How to stop crying?

Question

Please, How can I stop crying.
I am working in a contract job and I just missed out on extending my contract - it went to someone else and I feel so stupid because I didn't ask for an extension earlier because I was down with cough and now they hired someone else and I can't stop crying!
I hate and don't like myself for making stupid mistakes like this, and although my former boss told me not to worrry and he'll see what he can do, and although I have written a petition letter to God and I earnestly and sincerely feel that I still want to work there and help others , I can't shake off the feeling that I am careless and i dont like myself for that.
I m wasting precious time and I m mentally and emotionally exhausted.
I have been working contract jobs ever since graduation because I am unable to get any good permanant jobs so far. it seems so easy for others to get great jobs but so hard for me. I can't understand why and I really wish that my contract could be extended.
pls help

Answer 1

i think i know the feeling u feel like no body cares but people do how old are u btw? try researching Job Corps you may have to fight tooth and nail but they can get you a ride - im 30 miles away from one and they are CONSIDERING giving me a ride..im HIGHLY stressed and couldnt even tell the woman my life's story because of how stressed i am - breathing w/e oh hell i have tried it ..when the **** hits the fan u cant help but get emotional and if thats not okay well then life isnt okay cuz thats apart of life -

now over and onward try your best - try to realize that there is always something worse in the world and that things could be worse than they are...that keeps my chin up BUT the more positivity you recieve from asking the more u might realize things arent as bad as they seemed...try to ask for help if you can't GET it at your work place hit the streets see what ROUGH times are really like.

I'm not saying go outside hop in a cardboard box I'm saying do your research - homelessness etc. Ask yourself is that what you want? And if you have already thought of all of this maybe go see a counselor if you can. I'm sure you could try a temp agency =/? please keep trying dont give up you will get some where all the people who never gave up got some where!

Once you've given your feelings some room to breathe, look at something to make you laugh. It probably won't work at first, but if you keep watching things--Monty Python, a sitcom, a trashy reality show--your mind will work off her. Don't try to repress anything, just understand that you've given the even its fifteen minutes, come to terms with the fact she's gone, she's not coming back, but you had some good times nonetheless, then release the grief back into the world. You don't need to keep the pain. You can keep the happiness you had, no matter how brief, and let the negativity go.

Don't listen to Sufi. I actually fired her from her last job bc she's a bit psycho. Talk about a cryer! This woman would never go a day without whining, moaning, and crying about how unpopular she was in high school. I had to let her go, bc she kept annoying everyone.

in order to stop crying, use breathing. breathe in and out, concentrating completely on your breathing. i find that i can't cry and do this breathing at the same time. it really helps me stop crying.

but to stop your problem in the future, you need to get some honest feedback about why you aren't a desireable worker. people don't want to hurt your feelings so they don't tell you. you have to not get defensive. you have to find out the real information. what is it that makes you undesirable as a worker. unless you correct that you will probably not have any better luck in the future. you must get honest information from those who keep getting rid of you. why that happens.

Answer 5

You are not alone. I missed out on a dream job and feel like crying myself.

Learn from your mistake, and try to keep moving forward
