Haha, not a problem :p

How is USA with the laws on feeding the homeless and similar, I heard that it was even forbidden, which I find silly...

here it's encouraged by the country (moves weight off community goverment funded kitchens and similar)

Saelben,
assisting the homeless is encouraged here in America and there are many foundations and individuals who actively are involved with feeding those in need. But I also see a lot of fear directed towards them..
I would like to become involved in such ways, i was in this position (homeless) most of 2015. I will need car, so in the future possibly.

Woke up this morning to rolling panic and anxiety. First thought was of working on Saturday, I am being picked up, so no way to escape..just crazy thinking...talked myself back to reality.
The thing about this recent trauma, for me, is that I am still feeling exposed and vulnerable and scared in any work environment. I have walked away from so many opportunities because work is a place for me with a dual threat, the loss of personal well-being and the threat of being without income to support myself.
Trying to keep it together.
Still no appointment for doctor.

Glad it went well :) I hope that helps strenghten optimism and negation of the bad thoughts in you :hug: Good events often do that

I have no doubt you can find better working conditions, and I agree that being honest with future employers about that incident will probably be in your best interest if you do live in a small town (I grew up in and currently live in a small town; I know how it is). Poor management never fails to shock me, especially in the food and hospitality industry.

Luckily, multi-skilled workers in that field are always needed. You're much better off without those assholes IMHO. :hug:

Really having a difficult time with putting myself out there to job hunt, going to make some phone calls, safe start..
Pushing through the fear and anxiety trying to save myself :hug:

Don't forget to do self compassion, it's gonna help. You are a great cook!

 

[Chimera]

Just want to scream into my pillow!
Why won't I stop judging myself and try the self compassion you mention....I just don't feel it..crap. this is so yucky, that I really feel this way about myself...I know better but that's not how I "feel" about myself, I really cannot muster any compassion for myself right now.

I understand what you mean. I didn't shower for over a week because I couldn't handle looking at my own body, because of how shit I feel about myself

But the important realization is those are feelings. Feelings arent facts.

Ok, I'll make the calls, no more pity party for the moment.
Thank you saelben, you're a dear person
