Just been fired. AIBU to think I'm missing something mentally that lets people work?

[IdiotGirl17]

I'm just shit at every job I try. Largely I think due to anxiety and dyspraxia. I can read something 100 times and not get it, won't even remember what it said in the previous sentence. I lose all confidence and faith in my ability to write even a simple email, and have to check facts in what I'm writing 20 or 30 times before I send it. Obviously all this makes me very slow so I keep pissing people off and getting let go.

Feeling very lost after starting off this morning feeling optimistic that I'd try to get better and improve. I don't know what to do. It seems like I will never not be poor, because I am a complete fuck up when it comes to work. I try so hard and mess up time and time again.

Hi OP. I have anxiety and dyspraxia too (and I suspect autism, but that's another story), and I am an artist. I work with my hands all day and am, I suppose, reasonably successful in my line of work. If I had a job where I had to perform any kind of office work, I would be in real trouble. I agree with previous posters that it would do you well to revaluate your job choices and pursue something that doesn't require so much executive function (mine is very very poor and I struggle with keeping my house and finances in order) I would also like to say that you are clearly not idiotic despite your username, and you should really hold yourself in higher esteem, as it is incredibly difficult to do day-to-day self care with executive function and coordination difficulties. So anything at all on top of that is an achievement. Be kinder to yourself

I thought I'd mention also, that a few people I have spoken to online have said that their child's occupational therapist has dyspraxia and that's what led them to go into that line of work.
