So..... i'm just gunna sit here...
My unemployment (long term. its been, so.... fuuuuunnn... not) is making me depressed, low, devoid of energy, unmotivated, and so darn lonely.
I've been trying my hardest to get a job but its so hard to find somewhere accommodating of my illness.
Hi,
What are your restrictions? Might have some ideas...
I have severe anxiety which excludes me from busy places such as restaurants (waitressing/cheffing/hosting), bars (dancer, bartender, shotgirl) and stores (retail byebyeee)
I'm currently looking into Care work, working with the elderly and stuff like that but it takes a long time to get work placements, then get verified that you can definitely work there, then you can start working. But of course, i'm a 19 year old girl with no work experience.
/comfortable abt talking about anything, i was just out xD
Depending on your area, care work or home care is a field that is always looking for both volunteers and employee caregivers. It can be both rewarding and tiresome, even frustrating at times, depending on the type of individuals you apply to work 1-1 with. I worked in the nursing field for almost 15 years, and I've definitely cycled through all those emotions at one time or another, I also deal with bipolar and manic depression. The neat thing is, you most certainly can impact another person's life in a positive way.
As for no experience, home care does not necessarily require 'school experience', depending on your location and what duties you're performing for the individual. But, nursing classes aren't terribly demanding, if you're just wanting to get certified in the basics. There are programmes that you can enroll in, take less than a year, can also be taken online, that will certify you as a Certified Nurse Assistant. This'll give you a decent wage, as opposed to not being certified, and getting paid a lot less with less options.
Hope this helps.
