i really wish i had a job i could handle, ive had a mental health/autistic/OCD/PTSD breakdown at every job i've had. at one food delivery driver job i had to actively concentrate on not driving into oncoming traffic to end it all, it was exhausting mentally and physically and emotionally. no one at any of the jobs i've had would even talk to me or try to be friends, they were already friends with everyone else there (all highschoolers, younger enough than me that we had nothing in common - which is true for all other age groups as well since i'm an unlikeable weirdo) and ignored me, i just stood silently in the corner when no one needed me to do something in particular. i'm not good enough at math (number dyslexia maybe? i cannot even keep numbers straight during simple addition or subtraction, i need a calculator to do any kind of multiplication or division) to 'lrn2code', i have involuntary psycho-physical responses to social situations (my face and hands get tingly and numb), i'm too ugly to be a youtuber or streamer (i have had bad acne that doesn't go away even though i wash all the time and have tried several treatments, for my entire life, even now into my 30s), and i've just given up on ever making any money with art since i can't force myself to bother creating anything even though i have more free time than anyone could possibly ever need - it's just a draining psychodrama of self-worth and failure. I am already exhausted, i am at my absolute wit's end just trying to 'tread water' in my failperson life arc, it's already nearly impossible for me to pretend like i'm not constantly thinking about suicide so that those around me aren't disturbed or upset. and then my dad uses every chance he gets to shoehorn 'get a job' into conversations and its like 'i am fully aware of how fucked i am and am doing my best to not panic as i ride the conveyor belt to poverty and shortly thereafter death, the amount of times i have been lectured is not the primary obstacle to me finding stable employment' and i'm still better off than like 90% of people because i have a less-toxic-than-average family that doesn't charge me rent (yet) so i feel like a douchebag for even bothering to process my experiences while people out there get genocided and forced into agricultural slave labor and mining at gunpoint. don't even get me started on how impossible it is to even consider any kind of relationship or romance in this context, even if there were people interested in me (which there will never be as i am apparently the Least Relatable Person Ever), i would have no 'space' for them, i would only be a mental and emotional drain on others.

Could you use a digital avatar?

In all honesty you probably need the help of some medical that will help with the anxiety and panic attacks. It might take a few tries to find the right pills and right doses but those thoughts and feelings should go away.

Decent jobs to look for are staff at medical or other professional businesses. Think accountants and lawyers. The pay is decent, the hours are mostly normal, and the environment is clean. Good luck. One day at a time.

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
