i'm such a cry baby and i've been crying all day b/c im such an anxious person and i feel bad enough already that i have to call tomorrow and pretty much tell them that i'm too stupid and mentally ill to work at a retail position. i've been applying to jobs all day but no ones gonna hire me b/c my degree is virtually useless and i can't handle any more school either or i will mentally implode. i just really wish i wouldve gone to school for art but ig i like to ruin everything for myself.
Awwww, roo. Don't say that about yourself. You're no cry baby. :( we all have our strong suits and something that's just not for you. It's better to stay away from something too stressful. Sure work itself can be stressful, but if it's a bit over the top. It's better to get out early while you can. You are not stupid either. Just explain to them your issue and they should understand. Retail is one stressful day to day sore that just keeps on picking at us all. School is another stress that I can totally understand. You can go for for something art! You honestly don't "need" a degree in it. If you're skilled enough (which we know your art is fantastic) then others will be able to see it as well. Believe me, you CAN succeed there. We can see that and I'm MORE than sure others will see your beautiful art as well.

Honestly your parents shouldn't stop talking to you. That's not right. They should be understanding when it comes to that and the reasonings behind it. Theft in stores are a lot worse than we all originally expect. Then the store safety policy on confronting them is even weirder. So I understand that. Yeah they shouldn't be putting more stress on you by leaving you that way. They should be more supportive to you. I know sometimes we all wish we could run away and leave everything behind, but I think that would make things worse in the end. Blame is tough to take when things are heated. Just give it time because some people can take things the wrong way and it'll only make things worse.

Roo, I'm more than sure you will find a job you will enjoy. If you want to pursue a job involving art. Go for it! I know you get achieve it! Your artwork is really unique and beautiful. Please don't lose hope and if you ever need someone to talk to. Feel free to message me. I'm always willing to help talk to my friends through hard times. We will all always be here for you.
