Okay, my mom has this annoying rule that she wants me to get a job before I get my temps. Ya, not my license, my temps. I totally understand that she wants me to be capable of paying for my own gas and insurance, but seeing as there are so few jobs available in my area, and those jobs are being filled by older, more qualified, and jobless people, I would need to get a job farther away from my house - like, more than your average walking distance. I am 16 and I have been able to get my temps now for almost a year. I am very capable of driving, and can already drive, its just a matter of being able to drive legally. I already have a car, my mom even bought it for me (ironic. Right?) and she is still saying that I need a job. I have applied at every fast food restaurant known to man around town and just about any other business that hires minors. I am being made fun of by this idiotic kid at school who is younger than me and always rubs it in my face that he can drive. My best friend has her license, and many of my other friends are about to get their licenses. I am getting so tired of the fact that everyone around me is getting privileges handed to them, while I have to actually earn everything I get. It is hard enough to keep my grades at a passing level as is, and I have no idea how I am going to fit a job on top of that. My mom just doesn’t seem to understand that school is a job in end of itself, I wouldn’t have a stable, always available ride everyday, and if I get a job, my grades are going to suffer from it, ergo, bad college application. I need to find a way to convince my mom that a job is not something that I want to get into right now because I am concerned with just passing school, let alone doing that and a job. After I get my license, I will be able to alter my school schedule for next year to be able to have school part time and get out early to go to a job, but I would need my license first. I am very willing to get a job, but since it is hard enough for me to keep my grades up, I would rather get a license first, then make arrangements with my school schedule. Does anyone have any advice?

Btw: I doubt insurance is a big deal for her to pay, she has gotten a new job recently and has obtained quite a few raises. She paid my brother’s insurance while he was jobless, which was for a year, so I don’t see why she couldn’t pay for mine like she did for my brother. Anyway, my insurance would be cheaper for me than my brother, because rates with our insurance company are lower for girls, and he has been in a minor accident before.

It’s an Italian pizza/pasta place, I’m going Saturday night for a trial run. I literally went in, handed in my resume, and he said on the spot “come in Sat night for a trial run”. I have no idea what to expect! I have no experience, which he said was fine. He was one of those scary Italians who probably don’t mean to be scary but just are. And someone heard that a girl quit because they yelled a lot. Lol now I’m scared. I can’t deal with high pressure places like that. If it’s super busy I will DIE. I will sweat like crazy, become nearly overwhelmed, have a headache, and probably forgetful. What does a job like this enquire? I think it’s in the kitchen AND on the floor. I’m a nervous wreck!
Thanks.

I’m an alcoholic.. A functional one. I didn’t lose anything, I’m doing great at work and my wife loves me, however I do have a drinking problem. I love beer. I can control myself if I have to not drink, but frankly, I can count on my hand the number of days I didn’t drink in the last 10 years. Never really affected my life, as I tend to not get “drunk”, but it’s really an habit. When I wash the car, when I watch a hockey game, when I go to the restaurant, when I play video game, when I sail my boat… I think there’s not one occasion that doesn’t “deserve a few beers”. However, i’m able to not drink when it’s not appropriate, such as long road trip, or during work. But I’ll usually drink as soon as I arrive home. I can easily reach 8 beers in one night.

Now I’ve had a car crash 1 month ago (was sober!), and the car rolled over several time. My car was a convertible, my head hit the grass a few times while it was rolling over on the side of the highway. This caused issues to some of my cervical discs, C4-C5, C6-C7 and D2. (Inflation)

The pain started to create anxiety, and eventually led to some panic attacks. And well, I was prescribed Gavindo (300mg Gabapentin, and Vitamin B1, B12), to take every 12 hours, and from another doctor, I was prescribed 0.25 MG Xanax pills “BREAK THE GLASS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY” prescription.

Those panic attacks can get really scary so I don’t mind having the emergency pills, they have helped a few times, although my orthopedist wants me to pass through the anxiety attacks without the xanax, and handle it by myself.

Anyway, Both medicines (xanax and gabapentin) CAN’T be mixed with alcohol. And I don’t mind leaving alcohol.I think this is a good opportunity to quit, however, I’m already dealing with anxiety and panic attacks, so I’m afraid of the withdrawal symptoms. I’m reaching 3 days without alcohol, so far so good. Problems sleeping. I’ve red about the dangers of sudden withdrawal such as seizures etc… I’m really afraid of this. How “strong” an alcoholic do you need to be in order to suffer seizures, dt’s etc..?

Is quitting alcohol while working on my new anxiety attacks due to my back pain and car crash a good idea?

