Remote / Online jobs? Social anxiety

5 replies

Mummyoftwokids · 19/05/2023 09:17

I have social anxiety and it affects me in a variety of ways. Today I have an interview for a local job and I am so scared.. that I have decided I can’t go. I will email them and ask them to withdraw my application.

Anyway, I check indeed all the time and apply for remote jobs but I’m not getting anything. There’s so many people after them.

Have you any other ideas of where I can try? I currently do work about 10 hours a week for a remote job but it’s not enough financially.

Wish I didn’t have anxiety but I do and it’s a constant obstacle. Any help please?

What have you tried so far to deal with the social anxiety?

Been on antidepressants for 12 years. Too nervous to go to therapy - because of the anxiety. Vicious circle or what.

It’s like people will discover the real me and see I’m not actually capable. That sometimes I struggle with instructions and doubt myself.

I have an ADHD consultation in a few months

Have a look at this guide to core beliefs - the way we think about ourselves, others and the wider world - and see if it helps you better understand yourself;
