Working in a kitchen//serving food is too fast paced/high pressure and overwhelming for me. I can't handle the stress and get sick with anxiety just thinking about it. So I'll give it a try again in the late spring. Im the mean time I'm just going to get to low pressure social stuff, work on my anxiety, and focus on doing well in college till I'm ready to give it a try again.

Birdie, food service is notoriously extremely fast-paced, high-pressured, and just plain hard on mind and body. A major reason I was approved for SSDI was because my "regular line of employment" or whatever they call it was cafe work. i.e., food service basically. Someone who works in food service and applies for disability is already high as far as points toward being approved.

I agree with your care manager on this one. Low pressure and practiced calming so you can enter class in January feeling peaceful and ready.
