I´m on sick leave (not from a job, it´s called sick leave here anyway) because of anxiety and I´ve been on sick leave for only two months but unemployed for several years. I know I won´t get a job I can keep after such a long unemployment.

The jobs that are offered I could perhaps keep for a few months but then I would get worse and just leave. I know because I´ve had several trainee jobs on a quite low level and everyday I just wanted the day to pass so I could go home.

I don´t even dare trying to apply for a job and I sought therapy for that and for several other problems but the therapy ended because of things that happened between me and my therapist.

What´s offered to people with many years of unemployment are activities that would only make me feel worse. I have university degrees and experience from several areas but as I lack longer employments I don´t have a chance to get a qualified job. I just stay this way day in and day out and I just feel more and more despair. I´m 30+ years old.

Are someone in a similar situation?

hello. I have been unable to work since August due to mental illnesses and physical illnesses. I have had to file for disability due to my Psych saying it will never get any better than it is right now. While I don't have your education, I did have a well paying steady job. No longer. Now I'm waiting to see how the whole filing for disability thing works out. Everyone says it can take years with several denials before getting approved.
Is disability an option for you? The only person who knows what you can do and can't do is you. Wishing you all the best.
