Let’s face it. I’ve started and quit multiple jobs. I don’t want that to be the case for the rest of my life but…maybe temp jobs are the best way forward for me

Yes but I also crave the stability. It’s not easy going from one interview into the next. Its really exhausting.

I think with your autism, you will have to think about how to stress manage and social skills. I think that is a major boundary for those of us with schiz and autism too.
For example, much of our work related stress maybe actually due to people skills.

I get extremely emotionally dysregulated when I work full time. My work becomes my entire world. I go home and all I do is think about whether or not I presented myself ok whether I said something I shouldn’t have whether they like me or not…and all I will do is cry myself to sleep after the day is over … Working part time helps somewhat and gives me a chance to recuperate but it’s hard.

Same here, last job I quit was because someone looked at me a little funny and I took it to mean they hated me lol. No word of a lie, genuinely made me quit

I wish my last attempt at a career worked out, because academics don’t have to spend as much time with people as business grads do.
I’m kinda at a loss atm as to what to pursue/try.

after trying to take my life after failing at my return to my career as a residential designer…I resigned my poor concentration (can’t read at length in books, I listen to audio books now). and lack of ability to stay in one place longer than five mins…the reasons why I cannot work…I volunteer…are you just not wanting to go on disability? I don’t understand why you have to work when it’s so very hard on you? @anon25873142

Because not working doesn’t bring home enough for me to live on @jukebox, especially in London.
Also I’m on disability getting £400 a month and also there is uc but it’s not enough I know I should be grateful though but I can’t move out on that
I totally agree @MisterApple .
I think my problem with work is mainly people skills of feeling like people walk all over me and disrespect me or are abusive etc

Yes I was until they told me it wasn’t free. Then I backed out the same day. I guess I wasn’t serious.
