Can't work

Tina

I'm disappointed in myself for being so poorly equipped and incapable of dealing with life. 

I had a job interview, I just got through it, and they agreed to give me a trial morning. The trial went horrible. My anxiety caused attacks, I got overwhelmed and had several meltdowns and a seizure. I ended up going home early, a sad wreck.. they have been in touch and won't be giving me the position because it's not a role I'm suited to.

I'm never going to work. I don't see me being able to overcome the hurdles in my life because it's a constant battle against me. And I can't fight myself.

    Thing is too, that it’s also a “catch 22” in that those jobs that are suitable/ideal for autism require qualifications and/or relevant experience that one does not have, say from 30 years in supermarket retailing - working in a new build hotel after 17 years in one supermarket (aside from 3 years not working due to Covid and after redundancy) was a hugely unsettling experience, especially with no post-diagnostic supports in place
