Update on my work situation

I don't get these posts by NewJourno,

Look at the threads he created from the day he joined... He's either trolling or does not read ANY REPLIES.

I have been responding to a few replies fyi, I just don't respond to ones which are direct insults. It usually does not lead to anything constructive.

No insults,

I remember the first thread you created about moving to Joburg and finding it hard to get a job bleh bleh bleh.

I think people just got fed-up with your trolling and then the insults started. Just my guess. I have no dog in this fight :D

Haha, I really do not know what is up there. I have not heard back from them but they legit took like 6 months after getting my CV to contact me. Many big media companies are undergoing a major transition so they can be a bit disorganized. It is either I failed or they will contact me down the line.

All I can advise is get as much experience as you can, even if it sucks there, and get through it for a little bit longer. Working at a company for a long time looks great on your CV and should open you up to a lot more opportunities and less BS in the future

The guy is young and trying, I made a lot of stupid threads when i was younger and some of us are still making stupid threads now that we're older. If any advice can help the guy it is worth all the negative feedback

Whaaaatttt? Is he a HE? With all this bitchin and moaning and talking about anxiety and stuff I thought the OP was definitely a "she"...

Anxiety is a huge problem, I have a family member with it. My entire family is chill and has no issues in any situation, but for some reason my 1 sibling is just anxious 24/7 despite the whole family coming from the same background and environment.

It takes time to get over(and sometimes medication it seems) but many people have hurdles in their life they have to overcome

In my case, I was subjected to extensive bullying in High School and even it still happens sometimes to this day. I think my Dad also has intermittent explosive disorder so that also took its toll on me.

Being anxious really sucks. I am fine for the most part and perfectly normal but the anxiety takes me to dark places. I'm harmless and not a danger to anyone else but I can get self-destructive thoughts.

Don't we all.

Find a happy place to go to, be it confining in friends or intimate relationships or a hobby whatever. The key is (for me anyway) to control my thoughts as best I can, force yourself to think of something else when thoughts that displease you come to mind, keep doing this until you have time to sit down and think what you are going to do about whatever it is that's displeasing or causing harm to you, as often as not its something of your doing, indirect perhaps, and often its something out of your control, regardless you have to do something, decide how you are going to deal with it mentally and physically, sitting around thinking about these things just dwelling on the unhappiness it causes you has no benefit what so ever and in all likeliness is ever more destroying the soundness that should be your mental faculties.

Same here. I have an almost identical background.

It freaks me out when people say they've never met anyone as calm as me. Well 20 years ago I was a quivering mess.

While I can't say exactly what fixed me just know there's hope.
