to have a sick day that cant be put on paper from a doctor. Your not a child going to school you are a person who needs a day off to lock yourself in your place and not answer the phone or door. If your not a person who calls in sick all the time then just tell your boss you need to take a personal day and you will be at work tomorrow and your boss will give you the guilt trip like they all do but tell him/her that this need to take this personal day. You cant get fired over this.

It sounds like to me that you have been taken for a ride. I would got to the labor board and file a complaint. You got fired, so what is she going to do about it and what do you care. You can cause her some trouble and you may get some back pay out of it. (unemployment)

you sound depressed which is a natural reaction to unemployment. Best to see your doctor and visit the job centre who may be helpful in finding you work related courses. Keep the faith, there is always a future

Well, you have already nailed it pretty well, and under the circumstances you are doing a whale of a lot better managing this that I ever would! You're further ahead of the game than you realize. You are also tired and need a breather. You need to schedule some down time for just you. You are the one that is important here. And self care is job one. Always. You have been ambushed, so when that happens you always step back and regroup. And the best way to self care your way through this one is to be by or hang around yourself a little more. Find your center once again. Centering. A wonderful concept. And correct, too, on every level. Diet, bubble baths, rest, fresh air, cleaning your bedroom, checking your wardrobe and getting free of old stuff you will never wear again - in other words, spend a little time reinventing yourself. You are already pretty strong because you have a good mind with which to sort out all this foolishness and get your bearings, but the unfortunate truth in life is that when we are tired, anyone can take a whack at us and it is like they could blow us over with a feather. You can feel that sensitive, and it is because you are smart, really. It is the downside of being smart. You can be too sensitive. So when you find your center once again you will also find more strength to call this what it is: abuse. Others here on Yahoo! Answers are giving you some fine answers about actions you can take, but I am focusing solely on you taking care of you. Self care. Make more time to pamper yourself and start feeling good about who you really are, because look at what you are doing here: you are  working on your degree. I mean, my God, all this other chaff is just fuel. Be very alert and see it for what it is - a prime distraction and begin - just begin, to look for a better place to bring yourself for work. That does not, fortunately, need to be put in place before the end of the week. If worse comes to worse, you can just walk away. A social worker once told me, "Chris, sometimes all you can do is walk away." I never forgot that one. Under most circumstances, I get the impression you are normally extremely self-reliant and independent of mind, so it is probably just because this whole mess has worn you down a bit that feeling it is a lilttle rough on you right now. I am sending you good energies and my heart goes out to you hoping you find the perspective to see the bigger picture and put you back into it in the dignified and self-respecting way you rightly deserve. Get your self-esteem back intact and believe in who you really are. And for God's sake, get some rest. None of us thinks well when we are exhausted. The other thing is emotionally draining, and only time will heal that one.  God Bless You, too.     - Chris.

We're all placed in stressful situations sometimes that are difficult to cope with. My best advice to you is to look at the positive side of things. The fact that you have a job and an income is a good thing. The fact that you are using a computer to access the Internet is a great privilege (believe me it's a privilege). The fact that you were raised in this great nation is an opportunity. You sound young and you entire life is ahead of you. This is only a chapter in your life. A chapter is bound to end when another begins. Have patience and faith in yourself and in your ability to change your perception of your situation. Thank God for the moments that you have. Remember, this is life, not a dress rehearsal. Make everyday count. And finally, I have personally found that I feel a lot better when I stop focusing on my own problems and try to offer help to someone else. We get so focused on self sometimes that we forget that there are people out there who are in a much worst situation than us. Try to lend a helping hand to someone, and you will see how blessed you will become.

We are in the same boat. I lost my job the other day for being "too quiet." They said that I worked hard and didn't do anything wrong but they wanted someone more out going.How stupid is that? All you can do is pick youself up and try again.Good Luck! Oh and in the mean time try to enjoy your day off. God will supply all of your needs according to His riches in glory.

what do you do as a job? i found that i had to change my attitude in a lot of different areas of my life. i don't know exactly what i'd suggest for you since i'm not sure what type of work you do. are you religious at all? that is something i got away from and i found myself sinking deeper and deeper into anger and despair. have you talked to your doctor about it? i have had to stay on an antidepressant. my family has a history of depression. sometimes we just have chemicals in our brains that are out of whack. it is hard to deal with life if your brain isn't working properly. i have made myself always look on the bright side. i dont' know you, but as a starter, you can be happy that you have a roof over your head and at least some type of employment. i honestly know how you feel. please don't consider killing yourself. i don't know how many times i made passive/aggressive attempts to harm myself. i was wreckless and i did not care at all. it's an awful feeling. i really suggest you talk to a doctor. psychological sickness is the same as physical sickness. some people do not understand that. there are methods to heal yourself. please talk to someone. i'll say a prayer for you.

Congrats!! That is great.\n\nHmm... some suggestions: \n- Arrive early\n- Bring anything they asked for (sometimes they ask for a void check, if they haven't don't worry, I just know they asked me), \n- Give yourself lots of time in the morning to get ready so you won't feel rushed before your shift so therefore you won't feel as stressed.\n- Don't be afraid to ask any questions, or ask for help at any time. Remember everyone that is working there now was once new too so they understand.\n\nAndddd... since it sounds like you are going to be pretty busy make sure you wear comfortable shoes, seriously. You'll thank me later. :)\n\nCongrats again, and don't worry you'll be fine!! :)

Sounds like a retail or restaurant job. Used to happen to me. The best thing to do is be honest with them. "I'm greatful for all of the hours you've given me, but Unfortunately I don't feel it's what's best for me at the moment." Elaborate if you need to, but tell them how you feel. You're a person, not a robot. And if it's the kind of company that will fire you for being open and honest with them, then perphaps it would be best to seperate from them in any case. There'll always be another job, but i don't believe it will get to that. I'm positive they'll understand. Good luck.
