wish i could help, goin though the same shit...

There have been many threads on this topic; unfortunately there is no search function here. The only generalizations arrived at were self-employment and avoiding people. It's always good to focus on what tasks you enjoy doing and do well, then to see what paying work requires them. I am sorry this has affected your ability to think and to analyze; I have not had the same result.

I worked as a nurse. Have been out of work for almost a year now. I've been contemplating what to do myself.

I work as a tape operatior managing a tape libary. the up side is you cant get into the field as a temp. it is job that requires lots of security. so I work in a big room all buy myself. doing my own thing at my owne pase all the people I deal with and there arnt many i deal with them through email. you have to have a badge to get into my work eara i dont have to leave except when I have to pee or go to lunch or not

Sorry I ment can as a temp

i am a teacher and have decided that i can no longer do that. so after this year is over i will be looking for something else. i want to get my MA in addiction counseling/counseling and work in a treatment center or something. at least i'll feel at home :)

seriously...i want to help people who are like me. i think only those who have lived it are qualified to help those going through it. does that make sense?

It is so different for us. All of us can deal with different things. I work in the mortgage business and seem to be able to make it through each day with out thinking I am goint to lose it. It keeps my mind busy for eight hours.

thx everyone. I would also would like to help others with this condition as pdocs and therapists just do not seem to get it. But even that may stress me... Being around people and all.

I would like to work at home with some type of business, even if it is data entry. That way I can take breaks as necessary.

I'm in the same postion..let me hear from you if you come up with something..
I'm trying to think of something i could make at home that i could sell..some kind of craft etc let me know if you or anyone else has any ideas

You have asked a question that continually comes up over and over. No one seems to have the answer, which is not very supportive to those of us who desperately need one. I hope we all find something and let others know.

I'm volunteering part-time for a small computer company. I'm a computer programmer. I only work 4 hours a day 4 days a week. I only program non critical stuff. I work on my own at my own pace. But in the office. It's a special arrangement with the manager. If I'm ill I email in to let them know I won't be in.
It's given me the opportunity to see how I function in the work place. There is no-way I can fully function in an office environment. This keeps me busy, but doesn't pay the bills.

You need to find out what you are capable of. Try something out, volunteer work puts something on your Resume. Try doing stuff part-time if possible.

Well, im making major lifestyle changes in my life including the people I hang around. Maybe ask yourself if there is anything you need to change?

I was a teacher. Quit 2 years ago. Living on SSDI, or should I say existing? I would like to work from home on the computer--do not like being around people. PROBLRM---can one really trust any of the "work at home" deals offered on the web? How do you know who to trust? I could not deal with being scammed.

yikes...this doesn't sound good, i am having issues at my job...concentrating...freaking me out.
