I've been a DSP for a total of 6 months and I'm done. I miss my old office job. The reason I had to leave my office job was because I was a student worker and was graduating, and there were no positions after graduation.

​

I'm tired of all the fucking outings, the low pay (I made more money as a student worker!!) and dealing with clients who are rude to me. I came into this field because I cared, and now I'm already burnt out. I don't care anymore. Maybe I'm just the wrong type of person for this field. I don't know.

​

I'm applying to office jobs. I can't believe I could make more money sitting on my ass than going on a million outings and getting yelled at.

So this is embarrassing to even type out because I feel like it's middle school shit, but there is a client that doesn't like me and it's been bothering me. I am a people pleaser and I'm trying to get better at it. I'm in a dayhab program and I'm assigned to her T-Logs/ISPs every four weeks, but I dread the week I'm with her.

I have to prompt her to use the bathroom, and she says "I don't need anyone to tell me to go to the bathroom" meanwhile she deals with incontinence. One time I literally told her "yes I do, it's part of my job." I prompt her to do her ISPs and she says "No, I don't want to do them with you." She loudly says "NO" when I approach her and tells me to stop bugging her.

It's not like I can just leave her alone, as I have to do my fuckin job. Am I even cut out for this job as a people pleaser? I don't bend over backwards to get individuals everything they could ever want, but I do like being liked. I've asked coworkers and they say she is like this to newer staff, but maybe y'all have tips to get on her good side? Thanks for anything y'all can give me.
