What's Bothering You?

I've been at my job for 3 years. I've always been diligent and loyal and caused no drama. Today, my hours got severely cut. My boss said he hired too many people so he needed to cut some of the part-time people. I'm part time because I'm volunteering to beef my resume up for vet school. Something he said he supports and understands. Now I'm cut. Even when I offered to stop volunteering and increase days I can work, he said no. I'm guaranteed to work at least one day a week....but if he chooses to lay people off I could be one of them. I've been there the longest. I feel like they just want to keep the newer employees with cheaper wages... it hurts. I feel betrayed. I know I'm replaceable and it's just a job, but still. I genuinely loved that place.

This is minor. I’m worried about whether or not my pro controller that I have is legit. I have no idea how to tell and had no idea that there were fake controllers. I bought mine on Amazon, which now I know is a bit risky to do. I posted some pictures in a thread, so I’m hoping someone can confirm it for me. I really would hate for one more thing to go wrong. :/

Sorry for posting again so soon. I found out my pro controller isn’t legit; I’m really upset about this. I’m going to return it. Right now, I’m trying to find stores that are selling it brand new (the splatoon 3 controller) and legit, but the walmart has a review that says they’re selling a Japanese version and the item was sold through a third party seller so that raised red flags for me. best buy is sold out. there was some reviews on gamestop saying they received a used one and not a new. I’ll probably have to get just a regular version.
I hope my birthday still ends up being good and not worse considering all the stuff happening with my switch lite not charging and now this :/

There's something on my phone that's been absolutely killing my battery. I'm not sure what it is, but my guess is Spotify, since the battery would drain every time I listen to music. I know that the model I have is pretty old, but there's no way my phone should drop by 50% and more in such a short amount of time, even when I'm not using it.
I wish I knew for sure what the issue was. I'd like my phone to be usable past lunch time, thanks. :\

Not sure what phone you have, but I have an iPhone and you can check your battery usage by app. It’ll tell you which apps are using most of your battery percentage. I don’t know
If it’ll help, but it’s something.
I think I need a break from everything, I just feel so overwhelmed,
I finally found my teacher on teams, and despite sending a message, it shows they're not active on teams??
I honestly just want to learn, but this course is spinning my head upside down with no help. I am trying to do the questions I now feel stuck, I didn't mind doing this without talking to the teacher, but when it comes to the problems i mentioned beforehand; and not getting assistance in that.
plus old boss is still stressing me out, and had the gull to tell me not to say anything bad about the shop to the place I am at in so many words 'don't say bad things to the place that paid you'
All I wanted to get from them was a letter of redundancy, and payslips. Welp

I feel like a square peg, trying to fit myself into a round hole. I feel motivated to change myself for society, but it makes me feel uncomfortable trying to do it. Just when I realize that I fit in the square hole, my mind is immediately changed by an outside influence, and I come back to the round hole. Then the cycle repeats. When will it break? Who knows...
whichever maintenance worker was at our house today left these huge pipes sprawled across the parking space. :x
I suppose it's more of a minor annoyance. But I couldn't see them until I had already turned the corner. (ended up not being able to get in). too massive for me to move.
not the most curtious thing.

I’m sorry that this happened. I don’t like it when outdoor sounds wake me up either.

Today was a pretty good day. My racing thoughts and feeling a bit oversensitive about something silly got me a bit depressed though in the last couple of minutes. :/
So, I recently found out that my job may have shortened money back from me without my knowledge throughout the entire school year. At roughly $20 and change an hour with them shortening me 30 minutes a day (we get paid by the minute by the way), totaling roughly 2 and a half hours per week of work that I never got paid for. If this is true, they may see the last of me very soon. Union is looking into it right now.
I wish I didn't rely so much on other people for my emotions. I've done things in the distant past I'm not proud of because of my BPD, and no that isn't an excuse but I've been seen as a bad person in the eyes of others because of it. I've gotten better in terms of not acting impulsively or even wording things poorly, but it hurts to know that those from my past have probably made up their mind about me: that I am a bad person.
I've seen articles online about "how to survive a relationship with someone with BPD" or "how to survive living with someone with BPD" and it's disheartening that these are what people see from an outside perspective. People with BPD are often seen as manipulative or as bad people, when in reality I used to try to avoid forming close bonds with people to avoid hurting them.
I'm gotten better in terms of being more confident in myself as a person. And not in a "I'm attractive or comfortable with how I look" way. It's in a "I'm confident in my interests and not ashamed of the way I am as a person" sort of way. The fact that I'm more confident in what I like means I'm not picking up interests from those around me or getting into things solely because I want to fit in with specific people. I have friends now, and while we don't share all of the same interests, I'm okay with what we do share in common. My friend has gaming sessions with other people for a game I'm not particularly into, and I'm okay with that, because we do our own things together.
I remember a conversation with my therapist from high school that I ended up keeping in contact with. She said that just because your friends are hanging out with other people, it doesn't mean they forgot about you. Outside validation was a big thing for me and I used to rely heavily on other people for my happiness, and most of the time it ended up being one person. When that one person was with other people, I felt internally attacked.
I feel like I've improved a lot as a person despite a few of the struggles I have here and there, but I'm making progress. I just feel like I'm seen as a bad person in the eyes of some people because my actions in the past and there's no way to recover from that. I can better myself as a person, but will it change the way people see me? I don't think so.

Sorry for posting again so soon. I’m just really struggling today. Woke up to a dream that reminded me a little of high school (high school was a nightmare for me). Depressed because I miss my best friend. I’m also feeling bad about how I reacted in the past to some things because I misread mood or wasn’t feeling good or something else.
Also still feeling discouraged and a bit oversensitive about silly things.
I can’t get myself to get out of bed; I still need to take my medicine too. I hope once I do I feel a bit better.

My phone’s having battery issues too and I’ve only had it two years. It’s an iPhone 12 and it drains way faster than when I first bought it. Every time I use it for more than a little while the screen gets super warm. My previous iPhone I kept for around 3 years and it bricked out of nowhere and the person at the Apple Store said I had to get a new one. I’d switch to Android, but I’m too lazy to transfer everything over.
