jerim... that's GREAT to hear. Take it one day at a time, one step at a time. Sure you may feel terrified while on a bus full of people, but always remember that each day you do it, it's another day of conquering your fears. Seems like you're doing super great thus far, and this is DEFINITELY a positive step forward! Keep it up! Very Happy

Yes, I was thinking of quiting school because i went through a not so good period, but after 3 weeks of staying home i went back...feel better now, I mean I'm not on the verge of going nuts and attempting suicide.

But i'll see how much I can resist going there. I'm thinking about my future job with terror cause I know that I'll need to collaborate with people to do it wright. Confused

I dropped out of high school because of my anxiety and I've never worked. My therapist told me about getting SSI because I was mentally disabled. What I do at home is I'm presently working on my first novel, which has been very theraputic for me.

Don't be disappointed in yourself, you were brave to tell your boss about your situation, brave to take a long bus ride... maybe it just wasn't the right job for you also. But you know you have it in you to try again!

I've been through quite a few jobs and am (finally) at a good one. Social anxiety is always an issue, but being at a job where you feel trapped just makes it worse. There are positive working environments and co-workers, hang in there!

I havnt been working since June of last year. I feel like crap seeing my friends tackle those jobs like its cake. Working at Best Buy, doing sales, or waiting tables. I used to work at a bunch of food stores and when I was 14 at a public library.

Upside is there are soo many jobs out there to choose from its where your comfort level is, in which you can work. Currently im Trading stocks from home while going to college but there are boat loads of at home jobs you can do, God Bless the Interent!
