Stress & Finding a Job

Inglewood

I finished working for a retail comapny at the end of last year, through stress and I have been diagnosed with Aspergers.  I had an interview with a work placement, but when I got there I struggled to get out of the car, and once I did I got to meet my initial employment services contact (not through NAS).  I got into the building, but told them I couldn't go through with it and left.

Has anybody else had similar experiences?

I have another different interview tomorow afternoon, and don't know how I will feel?

I just feel so stressed at the moment.

Any thoughts anybody?

  • I'm sorry that I'm about to hijack the OP's thread, but recombinantsocks, I NEVER had a dream of being content and at ease, I was suicidal at 11 years old and have been depressed ever since, but there used to be a tiny flame of hope that one day it would be different. I no longer believe that. The more I've struggled the more I've realised it is impossible. There are no positive facits to my being autistic. I don't have any degree of savantism or any intellectual part of ASD that might be useable in a work situation. There's just me wallowing in a pit of quicksand.
