I’m Scared and I Feel Alone?

Question by Nikki P: I’m scared and I feel alone?
I’m 19 years old and I’ve been trying to balance a full time job, full time school, and everything else in between. I’ve had two jobs I’m a CNA, both times I got fired, not because of my job performance but because some Nurse didn’t like me personally. The first time I had worked over a year never been late had no complaints but the Administrator fired me because I was “swerving in a chair” FYI my back was hurting and I was just turning around. I got another job but 6 months later an LVN kept verably abusing me and when I tried to talking the the Directer of Nurses she told me “Go flip burgers if you can’t handle it!” I wrote a complaint about her and she fired me a week later! I was told I couldn’t file wrongful termination because there was no illigal harrasment and theres no law against being a mean boss. I got so angery and depressed I went to my friend and had 2 wine coolers with her (I don’t ever drink but my friend was trying to calm me down because I was crying till they were sore) and got pulled over by traffic cops my BAC was .06 they took my license and now it’s going to be next to impossible to get a job. My parents aren’t mad but my mom is no comfort to me at all, she doesn’t know how much it hurts me because i know I’m a good person and I have a great personality. My friend Cynitha offered to let me move in with her and her husband in San Diego. I want to go but at the same time I don’t want to just run away from my problems, but would moving out of Fresno help??
