Today I had to serve a very rude and unpleasant customer. He was insulting me, calling me fat and stupid when all I was trying to do was help him find clothes. He would constantly talk over me when I gave him advice or information and not take my words seriously when he was demanding me to get him this and that, which I could not find for him in an OP SHOP. I know all workplaces get this, but by the time he left I was shaking and almost crying in front of several customers. It took that much strength to not walk out or crawl up into a ball and break down. Im feeling the stress lately, and Im hardly coping. I cant find a job despite my year long efforts of working hard as a volunteer, rendering me financially useless. Im making so many mistakes at work which could be avoided if I didnt feel down and distant. I feel as if Im already behind in my studies as most people in my class have experience in the welfare sector, which I lack, so I have to push myself twice as far to get anywhere. I only get 2-3 days off a week from TAFE and volunteer work. I have three very ill family members, two of which are difficult to visit due to a lack of finances. I have had a lot of run-ins with rude people who have nothing but negativity to spout at me. And, to top it off, Ive had to deal with pissy neighbours and their asshole friends who enjoy attacking my 11 year old brother verbally and physically, as well as me and my family for their OWN ignorance. All in all, I dont think Im progressing very well, and its all pressing in on me to the point where I just want to give up... So to be called fat and stupid when Im doing everything I can to remain motivated and smart is just the cherry on top of a very shitty tasting cake.
