I feel like a total loser. I feel unlikeable and unworthy. I feel like I’m stupid and unable to do anything right.

I’m avoiding working because I’m afraid I’ll fail at even the easiest jobs. I’m avoiding making new friends because I don’t want rejection.

I’m working on my issues in individual and group therapy - literally just got started.

I need support from my husband and friend and I need to know when I’m actually doing something right for once.

I hope the individual and group therapy will help.

At least you’re working on yourself.

I don’t work either, but I don’t feel like a loser because of that.

You should get a job coach!
It takes some of the stress out of it.

Does a job coach help you improve your personality? What exactly do they do?

  1. Thoughts of taken a wrong route and been bad in the past and inconsistent.
  2. Mentally disturbed, disillusioned and confused as to how to lead the life.
  3. I am avoiding taking up challenges and daring to learn more than what I used to.
  4. Stick to a healthy diet, do some exercise to both body and mind. Avoid fights.
  5. I need lots and lots of luck, love from loved ones and deep relaxation.

I’ve only talked to my case manager about it but I believe that what they do is that they help you find exactly the type of job that you can perform at given your credentials and your behaviorisms

They have to work to find you a job thst you can do as a disabled. And cant stop till they find something!

  • I am preoccupied with finding a new place to live (with my mom), and packing/cleaning.

  • I am feeling stressed, uncertain, off-balance, worried.

  • I am avoiding, hmmm… Answering this question :sweat_smile:.

  • One thing I can do to improve my mental health is take breaks, and continue to pack and clean in an organized fashion.

  • I need to know where we will be living. That would help big-time.

Here job coaches just push you to work or study.

They keep pushing until your pdoc says you can’t work/study anymore.

Thanks for the link @FreeLunch . I just talked to my friend about Michigan Rehabilitation Services and she said they get people jobs for half of minimum wage. In the US, you can pay disabled people half of minimum wage legally. I’ll have to think about whether or not they’re worth my time if that’s what they’re going to do. Have you used them before?

I use something similar called vocational rehabilitation

It varies state by state.

What I see you doing well/right is being a good communicator and providing good support to other members here on the forum :slight_smile:
