Feeling trapped at work

I feel trapped in my job and I don't know what to do. I'm not a confident job changer, I've always found interviews hard and have only been offered the jobs that I've had.

I'm 38 with a young DS and a mortgage, DH earns more but I can't afford a drop on wages.

I've worked for this small business for 10 years and done most things there that have anything to do with admin, I had 12 great months assisting the sales director but he moved on and I got shuffled in to being an Account Manager as I was doing a lot of it under the sales director. I hate it though, I don't know how to be proactive with it and targets just make me feel queasy.

I don't actually think I'm good at anything though so how can I expect anyone else to employ me. I just want to be retired, furlough was amazing - I wish I didn't have to work

You must be pretty good at a number of things if you've been with your current employers for 10 years and have experience in a number of roles. Why not just try an application or two and see how they go? You have nothing to lose and plenty to gain.
