I want to give up :/

mark123

Right now im working part time, but for me, its hell. For me, its not a stable job. I work odd hours and different days. I feel like I can never plan anything because i'll be called into work.

I've tried to hard applying for jobs but its not getting me anywhere. I can't even do interviews. I know I can work, thats not a problem.
I think people are put off by me in interviews.

I've emailed a few places who help disbaled people get into work. But most of them just give me links on where to look for work or say they can only help with part time jobs.

I feel like im not going to get anywhere in life. I just need a full time job so I can start living, I feel trapped. I don't even feel like an adult.
I love my parents, but I need to move out. I need my own place/space.
My depression is getting worse because of it. 

Is there any place in Essex/London which can help me with this, get me into full time work?

  • I'm in the same position as you, but i am a jobseeker and only been in short unpaid work experience placements that have been referred by the jobcentre and not by my doing, i've only ever landed a full time job in a warehouse which was not suitable at all for my level of fitness. I'd consider self-employment but my family says I have nothing to use, plus I have budgeting problems as well as a gambling addiction which is hard to get rid of; plus none of my family would be willing to pay towards whatever venture/investment I care to start. The only skill I have is computers and the IT industry for self-employment is pretty much something that has either been computerised or not in demand any more. There are coding websites online that people want solutions to, where you would use your spare time at home doing coding in whatever language you please and give the source code or working program back and they would pay you for it, not that much money but it depends how much time and knowledge you want to put in.

    If you want more advice i'd suggest going to a forum like wrongplanet.net (US-based) where there are many other people on the spectrum willing to talk about their experiences in jobs.
