I don't know what to do

I don't know what to do

December last year 2024 I just got fired and I am really upset by this due to this being the beginning my first year in that field. I was so excited to start and i've never gotten any other good news like this before and it hit really hard to get this news of being fired. I tried really hard to do everything right but I some how was not focused and I threw something in the bin that was supposed to be processed. I don't even remember doing this and now I am paying the prices by my stupidity I don't have a job for 2 plus months now and that job was everything to me. I finally got a job I was proud of doing. and now it's gone. I have applied at other jobs but cant seem to get anywhere right now as all the other places are expecting me to at least have a certificate 4 but I am only doing the certificate 4 now. and won't finish until the end of this year 2025. my mind is constantly hurting me and just can't seem to stop putting my issues on other people i get angry really fast and once someone upsets me I just start crying and walk away from them cause I don't want them to deal with me. so please help me what can I do to stop my mind from overthinking things. I have tried psychologist but they just seem to shrug my issues off like I am just there for attention and more work. like I have a decent life so I just don't know why I feel like this all the time. During 2023 I also felt like this over my family they are constantly fighting and they never stop. so I told them if they don't stop then I will leave and not come back. December 2024 new years eve my brother started fighting again after a decent year of finally being together with minimum arguments, my older brother gave my little brother a black eye. then also knowing I don't have a job my older brother stole from me that wasn't the first time but the first time since I started trusting him again. so now after trying to trust my older brother through 2023 and through 2024 I have now given up on him and I had to block him so now I feel like its done and I can't trust him again. 2025 is clearly not my year. but at the same time 2024 was the only good year I have had. and now it just seems like nothing will ever get better as I blew my only job I was proud of and I have given up on my own family. my younger brother constantly thinks we stare at him and is always calling mum and myself a B**ch and all other types of words but I have heard this all my life it only really annoys me when someone else out of my family tell me this cause then I just start believing it. my girlfriend just call me a coward after getting upset by a math question in my certificate 4. but I have math issues all throughout school and it just makes it 10 times harder for me to work when I already know I am not good at math I have tried really hard but these are alway my set backs. but I need to do this for the job. so I just can't quit. but I just need someone to tell me how to go about this year. cause I feel like this year is not going to get any better. I am sorry for all the writing but I just really need some help. I also love my girlfriend a lot so I believe she was trying to say something nicer but that just came out the way it did. I know she didn't mean it to the extent I overreacted. she's one of the best things in my life. She also wants me to get help in trying to find solutions in dealing with my emotions which is why I am here now.

Re: I don't know what to do

I managed to secure the job. And she mentioned my application and interview was perfect. So I am happy with the feedback and the role. She also said there is space to grow which is really good to hear as it’s good experience for me. Thanks @Vyv stay open minded about your jobs. Hope your job hunt is going well.

How are you going so far?

Re: I don't know what to do

@whatcanido no interviews yet. One job just closed last week, one closes Monday and another the end of the week. I hope I get at least one interview out of those but will keep applying for anything I see that looks a good fit. Trying not to worry about money but it's tough.

Re: I don't know what to do

Keep going with it all. If you don’t mind that much on what you do. My brother told me if you put casual no experience in to seek. It will generate a good amount of jobs listings. Plus for casuals like it’s in my opinion better due to me not travelling all that much so I have a lot of time I can work. And depending on the job. You can get shift loading rather then working full time or part time for a little amount per week. Up to you but that’s my experience so far. I just got a part time position but they are paying a lot less then what I had as a casual. I guess that’s a thought for you at least. But make a decision best suited to your needs etc. as a causal last year I was still working 38 hours a week.
