How do I get a job as an EMT-B?

In my depression feeling how do i present well and get a job and get to know people?

  • Every job i go - i don't get along with people and they don't like me. In the job i can't able to cope and learn things fast. I quit every jobs that i get. Now the problem is that i must need a job to survive - if not no one going to help me. Whoever i ask help, it turn out bad and they don't help me. They get me in problems and they dun help me. I don't know how to be open to people and be friendly. I have been lonely for years in my life and i dun have any friends and i have never mix around with people so far and no one invite me or call me or talk to me friendly. They see me as not important person even my own priest too. All of them reject me and they treat me with no respect and making fun of me. No one seem to understand me and help me out. They expect me to help myself and get a job. If i didn't get a job, my family member everyday keep stressing me and pressuring me until i get a job and they makes my day sucks that i have no choices think of ending my life one day to come. I am waiting for the right moment then i will end my life. Each days come they make give me more stress and not happy at all. No one wants to help me, no place want to take me in and help me. I have to tell many lies to survive my life and escape from my family giving stress to me. I don't know one day i may turn into a angry person or i will kill my own family. The anger in me is can't control. I have show my temper to my family and shout at them. Went at inetrview those people make fun at me and treat me like ****, i lose my head and say F** YOU BASTARD PEOPLE and i walk off. Everyone keep pissing me off and i dun think i can contol my temper

  • Answer:

    There are many people who are struggling with depression these days, so don't feel alone. I have been in your situation and am currently between jobs because of my temper. This society is not very understanding and unfortunately in the business world there isn't much care or consideration for feelings. It all comes down to numbers and results. The fact that you have acknowledged that you have a problem is the first step in the right direction. I have been turned away by friends and pastors as well, and it is very discouraging but don't take it to heart. Alot of people can't carry their own burdens let alone some one elses. You can call 211 and ask for a referral for a mental health center. There are community centers that are based on income, so you can see a doctor on a sliding scale or sometimes free. I'm sure your love for your family gives you the desire to better yourself, so keep reminding yourself that you need to do this. I started anti-depressants and anxiety medicine not long ago and am working toward group therapy and making the right friends. Just was hired in a new job and am looking forward to a new beginning. You can do the same, don't give up. It would be good for you to talk with someone, there are usually underlying issues that trigger depression or it may be hereditary, but it is fixable! Check out NAMI (www.nami.org), lots of support groups.Hang in there, I know its tough but not worth hurting yourself or others....... ever been to jail?

Look, I have ADHD, and suffer from depression. Even though I take medication that helps, I also know that I myself am responsible for my actions, and need to try to take whatever measures I can to help overcome the challenges of work, school, marriage, etc. I've been where you're at, and, believe me, walking away quitting, and blaming your condition is an easy short-term cop out, that will leave you even more depressed and unbearable to deal with in the long run (This from somebody who knows from experience). I know its tough, and I say this as someone who struggles with your condition, but it sounds like you need to get off the pity pot, and start making a better effort to deal with it yourself. The world does not owe us a luxury box suite life of ease because we have it harder then they do, and, not only will you get better respect from others for trying to take the bull by the horns and deal with the situation, but you will have a much better opinion of yourself as well. With the next job you get, try not bailing the moment something goes wrong. If you're having trouble adjusting, then just tell your supervisor why, and be willing to apologize if you ever inappropriately insult or offend any of your coworkers. If they let you go because of it, chances are you can file a discrimination case against them, unless you signed an "at will" termination clause when you hired in. And, even so, if they fired you because you tried hard but wasn't able to do the job, there is no shame in that. Trust me, I know!!! Best of Luck!!

Some people just arent meant to succeed, maybe you're one of them? Michael Myers isn't real BTW. It's not anyone's job to like you or accept you. Stop thinking other people are supposed to care. They're not. You have to do that yourself.

You have to try to control your anger. It is very sad, that people have made fun of you so often, and yes, you may be right, that people sense weakness. Well then -s top showing the weakness!!! As much as you can, show that you are strong. And whatever type of life you came from, love and accept yourself.

Go get counseling - for depression, and for life coaching so you can learn how to act so people like you. Step back and look at yourself from the outside - and ask yourself - "Would I like to be friends with that person?" Go to the bookstore or library (free) and get some books on Anger Management. Dealing with your anger might help you deal with everything else in your life. Good luck.

I think in work when you have to work with colleagues there are going to some easier to work with than others.I know because I have experienced this in jobs in the past and I let my emotions take over when I should have persevered,you are at work its not a place for self indulgence but some of work skills just improve with practise,I think employers like to see you are a reliable employee and if they cant because you chop and change jobs too much and say that you cant get on with people it would put them off taking you on.Its not east to get a job in a recession particulary if youve been out of work several years,how to explain the gaps if its been through mental health,If you think of money and how good it feels to hold down a job then it is an incentive,

I understand your feelings and I know how frustrating it can be. I have difficulty holding down a job also. In my last job, I had a review and they told me they didn't like the tone of my voice! You should seek out professional help. If you don't have insurance or the funds to see a psychiatrist, find a community mental health center in your area. These are funded by the government and they can provide help for you. If you can't find an agency, contact your local health department and ask about it. If that doesn't work, trying contacting your local United Way agency. They offer "first call for help" and they should be able to find the help you need. Don't give up! If your anger gets out of control, just get away from everyone for a while. Take a long walk or just be by yourself until you calm down. Good luck!

I am sorry to hear your feeling so down you can get better and out of this maybe you are trying to proctect yourself from hurt and that is why you dont make friends easily. I think you really need to see a counsellor go to your doctors their is one at every surgery they are really nice and it will help you. It did me when i sufferred depressed and a rough time. Try to go out places find things you enjoy doing to make freinds, remember not everyone will like you everyone has this but you can get over this read this brilliant book I got it on the joycemeyer website and reading it now its brillliant I watched him on tv speaking.

You are dealing with a lot of inner pain. Be kind to yourself and understand this has nothing to do with your external world, and everything to do with your heart. When we lack love we feel pain. Anger is a symptom of pain. When you carry pain and the symptoms around with you it is a very heavy weight, and like a pressure cooker, after time it gets too full and needs to release. Love has it's symptoms as acceptance, joy, peace and kindness. Everyone is entitled to get this, yet few do because they are so involved in the external tangle of pain. Like a rat in a maze, people run around and around looking for what is missing outside of themselves. Sometimes people get so tired and suffer so deeply that they stop and ask for help. This is were you are. You have the wisedom and strength to want more for yourself and you have stopped to ask for another way. The way is to completely surrender, give up, allow God to take over. This is the way to forgiving yourself, accepting yourself and loving yourself. In doing this you will allow the pain to leave and open the connection of energy and love of your spirit. Everything that you have suffered has brought you to this point, and so it is good.

Maybe you should stop worrying about what people are or aren't doing for you, you know? What do you want to do? If you really like something, as a job, it shouldn't matter if you don't make best friends with your coworkers. It's hard to make friends when you are constantly stressing about work and about home. I know this seems like awkward advice, but just calm down. Do something that'll help you relieve all that stress. Like exercising. It calms you down a lot. I would suggest yoga, or even something like racquetball or just going for a walk.
