Can't ever hold down a job (need advice)

It's a long post so I appreciate whoever reads it.

I've had many jobs, no matter what I do, within 2-3 months, I get let go or I crash out. It's embarrassing every time I think about it. Now that I've looked into it, I'm pretty sure it's ADHD/autism from what others have told and from the symptoms ,not diagnosed yet but idk if it'll make a difference.

Whenever I start a new job, it takes forever to learn and remember what to do, it's those first weeks when the manager is understanding that you're still new and doesn't expect you to know everything. But when you pass your probation and you're still asking about basic instructions and where things are and forgetting stuff, they start to get sick of you. I remember things like when I worked in greggs and someone would tell me their coffee order and by the time I grab the cup and start, I need to ask them again what it was, they'd just look at you like you're stupid.

It's like when people get to know me and realise I'm weak or something, maybe it's the autism and mannerism or just how I naturally conduct myself, they just put more pressure on me and just start getting on to me when I make mistakes, I come off way too awkward and weak.

I don't wanna be on universal credit again, that shit is depressing and they always give me the lowest amount and being a NEET at my age makes me borderline suicidal. It's like my brain isn't meant for society, for this life. It's like being an adult is max difficulty, I'm still somehow in my current job even though I got a warning for not keeping up. But rn I'm trying to save up for a car to maybe do delivery but hopefully I can stay long enough to save up.

Maybe it's also arrested development, abusive parents really messed up my development, secondary school kinda protected me from it, I was forced to socialise, was into sports, had friends, but after secondary it all went shit. No idea ngl. Might just end it, cause I'm scared to end up like this forever, feel like the biggest bum man, can't take this shit anymore

Anyone else here slowly giving up?

It's getting harder and harder, the self motivation stuff just isn't going to work anymore. The more time passes it's like it's harder to lie to myself. Suicidal thoughts is something I just can't avoid anymore.

I hate posting about things like this, because realistically nobody can really change it and people have their own lives to focus on so I don't expect people to come out of nowhere and help but it helps to understand if others are feeling the same way.

I just don't think I'm built for life. I don't think I was supposed to be born. Part me of me just wishes suicide didn't scare me so I can do it quickly and it hurts more when you realise the "don't kill yourself" help videos don't help anymore.

I can't ever hold a job down (need help)

No matter what after a few months I always get "the talk" from a manger or HR. Whenever I start a new job I'm always slow, can't ever keep up, I make too many mistakes, always in my head, i was saving up to get a car and be self employed so it's better but now I don't think I'm gonna be able to stay along to save up enough. I don't want to be a NEET again, it's the worst thing ever, I've heard from others that it could be ADHD, possibly autism, whatever the case may be, it's exhausting to keep going on like this, especially with finding jobs are harder now. I continuously struggle with memory, basic things are hard for me, those sort of mistakes compound up very quickly,

Body suddenly feels heavy?

Was half asleep laying down and could feel my body becoming very heavy.

I've had this before but only for my leg/shin area, but it seems to have spread to whole upper body as well, does anyone know what this means?

I don't know how to be authentic

It's like I've got a protective layer covering my true self, I feel like a robot, always reacting and saying the minimum amount of things and doing the same thing all the time, I have no idea whether I have a personality or not, just utterly confused about who I am and how to act. It's like I'm always putting up a performance.

Has anyone had their face slim down?

I feel like even though I'm skinny, I hold fat in my stomach and face, no matter what I do in the gym it doesn't go away, I'm not sure if it's face fat or something else, but it's those two areas in which they never go away. It's like my face has a layer of bloat that never goes away no matter what and my stomach always has this layer that never goes away, hopefully some of you guys could give some advice.

I'm yet to start TRT, but will be doing so this month.

Don't overdose on the blackpill.

It's a weird title but I think it addresses the problem head on and most people here know about the blackpill. I.e Your height, face, race, hair, etc stuff matters a lot in life and dating. Even if people don't want to admit it. A lot of people consume too much blackpill content and are essentially overdosing on the blackpill, through YouTube, Instagram, lookmaxing forums. I was one of them. It's extremely negative and turns you into a doomer if you're not what they consider "chad"

​

​

If you're young and you're mewing, whether you want to admit it or not, you're doing most of it for girls, and obviously being good looking also has it's perks in the workplace and stuff. But a lot of guys who research into mewing will eventually go down the blackpill road and just turns you weird. You guys need to avoid that. It will make your life more bleak. Constantly obsessing over little details. Doing those autistic squints, just don't.

​

​

Just my 2 cents for the younger people here, I think everyone should mew but try your best to avoid the blackpill content, it essentially tells you that it's all genetics and you can't change it. So if that's the case, then there's no point watching then? Because how will consuming blackpill content suddenly change your genetics? There's no upside to being blackpilled.

How do I lower my Test levels?

I have a blood test in a few days and it's going to decide if I get TRT treatment because this country is fucking retarded and you need to be a certain level to get TRT.

​

​

Please don't come commenting your righteous bullshit telling me why I shouldn't do it, I know the risks. All I need is advice on what's the best way to make sure that those levels appear low as possible. What should I do days before and even on the day of the test.

Being refused TRT, don't know what to do

Got my results, they're not very low but I still feel awful, everything links back to my Testosterone and free Test. I've tried everything but the symptoms don't go away. Making my life much harder. I'm based in the UK, and I'm wondering if anyone is able to give any advice in what I can do to try to get treatment.

