I am trying to look for a job but I know I can't deal with stress. I know this is a problem for me. What can I do?

I wish I knew how to handle stress myself. If someone on here knows how I wish they would share it with us. Here's a big hug for you.

All I can think of to help you maybe it may
be a good idea if you can't handle stress to
apply for Social Security Disability.

If you are under a Drs. care maybe he can help
fill out the forms for Social Security Disability. That is what I would do, and if you
are turned down appeal it. I know it takes a long time to find out after you apply if you are going to get it. Best Wishes, lori

I can't either. The stress of moving drove me mad. I ended up sinking into a mixed episode over the summer and came very close to offing myself.

I suppose the only thing you can do is take each thing as it comes and give yourself a break if and when it gets too much.
