I just quit my factory job.
I was there for less than three weeks.
We are shit poor, and I just couldn't take the work pace. It was physically harmful for me to go that fast.
Commence feeling like a failure and collapsing under the weight of my parents' disappointment.

Hey, hey. Hey.
I quit my warehouse job after a few months because I simply couldn't cut it. Labour jobs are not for everyone, do not beat yourself up over it. Chin up dude, you'll find something better.

Yeah. I was feeling rather ... I dunno, fill in the blank, and was feeling that low at the moment.
Gol, I sincerely hope so. The last year has done nothing but find multiple ways to tell me that I am not wanted nor valuable.
*sigh*

I lost my first job out of college a month after moving out and getting stuck into a one year lease. It sucks, bro. I know. I recently moved back in. Still trying to find something permanent. And life insurance sales does not count.

They will literally hire anybody. They have a 98% turnover for the first year and about $500 in up front costs (with several months of no paycheck.)
Being a 1099 sucks balls.

I know how you feel. Ironically I had just gotten my old job back, and then today which was gonna be my second day back at work I had a huge panic attack/anxiety attack and had to call in because I wasn't able to work in the condition I was in. Needless to say my boss wasn't happy and I think I'll most likely be fired.

Oh, Sethre! That's horrible!
I had to be driven home last week because I had an anxiety attack at work.
I was absent twice in two weeks.

I wasn't sure wether to write this or not, I deleted my first draft as this thread is about you Mister Sympa ^^
Let's just say I went to cooking school, got bullied as an adult student (yeh....) and finished 10 months of my 24 month apprenticeship at an elderly care center. At the end of those 10 months I had anxiety and depression. I moved to my hometown and proved that it was for me about making a choice for myself!
I am now anxiety free 
such a clichè, but yeh you'll be fine I'm sure !

Hey, thanks for sharing, Akiyo.
Was it the apprenticeship that gave you the anxiety issues?

I felt the same a few years ago, but then I read Russell Brands autobiography. It actually helped me out in dark times. Probably because I thought it was a good idea to read something funny whilst depressed.
He's a crazy idiot but two quotes always stuck in my mind...
“My dad's philosophy was (and I think still is) that life is a malevolent force, which seeks to destroy you, and you have to struggle with it. Only those who are hard enough will succeed. Most people get crushed, but if you fight, in the end life will go, "Fucking hell. This one's serious. Let him through.”
“It's difficult to believe in yourself because the idea of self is an artificial construction. You are, in fact, part of the glorious oneness of the universe. Everything beautiful in the world is within you. No one really feels self-confident deep down because it's an artificial idea. Really, people aren't that worried about what you're doing or what you're saying, so you can drift around the world relatively anonymously: you must not feel persecuted and examined. Liberate yourself from that idea that people are watching you.”
So yeah......
I can't really give you advice on this one, but you're going to have to find your own calling. Mine so happened to be in the form of a book about drugs, struggle and hustle.
Good luck dude
THE HELL YOU READING FOOL???

Wisdom from Russel Brand. You know, for a man who appears as he does, he is certainly of an intelligent mind.
Also, he's a bloody fairy and I love that about him.

Honestly, going into that would stir up powerful emotions still.
I can say though that after I struggled through cooking school I thought I had that apprenticeship in the bag, yo.. But it was hard for me to learn and memorize and their policy of teaching was "Do it on your own and if you fail, do it again" Something which I totally understand, but they also tell me I wasn't up to standards fast enough. Responsibility was thrown at me that I just didn't handle cause I sucked at it even though I tried hard
they even adviced me to start in a different branch with cakes and pastries one of the few things I could do right xD (it would have taken years and at least another 200k in studenloans, in NOK)
Oh, and I dated the son of one of the chefs there. and cause that son to break up with his girlfriend for my sake. well, not intentionally, but I understand the hatred after that.. NOT PROUD of how that all went down...
