I want to give up :/

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?

  • Hi Mark,

    I'm not working at the moment and was diagnosed with Asperger's last year.  I have struggled in the workplace from the word go.  But I have took time out and have become involved in a volunteer project to boost my web development skills.  I really value Coogy's advice and if you fancy being self-employed - go for it.  The world is your oyster and you can work from home or library.  I used to work freelance and often worked from the library when I lived with my parents at the time.   Definately contact your local NAS hub to speak to an advisor about employment and autism friendly employers.  If you live close to London, and have IT skills, contact a company called Specialisterne - http://uk.specialisterne.com/ - they specialise in IT jobs for people in the autistic spectrum.  I hope this helps.   I am applying for jobs just now.  I wish you all the best.
