so I am trying with all my hear to get a new job, so I can live outside of my mother's house and break my dependent personality disorder.

but however for me with all the disorders I have.....(mostly my ADD, Rapid cycle bipolar and borderline personality disorder)

as well as my huge lack of work experience its proving a huge challenge. I just keep filling out apps. But its hard not have it all get to me....

and have it effect my depression poorly.

I know I am doing everything I can but its hard not to have this bring me down.

I know what you mean, kala83. You can't get a job because you have no experience, and you can't get experience because nobody will give you a job. Some people are able to break this cycle by volunteering in areas that they think they would like to work in--or even doing some kind of internship. There would not likely be any pay, but you could have something to put on a resume anyway. One idea, anyway.
Thanks for this!

Have you tried going through an employment agency or vocational rehab? They can be really helpful. Good luck! I'm looking for a job too. I don't have trouble finding a job usually, it's keeping the job that's my problem.

I am trying to work with some temp agencies and I am connected with the local voc rehab so that is at least something. I just might have to broaden my sights on what I a looking for as far as job.

I do like PAYNE1's suggestion for some volunteer work. Even if you find something, that wouldn't be the hours of any type of employment that you are seeking, it's a great way to network. Get's you out, meeting others, who may know other's who know other's who then mention you, and voila, you become a person behind that resume!
