Does anyone else have trouble hunting for a job or holding one due to panic and !
Question: I hate dealing with the stress of virtually every job Ive ever done. I do good and often get promoted but I stress on will it get robbed? Will my boss be in a bad mood? They often are. Will I get yelled at? Is the work hard? Will the customer attack me. I hate working with the public but I have no skills so I end up in restaurants,or shops. Sometimes Ive even got very good wages but the doc thinks I might be schizophrenic due to past problems so Im on meds.I also always hide my mental problems. Now Im hunting a job.I quit my last job because I had panic attacks. How do I get a new job.Why should I say I left the last job? I feel so depressed about the whole process of job hunting.I keep thinking of reasons they wont hire me. I have learning disabilities to so I struggle with any type of schooling. Its takes me a long time to process certain things.Please dont say collect disability because I cant .Nobody will support me while I wait.I will have to live in my car .How can get a job?

I recently lost a job due to panic/anxiety. I actually had to quit because it got to be too much, so I know what you're going through. Maybe you could look for a job, somewhere as a receptionist, or something like that in the medical field. I think I would feel safer, working for a doctor who can actually understand the problems we go through. I always worry so much about letting my employer down because I just can't be at work as often as others due to anxiety. Working from home would be great, if you could find it. I think the best bet is to work somewhere that people can be understanding (like a medical office.) Also, although not a wonderful job, is maid services because their hours are flexible. I'm sorry I don't know exactly what to do, because I am in the same boat. But, I really hope you find something.
You are struggling quite a bit and I would recommend medication. Anxiety can be very destructive unless you deal with it. You can always check out a clinic, ywca, county mental health referral for someone who can help you with little expense. I would take any job you can and deal with the anxiety-worry about getting the right job when things settle a bit. My bff is a social worker and struggles every day with her own anxiety she is lucky enough to work with understanding people. I am lucky enough to work out of my home which makes managing mine much easier. Good luck, don't give up
I would say get a job that will def hire you like mcdonalds and then apply for SSI or SSD. I get both. I have panic attacks,OCD, and borderline personality disorder. It only took me two months to start receiving money and they gave me back checks to pay me from the date I applied. Good Luck.
My cousin's kid has your problems. She lives with her mother, is between jobs again.
This is a hard life. You have my sympathy.
I can't believe no one has suggested getting some therapy first. Maybe you have some underlying things that are creating this anxiety. Drugs are not always the best first answer. I went to therapy and I was prescribed Klonipin. But after a couple months I didn't need them, but knew I had some with me at all times just in case. My attacks used to be severe, and therapy really helped my realize what was causing my attacks. Look into your community mental health center. They can help you on a sliding scale, especially if you don't have any income. It is not a fun life situation, but there is help out there. I wish you the best and in the meantime, try to find that job that doesn't interact with ppl and you are on your own. What about paper delivery?
I have a nephew who is much worse than you. He can't function at all in a full time job setting. He still lives at home with his parents. He is about 35. I believe you probably need some medical intervention. With the proper medication, you will probably be much better in public. Did you look into the possibility of assistance because you are disabled? I sent you information about the ADA. You have to realize that you are not alone. You should try to find a support group who can help you cope. Good luck.
