Hmm. . .

How Do You ā€œholdā€ A Job?.

Isnā€™t That Impossible?.

I Mean That One Actress Does Say That The Word Impossible Itself Says, ā€˜Iā€™m Possibleā€™.

But!, Still.

You Canā€™t Really Hold It.

Okokok,

Antipsychotics Are Important.

And So Are Jobs.

Which Is Good For The Economy.

And!, Traditional Family Life In The Nature Of Hope, Love, And Peace.

In Which A Stable Environment, Within The Structure Of Coexistence Can Bring Joy.

Aripriprazole also but 20 mg :upside_down_face: and a couple more but the Main goal is to function and maybe even quit them later on

How was your first working day?

Iā€™ve wanted to do data entry for a while now

It is really difficult to get that job here in the uk

Unless Iā€™m applying for temp positions

@Here4You

I thought data entry would be a good job too. I did data entry for a while as port of an old job, I didnā€™t enjoy it. I would sit at the computer entering all this information into a convoluted program. My back and neck would start to hurt sitting at the chair for long periods of time. I learned it wasnā€™t for me.

Yea thatā€™s the only way to find out is to try it.

I just would love to try it.

But hmm dunno if Iā€™ll ever get that job.

Itā€™s kinda a way to get into office work thatā€™s the thing.

I wanna be in an office.

Idk

Itā€™s so hard finding a job when you are very shy person like me

Based on some of the things youā€™ve said on this forum, you donā€™t come across as shy at all. You come across as very open and friendly, but maybe a forum is different that real life.

Thankyou.

But yea itā€™s all an act!!

Idk, I think you are right, sitting behind a keyboard is different to meeting people in real life.

Even in real life I can sometimes come across as not so shy necessarilyā€¦ Cos Iā€™m masking my anxiety.

Depends on whom Iā€™m around aswell.

Anyways enough about me :sweat_smile:

Looks like you are suspended once again

Iā€™m beginning to miss Reading your posts.

Stop being naughty on the forum!

:grin:

I have heard that some people work as a temp and later get promoted to permanent. It may take a few months or even a year. The employer eventually decides they want to keep you because you are a good worker.
I will tell you that if the data entry is somewhat complicated it can take a while to learn and that could make for anxiety. It did for me. There are perhaps 25 steps, and there are rules.
No job is going to have everything and I had to be realistic. I recommend it.
Getting a job takes a swing of luck. I hope you can get that lucky break.
Do you have any mental health team that helps with getting a job? That helped me.
It took me a year and a half to find my job.

I donā€™t have any mental health team anymore. Thanks for sharing your experience though.

I personally donā€™t feel comfortable with applying for temp jobs cos there is so much pressure to then try to secure something once itā€™s over if I donā€™t get it permanently
