Finding a job
csi_greg asked:


I have been diagnosed with severe social phobia and social anxiety. I have been off medication and therapy for about three months now, but it started getting worse right after it started getting better. Now I can’t physically, emotionally, or mentally hold a full-time job, which is the amount of money I need to keep my apartment. Is there anything out there that will help me find a full-time job I can handle or at least get me some kind of disability money so that I could work part-time until I am able to work full-time?

    I don’t know what your skills are but start by looking at those. How does the social phobia effect you physically? Data entry or other types of clerial work are a possibility. Try going to a temp. agency and telling them the kind of work you are looking for. Once therapy has started to help you won’t have to restrict yourself as much.

    Get a note from the doctor that says you are being treated for an illness and that you will be out of work for a period of time. Then call up TDI (temporary disability insurance) and file a claim.
