Life sucks?

Question

I can't deal with things...I'm about to lose my job...I have multiple disabilties... I have an out of control teenager who slugs me. What do I have to look forward to?

Thanks everybody for the support. My child and I have been going for counseling, but the appts are spread out. The CSW has a HUGE caseload. We are going to him, because he is excellent (when we can get in to see him!). It is also very difficult to find male CSW's here.
Regarding my multiple disabilities, I've contacted a state agency that deals with disabilities and vocational rehab. A counselor there will help me to decide the best route to take. It's frustrating, because these things take time, and there is a mountain of paperwork my doctors and I have to complete.
My job is horrible. I work with kids, and their parents expect me to move mountains. Several of the children are going through the court system.That tells you something about the parents.
I've been on meds for depression--they're not working very well! I've been trying to find a CSW who is trained in the disabilities that I have--very difficult.
I hope things will get better, but it's taking a lot of time.

Answer 1

Dealing with things, a new job you enjoy, better health, a teenager who respects you.

Seriously.

You only lose if you quit and you are not going to quit. Find friends, family, doctors who you can talk to and give you the help you need. If your son/daughter does not respect you do NOTHING for them. If it comes to it, have them arrested or sent away. True, you cannot control them but you can DEMAND respect. We (at Yahoo answers) are not in your shoes, we cannot relate to what you are going through, and we cannot solve all your problems. But one thing we are NOT going to do is let you quit!

Answer 2

This bothers me. Why is your teenager hitting you?? This is not good at all.

You sound like you could benefit from therapy. Do you think you are depressed?

Things may seem hopeless now but all can change with a blink of an eye.

ARe you getting any help with your disabilities? Sounds like you need some support.

please look into some therapy and some support groups. And find out what you can do for your child. Maybe some therapy for him or her also because this behavior is not acceptable (at least not to me)

Please read on depression okay? And also anger management and teens (maybe talk to the school counselor)

Remember that you matter and you were put here for a reason and a purpose. Wishing you all the best. :)

Answer 3

what do you have to look forward to? Death! But between now and then, you make the best of it. I didn't have much to live for a couple of years ago either. I lost everything I ever loved. Alone. Don't even get me started. You need to find something positive to do with your time, whatever that may be. Get busy living, or get busy dying!! Your choice.

Answer 4

Wow - you certainly do just lay it out there, huh?

Perhaps if someone you trust (hoping you do know someone like this?) were to look at each of your 'issues', and consider what YOU think might make each of them 'tolerable'? - the results could be a rapid lessening of your feelings of despair . . . which it seems you are manifesting as loudly as confusion and mega frustration with your situations. . .

I think you know that no one (but you) can understand your positioning as well as you do . . . others can only see what goes on from an outsiders' view. Asking for 'advice' can complicate your situation, as others may be quite judgmental and opinionated. Soooooooooo - - -

Here's some off the cuff stuff . . .
Life sucks . . . true - for you, just now.
Losing one's job sucks . . . true - for you, just now.
Having multiple disabilities sucks . . . true - for you, from now on.
Dealing with an out of control teen sucks . . . true - until it matures.
Having nothing but misery to look forward to sucks . . . until you choose/decide to:

ACCEPT fully where you are, just now.
RESOLVE to seek assistance for what overwhelms you, just now.
MAKE CHANGE your reality, just now.

Best wishes on this portion of your life journey, just now . . . all things in this physical reality ebb and flow, like the tides of the ocean, like the light and dark of the hours of our times. Yesterday may have been better than today - tomorrow may be the best yet.

Answer 5

without challenges, life would be no fun and you wouldn't have anything to look forward to. you'll appreciate things more when things get back to normal. but in order for that to happen, u have to keep getting back up and pushing. don't have a job, go looking or get back in school with financial aid, your teenager hits you, kick his *** out (he'll appreciate you alot more after having to take care of himself!) disablities, go to the doctor. don't let anything stop you! good luck.

Answer 6

You have pleanty to look forward to, the exciting new challenges at your new job, the day that teenager moves out, your appointment with your mental health professional that you should have made today.

Answer 7

The day your teenager realizes how much she really loves you and all you have done for her/him. ( and she/he will) then a son or daughter in law and after that wonderful grandchildren who you can spoil rotten and give out even more of your love! Enjoy life as much as you can. It will get better!

Answer 8

Mate sort it out! Nobody wants to work at Christmas, sod it, hand your notice in before they fire you, then you can get another job.

If your kid needs their **** kicking, I can arrange it, or get someone to do it. Throw them out and let them deal with life.
Look forward to things being better soon, as it cant get much worse my friend. Have you someone to talk to? as me and others will probably be worrying about you now, please let us know you'll be ok on additional comments Please. Keep your chin up mate x x x x x x much love and thoughts to you x x x x x
