What a shit day I've had

I've had to endure a busy day at work spending most of the shift cleaning all the screens by myself with little help.

Now I've have to cancel going out next week because none of my workmates want to help cover my shift.

Times like this just make me want to put my head through a brick wall until I drop dead

Changing jobs might be an easier option? It sucks being a grown up sometimes eh?

The only option I have is to book my days off in advance so I don't get screwed over like I have last month

Also if I was to change jobs to a job that had more hours and less free time, I would have no choice but to pack in my social life, leave fab and be at the job until I kill myself from the depression of having no life outside work

Really? You can't go out one night so you want to die?

I know it's probably just frustration but, really?!

We all have really busy days and we all have to change plans sometimes. That's what grown ups do.

Is there more behind this feeling than just a busy day at work and cancelled plans?

Sorry. Its just due to my Aspergers, I get upset sometimes when things get screwed up. I always seem to go through a feeling of anger and then depression for rest of the day.

Blimey ... I wonder how the rest of us working people cope? Thank god I only have a full time job, 2 kids with after work activities and a house to run or I’d never see my friends.

If you’re really unhappy in your job, look for something else. If you don’t want to change jobs, there’s no point in complaining about it.

Sorry to sound harsh but I’ve been at work all day and I’m tired.

Perhaps you should speak to your GP about how you feel. But I would seriously recommend a change of job if you’re really feeling let down by your colleagues and overworked, sometimes we outgrow things. X

Mental health services have (supposedly) improved over recent years, it would be worth going back, maybe speaking to a different doctor would help. X

I'm sure it would. For the time being, all I could do when I'm like this is sleep it off. It usually works but after so many weeks, it happens again going through anger and then depression

“That’s life” advice from your doctor is absolutely terrible.

Life can be just life for most people, but the fewer that have mental illness or trouble coping, it’s a living nightmare.

As already posted, change doctors and get advice, learn coping strategies and possibly medication to help you whilst you learn to control your emotions.

Not so easy for someone with a disorder like Aspergers, bitching is the least of there worries.

The only person who can change your life for the better is you. See another doctor. Look for self help groups in your area. Listen to the advice people here have given you. If you want a specific day off then ask in advance, you cant really blame your co workers for not wanting to change shifts.

You have posted threads like this before but if you really want change then do something about it.

Good luck

Are there any asperger charities that can out you in touch with professionals who can teach you coping techniques and how to rationalise things better? To feel like you want to die because you had a busy day is pretty extreme to say the least.

You say you work in a cinema but getting another job would mean working more hours and having less of a social life but I can't imagine how that would be true.

Any job involving Joe public is going to include people thinking they are better than you because they are the customer. If you don't like that then find a job that isn't customer facing. There are loads of them about that are probably better paid than a cinema.

After waking up with a clearer head, I'm taking back the things I've said in the posts about dying as I regret saying these things and nothing is worth killing myself over.

As for my job, it's sort of a love/hate thing where on some days I enjoy it and on some days, I hate it especially on busy days when we're low on staff.

Good on you for reflecting on it and adjusting your attitude. No job is perfect and staffing levels will always be an issue as bosses balance the books.

If there’s something important you’d like to do can you pre-book annual leave instead of relying on colleagues to swap shifts...?
