General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Hello my name is Michelle I keep forgetting to come back on here for support until today when I realized I really need support on a situation that I don't know how to handle. I have a learning disability and right now I am in a progrom called vocational rehabitition where they can help you find a job and through a program there I have a job coach who comes with my to volunteering which will end at the end of the month ever since I started and met with my job coach she says things to me like your special needs I told her I dont like it and it took her a couple times to stop to even she is really starting to insult me and had to spend almost 45 minute which is taking time from me doing the work that I am supposed to do at the office where I am volunteering at and she told me she has never had a client like me and who is very difficult she told me usually clients love me and I can't wait to work with them she then told me that she doesn't like coming to her job and loses sleep over me and she can't wait until this is done so she doesn't have to work with me and wants to take time off of her job to recover from me. To be very honest this whole this is very hurtful and difficult on me that I even went back to my vr advisor to go talk about it and he started to side with her my job coach also cussing and says the F word almost everytime I see her. I am trying so hard not to run away from this but I just don't know what to do I am at lost.Sorry for this being so long.

Maybe this is rough, but this could just be a side distraction from their own work and don't want to deal with it, it's not supportive, down right selfish, so you have to be too. When you are in the workforce it is fierce, and competitive, and you need to train hard. Gain some inner confidence by writing out pros and cons if you continue to naw over this issue, write out pretend outcomes that make you happy. Not for anyone else, but you. My best, Heidi

That must be very disturbing and challenging for you, and I agree with what badluckandtrouble said – just do what you need to do and move on. I will certainly be praying for your situation, asking the Lord to give you wisdom, understanding, and guidance to handle this matter. Stay strong and all the very best!

How important is this particular company to you?? Is there another company you can use for same money and services? And I would definitely be sending a letter of improper attitude to her supervisor. Have someone close to you do it for you if you're not comfortable. You have a great attitude especially that you are looking for help with an issue. Kudos my dear. keep it up!!!.

I have worked with job coaches and individuals with different abilities. I agree, a notebook for what you are learning will be an excellent tool to help you succeed on your own. If the personality clash is personal as well as professional, then that is a skill you're learning (I know, not exactly what you want to hear, however, the more skills you obtain through job coaching, the better fit you will find in future). Vocational Rehabilitation works with different companies to pair up work clients with job coaches based upon the known situation. Being a job coach can be heart-breaking especially when your experience is limited and the training is not supplied in a form to help you figure out a positive interaction that works for both you and the client. As the client, you have the right to be treated with respect (no cursing, no abuse, no work stoppage) in the workplace. The 45 minutes your job coach spends should be in a written record and can be investigated through a formal complaint. The problem here is knowing the name of the company, the state agency name, the location of the work place, the type of contract (federal, state, restricted bidding, etc...) and having ONLY facts, no feelings listed in complaint. You may need help in organizing the information and hopefully, you have someone who you can trust to be honorable to help you do this. I wish you the best in this process.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
