My financies are a mess. All though my Doctor disagrees with me about going back to work what can I do my long term diability will end soon. I realized out in the world doing things the longest I last with out switching or having a panic attack is 2 hour.What kind of job will allow 2 hours a day? I wouldn't mind working with animals not people.I pray every day for God to open the door for me to work a little.I'mreally scared! I'vebeenout of work for two years. I still have problems leaving my house. I wish the Government had mor insight to what it is like to live with PTSD or DID. Our Government is so messed up they give money to the drug dealers to live on welfare but they do not have enough support for those of us who are working our butts off to get better and get back to society. We need an advocate Lord! We go into hospital so we make sure we do not kill ourselves that day and we are treated like criminals and imbisoles with little or no help with our issues. Where does the insanity end?

Hi Jessica,

I am sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time. What types of treatment have you had for the PTSD? Do you find it helpful or not?

Hi Jessica-

I understand where you are coming from. That is a tough position to be in. I was in it too not that long ago. Know you are not alone and hopefully something will change for your benefit soon.

I know how you feel. I may have to go back to work and some days I can hardly leave the house. I also agree with the disability, no one would really want to hire us if they knew that any time we might have an anxiety attack? Plus I cant go far from home and I live out in the country, not many options. I too am tired of the stimatism that goes along with mental issues. Keep your chin up. Lean on the Lord, praying for you.

I agree, the government and society at large does not have enough sympathy and compassion for people with mental problems. You deserve help more than many of the people on welfare who don't care.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! I'm praying that God would work things out! I'm gonna have to do more research.

here is a link to a company called RGIS. they do inventory for many different companies like drug stores, retail stores etc..I was at one of their offices a couple of months ago and they told me that they are always looking for good, reliable people. they said the part time work is at night usually either after stores close or when they are less busy. You could potentially work a few hours at night and be by yourself. they told me that the night time work is usually solo/independent. The day time shifts are full time where you go out with a team of people. Maybe you could give it a try if they are hiring in your area. working alone doing something repetitive might be boring but at least you would not have to deal with others. It would get you out of the house but you would not have to deal much with others, if at all.
