Hi guys. I don't have anyone else to talk to about this so that is why I'm posting here.
I currently work full time and study part time, so between both of these I have a solid 50-54 hour week plus homework, and because I work retail some nights I only get 3 - 4 hours sleep. I put myself in this situation and it is what I want to do, but my problem is that I have a lot of trouble at home (black sheep of the family and my dad has pretty much segregated me from the rest of the family and they all follow him unquestioningly), and I have recently had a couple of big bad arguments with my mum, who for a while I was actually getting on so good with.
I'm just tired all of the time, trying to keep on top of things at school and we are overloaded at work because our employer always leaves the team hours down so we are constantly worker harder than we really should because they don't want to pay the proper amount of staff to work.
So tonight I was just really struggling mentally before work finished and I don't usually get like this. I'm usually pretty mentally resilient but lately I've just struggled. Flat out at work, working hard at school, isolated and fighting with family when all I am asking for is support and to not be harrased by my old man. I mean he gives me the dirtiest looks, always tells me to 'get out', 'I've got more respect for the dog than you', 'gay guy', rah rah rah, same old story. And a coworker at work that has caused some trouble lately and doesn't like me at all because I stopped talking to him because of his negativity. My boss knows about our history but hasn't stepped up to the guy.
Anyways yeah I'm just asking for some advice and some encouragement please because I only get negativity from my family and I don't have anyone else to listen. My brain feels lethargic and I don't want to take time off, I just want some encouragement from someone please, just a little bit. And advice on how to deal with stress when you are juggling bills, study, work, family problems, etc. Thanks guys.
