Do you have any ideas what you’d like to work in

Have you thought about working in a daycare? They have lots of jobs in US for them. Might be different there.

Like supporting elderly people
It only works with a vehicle for door to door.

And in care homes I can’t survive. I don’t know how to socialise there with the staff and elderly. Especially in the communal rooms which takes up a large part of the job too.

Plus it’s really emotionally taxing on me and I already have ‘mild’ depression due to anxiety, no friends etc

25

OK I have 1 friend but I find it hard to be myself around him.

26

And I feel a bit uncertain about the friendship because I feel not good enough for him in the long run. It’s a bit messed up.

27

If I had a friend where I felt free to be me and still liked that would help my mood.

Do you think its difficult to find people kind enough? What’s stopping you or creating the worry?

IDK about your country but here where I live a lot of temp jobs turn into permanent jobs. If you do a temp job for a month or two and they like your work then it often turns into a permanent position. A temp job is a good way to get in the door. Plus even if you get a temp job it’s good to have money coming in while you’re searching for a permanent position somewhere else.

And like my dad said, he can do any job for two months. If you get a temp job and it’s hard at least you know you only have to stick it out for a month or two.

It’s hard to explain why I struggle with friendships on a public forum. But the struggle is real. I just feel ‘boring’ and, or shy.

How about you, do you cope well with forming irl friends?

Not at all. My voices thwart me for the most part. Thought transference delusions etc.

That’s true. Thankyou Nick. 77.

I only recently started applying for cleaning jobs because I feel my back is in better shape now hopefully. So if I can’t get a permanent role, I will look into temp.

It would be nice to have friends but it’s been so long that I barely remember what to miss about hanging out. I’m just a loner now.

But you have your lady friend at least and hopefully some family members that you get on with.

:slight_smile: that’s good if that’s the case.

Yeah :+1: I just know it will be some time before my positives are gone. Hopefully I can make friends then.