Suddenly feel extremely hopeless

Was trying to sleep yesterday and was struggling a lot. Suddenly I felt hotter than usual and I have no idea why, I wasn't sweating but could feel like the body was warmer. I felt way more anxious as now waking up today I feel awful, extremely depressed, hopeless about continuing on. No clue what's the reason? I also feel like I'm breathing very forced, through my nose.

Starting to think chin tucks might not be for everyone

What I mean by this is, if you are doing a chin tuck or happen to constantly be in a chin tuck position, it might not be the best for you, depending on your case, if you have a very narrow palate or recessed jaw/skull, doing extreme chin tucks to maximise pressure will probably end up doing more harm than good, since your skull and jaw aren't even in the right position for chin tucks to maybe even help. Mike mews advice is for the average person who has acceptable amounts of recession and maybe the palate is not as narrow, So if you've been a mouth breather for a long time, you'll have to take a longer and safer approach because chin tucking all the time can have negative consequences.

They also might lead to you biting down too hard on your teeth or just causing excess pressure on your neck and nerves. As well as if you have a narrow palate, yes on paper it might seem like chin tucks will help Squeeze the tongue up there and it could and probably will help but then most people will over do it and make it worse long term, I've even seen people end up with a longer face because of it, you'll probably just have to get an expander so your tongue can actually be in a position to start working or hard mew and chin tuck but be very careful to not over do it.

I essentially started off hard mewing and chin tucking hard which helped in the beginning in forcing the tongue to automatically stay up there, which lead to me splitting my structure, however I've realised when I toned down the pressure and went to soft mewing, I've actually made more progress

Is anyone one else here basically a functional doomer?

The title basically speaks for itself, you basically have mostly given up on life but still do things like gym, work, trying to improve. It's a weird mindset to have, which i obviously have unfortunately. I'm going to continue moving forward but at the same time have little to no hope for the future.

Always yawning when I start to workout

I started recently going back to the gym,my diet, sleep everything is on point but when I start working out, I just start yawning, it's not like a tired sort of yawn, I still can workout very hard in the gym with no problem, but as soon as I start lifting, minutes in I start yawning. Is it something else or could it be parasympathetic activation or just something else?

Heat sensation from legs and parts of body?

Was laying down trying to sleep, all of a sudden legs feel like they're heating up, almost a burning sensation but not anything uncomfortable just felt hot. Then I felt some in my upper body area but not as much as my legs. is there a reason for this? Or is it unrelated?

Getting a delivery job but only recently got my licence.

Hello, so I've been applying for delivery jobs recently, I did get my licence some months ago, even though it's an automatic one only, I thought I'd try to apply, but I basically have no experience driving or anything similar. So I'm not the most confident since i haven't bought a car to keep driving so it's basically new to me again, all I did was pass my test but haven't used it yet and can't afford a car.

Will this be an issue when applying for jobs? Will they be happy to take me?

Don't want to be around my family anymore, not sure if it's right choice.

I'm 24 going on 25 and my life is in a mess, I'm just starting to actually work on it for once, going to the gym, But my family is awful, filled with trauma, dysfunctional, going nowhere in life, I don't want to be a part of that anymore. I kept following their advice and actions and it got me into a suicidal pit. They do have good hearts, my mother is a caring person etc, they aren't "terrible" people but when it comes to being normal they can't be, always complaining, arguing.

They keep making the wrong decision every time, and now I can't stand being at home, I want a new life somewhere else away from them. But I can't right now, applying for jobs and getting nowhere so I'm stuck here. I've become more avoidant/reserved when it comes to talking to them, not sure if that's the natural part of the process of changing or am I just over exaggerating? I feel guilty but I'm scared I'll be dragged into their loop.

Creatine/Creapure messing with my sleep?

I never had any sleep problems from creatine before, I enjoyed the benefits while still getting sleep but it seems to ruin my sleep now, However one thing I've noticed is I now use creapure which I guess is a more filtered version that some of you may know about, and now I get less and less sleep which is annoying because the benefits are amazing imo.

Could it be the dosage? Or is there something specific about creapure that is doing this? Why does my sleep suddenly become worse with it?

Creapure, better or just placebo

Creapure from what I know is creatine but filtered more, from Germany so pretty high standards. I feel less bloated while on it and seems to work better ( I think), does anyone else feel this way or is it just probably placebo

Was going to add permanently but you never know what the future holds.

My parents really messed me up, before I could even speak as a child, I was filled with trauma, never told me about brushing my teeth, terrible hygiene, put me in unnecessary surgeries, became a severe mouth breather because of them, face is very weird looking now, very underdeveloped, you name it. Turned me into a lonely man child filled with anger.

I have no idea what I did to deserve such parents, yes they had their moments in '"caring for me" but when it was time to raise me not only did they fail, they actively destroyed me. My brain is still stuck in teenage/child years, I can't keep up with society, I mess up any opportunity I get.

I have started going to the gym for some time which is a good thing, to fill out my terrible frame, hopefully that helps but mentally I'm always in a spiral, I don't think I ever make genuine progress, like my life is me walking on an endless treadmill and thinking I'm making progress.

I just always end up making the wrong decision no matter what. My parents hate each other and always blame each other when I confront them about anything, they are also adult children. I just want to disappear forever. Can't stand this torture anymore.
