Employment is tough when disabilities are concerned, however the longer you go unemployed, the harder it will be to get back into the workforce. Especially since prospective employers don't like employment gaps on Resumes! It's perfectly normal to feel anxious and unsure, but it's something we all have to overcome at some point. I suffer from crippling anxiety and Social Anxiety Disorder. After my company went bankrupt, I was offered a job that thrusted me into the forefront of large customer meetings and lots of travel. I didn't think I would last very long because I was terrified, but it turned out to be the best thing that happened to me because it forced me to overcome my fears. This helped me thrive and opened up allot of opportunities!! Jobs that I really enjoyed. I guess my point is that you always have to be willing to start from the bottom if you want to make it to the top. Find a company with something that might peak your creativity, and try to get your foot through the door at any level. Monotonous jobs suck, but they also open doors if you're persistent. You're eloquent, well spoken, and have a cheerful disposition. Never sell yourself short!!
The good thing in my case is that there isn’t really a gap because I have been continuously working for my mom’s company since 2015 with increasing responsibilities. For me, I think I am very traumatized from three jobs that didn’t go so well for me, so I am afraid that I will get myself fired again because I am not fast or intense enough on the day to day. I also have trouble dealing with overwhelming authority, meaning that if someone has the power of “life and death” over me and uses it as a tool on me, I get upset. I freeze up in the face of great power when I know that I am dependent on that power and not able to fight it.
This is video #8😏 The last one was #7. Which reminds me, I think I still have comments to answer from several videos ago, haha. I'll have to look later.
I think you may not like work bc yr bored. If you were doing something challenging or interesting you would do a lot better. Its difficult to find a job like that though, esp when you don't have a lot of experience already. You know yr smarter, probably more than the average person. I know that doesn't make it any easier. I don't mind any job that doesn't involve customers. I'm an epic appt canceller. I have to cancel a thing at least twice bf I finally go. I think its bc I hate things I'm locked into. Its like a claustrophobic thing. If I read the label on some allergy medicine & it says "works for 12 hrs" I'm like "Nope, that's too much commitment. What if I change my mind seven hrs in? Can't do it" lol. Dang it. Forgot to listen to the song first. Listened to the song. I don't like songs that tell people to get jobs, haha. People put too much stock in the value of work that is done just for the sake of working.
That is part of it. For me, I cancel because I am unsure that I won’t be wasting my time. I think that a lot of times the process with medical services is super inefficient and it takes way more visits than needed. And the whole idea of being locked into things also applies to my employment situation. If I take a job, that means that I can’t really leave without causing problems and I have to stay there, locked up, until the end of the day each day. At my last job, I couldn’t even check my phone or go to the bathroom without pressing some button in the computer and it’s all timed. I played music at my desk and never got caught but I kind of knew that was going to be used to fire me at some point, but they put me on forced medical leave instead. So in summary, I felt really stuck.