I’m really not sure what to do here.. I did not talk to my orthopedist about my alcohol problems. My HEAD is ready to quit alcohol. My MIND is ready to quit. But I’m afraid of what I can’t control, and that is PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS due to withdrawal.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

PS: Sorry for my mediocre English, it isn’t my primary language.
Edit: I’m starting physical therapy to help recover from the injury tomorrow of course, and will talk about my anxiety and alcoholism with the doctor.

detailed story::

everyone please help i need someone to talk to i think he might hurt me

So when i graduated from high school, ALL of the friends went away for college, i went to community college. I was sad, and started working at this restaurant. my first day i met a guy, it was also his first day, and we hit it off perfectly. in the matter of weeks we became BEST FRIENDS. we were inseparable. literally every free moment i had was spent with him. we had so much fun. and he was really funny, cute, and charming.
he was a senior that year, so i got to meet alot of his friends, and everyone loved him, and he had every girl chasing him for his attention. so eventually as time went on, i developed a crush on him. and it seemed liked he liked me too, even thou i suspected he was bisexual/gay. but the more we hung the more i thought he was straight.

he would take me out to eat everyday, gave me gifts, and made me feel so special. however i noticed that he treated everyone else around him bad. especially his family. and he used ppl.
so i thought that he spent so much time with me cuz he liked me, however one day he told me even thou he knew alot of ppl that i was the only friend he ever had.

well soon, i discovered he shoplifted often, and he got me into it. i knew my parents had plenty of money and i didnt need to steal, but i saw how he would still literally thousands of dollars of stuff without ever getting caught. i mean out the mall, high end stores like saks, nordstroms, nemian marcus, target. i knew it was wrong, but we did it so much i never thought about gettin caught.
well eventually we did, and we went to jail, i had been stopped months before, and he didnt do around me anymore. but he did that day and. we went to jail. and he never even said sorry.

i forgave him, i couldnt stay mad at him, i was sooo in love with him. he was the first boy i trusted in years. he would tell me that he wanted to marry me and this stuff. and it seemed lik he was serious.
but he never asked me out. we spent everyday together and he never even kissed me, we would hold hands but thats it. but we never talked about it, to me it seemd lik actions spoke louder than words

i noticed that he was using everyone around. and he didnt care about anybody feelings.
he has a rough home life. his parents still together, married, living together. but the daddy cheats and has who knows how many kids. and the momma girlfriend spends the night everyday.
the aunt, grandma, his younger sister (she is bipolar), mother, are all gay. and he told me was raped by a family member when he was a child. i think it was man. but he didnt say.

all of his friends always joke and say he is crazy as hell, and be surprised when they here i never seen him fight. turns out he fights all the time and is diagnosed BIPOLAR///(and later on wit multiple personalities) and was medicated for it.
but he wont even argue with me. he also told me that he hates animals. killed his sister rabbit cause she got it around his birthday. and killed his puppy cause it bit him. and killed fish too. and doesnt feel bad.

so i found out that he is gay. and i ask him, he denies, but i seen pictures and text on his ex phone. but he only used the boy for money. he doesnt care about nobody but his self. he tricked the boy to think he was in love with him. and they were soul mates. but he ended up cheating with him wit this boy who goes to my school, which brings me to the problem.

one day him and his dad got into a bad fight. i went to pick him up, and he was bleeding. i am now away to college, and he ended up coming to stay with me. it was suppose to be for a lil bit till he could go back home. but he wouldnt leave. and he basically sucked every penny i had. i got a dollar, i gave him 50 cent or more cause i was sooo in love. but thats when i found out about the first boy. he would take out both of us and pay for me. he was so nice. but a victim.
i mean i just couldnt kick him out, he started treating me bad, and didnt appreciate all i did for him, i mean i even gotten him out of jail during the summer. but i was scared to kick him out, i didnt know why thou. it was lik a lil voice saying dont do it.

i always knew something wasnt right with him, so the other day i looked up antisocial disorder, and realized he fits every single symptom to a T. and not he matches like, well he did this once,.. no everything is just apart of him.

his ex gf got in contact with me trying to warn me to get away. she was tellin me how she waited on him for over and year so i shouldnt waste my time. and i found out he lies about everything. he will take something in someone life and make into his. ex. i askd wat his dad did for a living. he said he worked for sprint. his ex said her dad worked for sprint and he was lying. it was a bunch of stuff lik that

.charm
.con artist- the best ever
.grandiose sense of self-thinks he is a celebrity
.pathological
i’m sorry i guess that my thing was too long and did put everything.

he lives with me at my apartment at school. and if i kick him out he wont have anywhere to go. semester doesnt end till may. so im stuck there till then. im scared to death to kick him out cause he knows how to break into my room. and he knows where i live and where my parents work. he might try to tear up my car or something. or try to kill me. im scared he might hurt me
