Agoraphobic/paranoid/bipolar. How do I get a job and just work enough to have a car and 1br apartment? I’m sick of being around people. I just want to be able to work then go home to an apartment and not bother anyone.

overcome your social anxiety

If you cant leave your home how are you supposed to use a car lol dumbass

Any advice on how? I used to be an extrovert until my diagnoses got bad and my health went down hill. Eventually I started covering my doors and windows because I felt watched. I’ve started taking walks around the city during the day and night, but been being out a few hours is exhausting.

Those are symptoms of ptsd. If u had real diagnosis maybe u could start fixing your problems.

Have u tried crying?

That’s also part of the problem. I can force myself to get out if I take my meds, but they also make me tired and a lot of the time I honestly can’t work or drive either from my fear of a panic attack or the drowsiness from the meds.

I do have a diagnosis. I’m diagnosed as bipolar type 1. I currently do 9 hours of group therapy, but I’m not sure it’s doing much for me.

Nah. Last time I cried was when my cat died.

Throw garbage into other people's yards

Now you my friend should join the Doomer Community

*Highway litter cleanup.
* 3rd shifts at warehouses.

Have you actually been clinically diagnosed or are you some larping faggot attention whore?

Drink. Go to a Korean store and buy flavored soju. Look at kpop star instagram accounts and listen to kpop. It makes me happy and helps. I’m 29 and needed a way to escape. Also get an asian gf and eat her pussy. Works for me user. Other people will say you’re a faggot but it doesn’t matter. You’ll be happier. Who the fuck cares what other people think; they’re losers in their own ways too. Anyone who comments on Yea Forums is a loser in one way or another. I know I am and I don’t mind.

These don’t sound too bad actually

we think alike.
your own happiness is all that matters in this world
the guy who calls you a loser goes home and eats his own shit for pleasure
world is a joke lol

Clinically diagnose as bipolar I. Not shitposting. I could collect disability, but I want a normal-ish life. I genuinely need advice from other people and those who have the same/similar condition about what kinds of jobs work with this shit. It basically hit me like a truck in my earlier 20’s and I’ve never been able to pick up the pieces. I’m 25 now.

I actually quit drinking. I don’t want it mixing with my medication. Thanks for the advice though.

Talk to a real shrink about these issues and not Yea Forums is my suggestion.

I’m actually on the wait list for 1 on 1 therapy. I’ve been doing 9 hours of group therapy a week for the past 3 weeks. The wait list for 1 on 1 is like longer than a month. It’s actually insanely difficult to get mental health treatment with no insurance.

>It’s actually insanely difficult to get mental health treatment with no insurance.

Yeah I'm in the same boat. 1 on 1 is the only way to go though. I barely made it through one group session in my entire life because of my contempt for the other whackos present.

I would smoke weed. If you can, get a vape pen, and before you go out have a meal with starches for energy, drink some water to stay hydrated, and go out somewhere on foot. If you don't want to deal with people, go to the library and chill out and read something interesting. If you make it a habit, you won't be so tired from it. This should relax you and get you used to being outside. For the job, try a staffing agency. The jobs suck ass but they can come and go easy so if you fuck up or hate it, you just ask for a different assignment. they drug test sometimes, so before going don't smoke for a bout a week. As far as jobs you can do and go home, security is that. Nobody bothers you and you kind of walk around all night/day. old mofos work those jobs too, so they aren't looking for physical ability as much as maturity. Also good is overnight stocking, and in the right areas, even hotel night audit. Customers piss me off so audit didn't last but a few years for me before I went to overnight janitorial. I feel you user, but you can do this. You're not alone.

Same. The groups I’m in now have people that are hard to be about. Some people with BPD who lie a lot, people who talk over each other constantly, and people who are a very different kind of mentally ill than I am. It’s hard to talk about shit in groups or make any progress because being around those people is exhausting. I hope the referral goes through soon and he hospital gives me free care so I can see someone for 1 on 1.

No you goddamn fucking retard do not go telling someone with an unstable brain chemistry to go self-medicating with pot. Marijuana is not a panacea you dumb stoners.

3rd shift at warehouses is hard work with dickhead management, just like factory. Fuck that imo.

you dont want to be alone trust me. its not as great as you think

Weed was making me paranoid for a while, but maybe I should try it again. Thanks for the advice. That’s funny you mention security because I actually just applied for work with a security company a few weeks ago. Glad to know other anons think the same way I do.

>drugs are bad
>"medicine" is fine
>You're not qualified to try different things to improve your life or overcome obstacles in your own human experience.
Yeah, totally listen to this guy. lol.

How can it do anything for you when ur trying to treat a symptom. Why did u come here for advice just to reject advice?

Suicide is the best option. Just hang yourself

I'm in a similar boat.
You need at least $12/hr, full time job. Go data entry if you can. Spend time learning how to make things: i.e. soap, new recipes, etc. Live as a minimalist, the visual noise is going to go away. Get a pet when you feel more grounded, get tuxedo cat. Fat ones are always nice.
Professional help is expensive, and drugs don't do what oxytocin and less cytokine production can. Your diet and activities will get you those 2 things. Good luck.

Do some emdr. And when that stops working try growing some shrooms

Hell yeah. If you don't smoke too much and take care of your diet and exercise, fresh air, that good stuff, and go into things with an optimistic mindset, it shouldn't hurt you. My wife smokes, I used to smoke to get drunker, but I don't drink or smoke now. I have an anxiety problem, so when I get especially stressed out, I feel physically sick for a few days. I deal with this by doing the things I mentioned above. I currently work overnight maintenance because I can be totally alone and sometimes get to fix things. Might try maintenance too, it's a lot less intimidating than it seems. My boss has been doing maintenance for 20 years or something and even he youtubes and googles shit all the time, takes it as it comes.

Oh, and if you're single, look into vanlife. It's way cheaper and easier for a single person to live that way than renting, no room mates, no ridiculous rent, and you can work seasonally and take vacations.

Plus this gives you the ability to save very quickly for something down the road and if you ever want to live in an apartment, they aren't going anywhere.

This! I was actually looking into doing a van conversion for this reason. The fuck is EMDR?
Thankfully my state has $11 min and before all this happened I aactually was working retail management. Maybe that’ll help with the job applications department.
I actually thought about this too. I thought it also could help if I do a trade school in the nights/evening. Maybe HVAC? Then I’d be able to maintenance things without interacting with people much.
