Hi all, im posting on this as a last resort for help. I dont know what to do anymore in regards to my work life, I've been depressed and had severe anxiety for about 4/5 years now and I've been in and out of jobs since then, some I have quit because i couldn't deal with people or some I have been let go because of my attitude or lack of interest. I dont argue with people in all cases I just struggle talking to people unless it's people I've known for years. I have social anxiety outside of work but i can deal with it and have a decent social life, great group of friends and the best girlfriend I could ask for who I've been with nearly 8 years so she completely understands my situation and supports me as much as she can. My issue is trying to find a job that I can actually hold down and enjoy but my difficulty is that I dont like dealing with people but i dont want a job where you're stuck in a warehouse or doing something boring. I know beggars cant be choosers but I'm sick of feeling this way and i have things I need to pay out for so i cant afford to be out of work (which i currently am). This has at times made me feel suicidal but i dont think I could bring myself to do something like that, main reason being I couldn't leave my girlfriend behind as I know she adores me and likewise I adore her. Just need some kind of suggestion as to where I can head in my life as I struggle to do it without guidance. I have also been on all sorts of medication and have completed cognitive behavioural therapy which haven't changed my outlook or the way I feel whatsoever. Someone please give me some idea what i can do 😔😔

Hello & Welcome, Malman95.
An internet search on "jobs for those who dislike people" might give you a few starting ideas. Locally, a strong need for such jobs may have moved potential employers to train the interested regardless of background. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) did not help me in any practical way.

Welcome, @Malman95! Rihag has already gave you some WONDERFUL suggestions about using Google to look up some Jobs that don't require you to deal with large amounts of people. Of course your choice is going to be limited if you also want to do something meaningful for You. My advice would be to keep looking and, if you can't find anything that interests you, pick up the next best Job that you can get among the available ones. At the very least, you'll make some money and you won't be out of a Job. While you Work you can always keep an eye out for new opportunities when they will show up. Find a Job is certainlty NOT easy! I am so sorry you're struggling SO MUCH!
 Please do keep trying though! I hope you'll find what you're looking for! KEEP FIGHTING AND KEEP ROCKING!     Feel free to PM me ANYTIME when you need Advice and Support! We're ALL here to HELP YOU OUT! I am SURE plenty of others will also GLADLY HELP YOU OUT AS WELL IF YOU JUST ASK FOR HELP!  Sending many safe, warm hugs to BOTH You, @Malman95, Your Girlfriend, Your Family, Your Friends And ALL Of Your Loved Ones! Please do keep fighting and please do keep rocking as much as you possibly can like you're already WONDERFULLY doing ALL and ENTIRELY by YOURSELF and ALL and ENTIRELY BY YOUR OWN!

Welcome to Psych Central, Malman.
 I don't know as there are any particular suggestions I can offer. However I thought I would mention there is a publishing company in the U.S. that offers materials related to effective job search techniques, vocational interests, & other similar materials. (I don't know how relevant this will be to you since you're in the U.K. However, if this isn't relevant, perhaps you can find similar materials that are published in the U.K.) Here's a link to Paradigm Publishing's career development offerings: Career Exploration - Career Development - Browse Products | Paradigm Education Solutions Store I hope you find PC to be of benefit.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
