Problem A: The job situation Ok so here's the deal. I have worked for this support-firm for over a year, and for the last 8 months, I did this Intranet-project for them. Now they wanted me back on the call-line, and after several tries not to get there, they put me on the HP/Compaq-line anyway. So I thought "what the heck". But then after my third customer I began to get this panic-attacks and everything turn totally black in my head. It was instantly like the depression I had a year back. This really is a kick in the balls, cause I know this is directly linked to my ruff times in school (which I hoped that had disappeared by it's self. So I decided it would be time to call it quits and move home to Denmark from this crappy Swedish town, since I probably can't do the job they ask me to do. A resignation will be given 1 month in advance, this leaves me with problem B. Problem B: The money situation I started this job to pay off debt. Now I will maybe end in a debt that's even bigger than the debt was before I moved up here. Besides that, I have to get on the social-check again, cause right now I simply can't handle a job. I need to get myself together. Problem C: The apartment-situation So when I'm moving away from here, I have to get rid of my apartment. To bad the require that you quit your apartment 3 months in advance, because if you don't, you have to PAY those three months even if you don't live there. Well fuck them. They can bill me all they want, I'm in Denmark, and they're in Sweden. Fuck them. Now the other apartment-problem is how to get an apartment in Denmark. They are very expensive. So I'm hoping to move in with a guy I lived with a couple of years ago. To bad that my ex-girlfriend already rented the place, BUT maybe isn't moving in at all. So I'm hoping for that. |

Best case scenario: I move in with my buddy. I dodge all the bills from Sweden. I don't have to loan any more money. And I get the rest of my stay here with full pay. Worst case scenario: I have to move in with my mom and her boyfriend (in the middle of nowhere in Denmark). They are in the middle of building new kitchen and stuff, so the only place there's a room for me is in a really cold and small room on the loft. Then I have to loan a gazzilion bucks from my bank, which I can't pay back cause the state of Denmark won't give me any social-payment. Next chapter here is that I find a nice decent bridge and put on "meltphace6" in my headphones as I try to fly. |

But if you tell them (the support firm) about your problems and the depression etc., won't they allow you to work in another of their departments? Like do a project similar to what you did in the last 8 months? You might as well try talking to your boss about it, since you're planning to leave there anyway... you've got nothing to lose? I believe some companies (in holland anyway) would even allow you to stay home whilst still getting paid because a depression also counts as being 'sick'. But then you'd probably also have to see a psychiatrist or something, which would no doubt be rather confronting :-/ The whole situation sucks though :-/ I don't really know what else to say... i hope everything will work out one way or the other for you. That worst case scenario sounds horrible :-( |

The firm only has two things left for me to do. Both involving sitting on the line. They understand that it's because i'm frucked in my head or whateva, but they can't do anything about it. And I have been seeing a shrink for the last 3 months or so, so i'm going for that "calling in sick" on the behalf of the depression. That won't give me a whole salery though :-/ |

Whatever you do don't take depression drugs unless you really have to or the thought of "dead man walking" has a particular appeal to you! |

I might be of help because I'm in a slightly similar, though less drastic, situation. My solution to these so far is to find the cheapest place to live. You might be surprised at how much renting an apartment varies from place to place, because I sure was. Go to www.mapquest.com and pick possible cities you might be willing to go to at random. Then go to google.com and search for "(that city) plus "classifieds". I'm about to move into an apartment that is only 425 US dollars a month which is much less than 750 a month or so around where I live now. I'm pretty sure it costs less in more rural areas. However, it seems to be customary to do a credit check for tenants.. but it's maybe likely that an explanation of your situation to the a needing landlord would be good enough. As long as you can pay the landlord the money every month while slowly paying off the debt, you might be ok? |

Also, you might have to eat the cheapest. It's probably possible to eat off of 6 or 7 US dollars a day which I might soon be doing. You just have to only buy the cheapest things. |
