Hi everyone just looking for ideas on what to do. I'm currently enrolled on a GCSE maths course (having failed it back at school) and I'm starting to think ahead to my next step. Originally I was going to do an access course and then go on to uni, I was thinking of some sort of psychology degree (as I'm very interested in psychology/sociology/criminology) but I have serious doubts about my ability to get and/or do a job within that field (as well as doubts about being intelligent enough).
For background, I haven't worked since my early 20's (I'm late 30's now) so don't have a lot of work experience. I've volunteered for various places over the years but struggled due to my ASD, which is what's making me have doubts about my preferred field. I have quite bad social anxiety so will struggle in any job around other people /meeting new people. In my last job all those years ago I ended up signed off for a long time because the social expectations of the office made me ill, the work was a doddle (I worked in accountancy).
Sorry I'm rambling, I'm just at a complete loss as to what to do, in a perfect world I would work from home doing something that didn't involve people but I can't think of anything that I would be qualified for (I only have a few GCSE's) or could even gain qualifications in. I saw something about coding being something you could do from home but I know it will cause meltdowns as a few years ago when I was making websites for free for people I would get so overwhelmed when there was an error and I had to spend what seemed like hours skimming through code trying to figure out what had gone wrong, I don't know if I could do that again without making myself ill. I just feel like a complete failure in life, I want to work but can't see any options because who would hire someone like me.
