CRON 06/04/22 4:18:40 PM #8:	Solid Snake07 posted... You cant find any job? The last job I had was in fast food and it lasted three days after I received no training whatsoever and was repeatedly scolded for not knowing how to do certain things. I've been looking on Indeed nonstop and a majority of the listings are for temp agencies; one of which screwed me over and strung me along for a while, last year. I used to be on UpWork but that's a scam. I applied to an entry level "graphic design" job in the area and despite having used Photoshop and Illustrator for well over a decade, the interviewer basically told me that they can only trust people with professional experience. <cite>CRON posted [p:965544288] in It sucks h...

Cannot find a job to save my life, even after fluffing up my resume and having a natural knack for doing well on interviews Yeah, I feel this too. It sucks. My only possible suggestion is to get some kind of cheap certification / bootcamp and use that to get a job. CRON posted... Cannot afford a car, while also being a very bad, anxious driver This also sucks, do you live in a town or city? Is a car absolutely necessary for you to go anywhere? CRON posted... Can't afford insurance; in significant need of general, mental and dental healthcare which would only put me in more debt that I'll likely never be able to pay off Why can't you get Medicaid? Does your job put you over the threshold or something? But you say you can't find a job, which makes me think you don't have one. CRON posted... Living in an extremely expensive part of the country that I cannot afford to relocate myself away from This makes me think even more that you could get Medicaid...? CRON posted... Mental health issues that cannot be treated as I cannot afford insurance There may be free clinics. They aren't ideal, I know, but they are definitely better than nothing and can at least give you someone to bounce your thoughts off of. They may also be able to direct you to resources that you can use to improve your life. CRON posted... No support system whatsoever Another good reason to seek out social services or free clinics.

Hopefully I'm not being too intrusive. I don't have social anxiety, which makes my anxiety difficult to treat. I don't like saying good things about myself because it makes me feel like I'm egotistical, but I'm fine, socially. I've just never had any good social experiences, and what little friends I've made in life have ended up treating me terribly.

Which may be true to an extent but unless youre just completely disabled you have agency for yourself. Anybody who doesnt have a serious physical or mental disability can find a job. Even if its not a great job any job is a step up from no job, which is where youre at right now.
