I have been trying my best to self medicate so I can appear functional at my first real job, at a gas station
as of the last 6 or 7 months I believe!
ask me anything!
I graduated highschool in 2022 from a trade school with the 10 entry level ASE automotive certificates, but never got my driver's license mostly because I get too anxious while driving, and then worked in construction for a couple years, mostly painting rentals but I couldn't get enough work or paid enough plus I was told someone was going to file my taxes for me and that I wouldn't have to worry about anything like the previous years I have worked in construction, but for two different years I ended up having to report income as self employeed and didn't realize that meant I would owe the IRS so I ran around town asking every corporate gas station/fast food/grocery store if they were hiring, so I am still in a little debt and not sure what profession I want to work towards anymore. But the people at the gas station I work at seem to like me and respect my identity, though maybe they don't want an HR nightmare because I am like the only trans employee and was also trying to tell my boss I have undiagnosed autism, but it's like I only work part time because I am not promising to be there more hours than I am willing to be productive and so I only am ever given like 20-30 hours a week anymore, so I am lucky to still live with my family who gets SSI because of the old and don't have to help much with billsWelcome! Glad to hear you're working! Did you recently graduate?
