I hate my current job. I work at home primarily, save for 2 days in a pay period. I feel stuck and unable to go anywhere else because of our current coparenting schedule it’s 50/50, alternating weekends and days through the week.

Obviously I’m divorced. My ex and I work for the same government agency. We have two kids, one can be by herself at home for few hours. The other is 6 and he can’t. He also has autism and adhd, so finding daycare has been pretty much impossible.

I never got out of isolation since Covid and the lockdowns. I don’t speak to anyone except my supervisor for my assignments. I literally have no clue what I’m doing half the time at work. I’m completely miserable. I’ve put on 50lbs since I started as an intern. I sit and stare at a computer all week. I also have been working on my masters. I’m probably going to fail my capstone class. My son requires so much care I couldn’t keep up when I have him.

I used to be a steelworker before I went back to school. I wasn’t “happy” but I sure as shit wasn’t miserable and depressed.

I’m not drinking or anything like that. I’m completely miserable everyday I roll out of bed and turn this computer on. I can’t take it anymore.
