I need help

[prplchknz]

need to get working on the job search but i need to keep my insurance and i can't work over a certain amount of hours nor make more than a certain amount or else i lose my insurance and i don't want to tell the employer this because they'll know i have a disability and then i'll get discriminated against. if we had universal health care this wouldn't be an issue. I can't work full time, when i thought i was starting a business i was really stressed and was convinced my house was gonna be bugged (I thought this for a week until the stress was resolved) I am looking for a therapist who helps with stress reduction, but no dice so far....

I guess I'm partially scared one point of evidence is America Works called me and I've been avoiding calling them back. so I guess I'm looking for suggestions

if i was able to work full time i'd just do that and get insurance through them

what if even part time jobs cause that amount of stress that i also get pushed over the edge? I realize I need to try to find this out. I don't get why I'm so terrified

i guess the good news is i can become president (that's a joke)

The main job my degree qualifies me for is a full-time job, and I don't think I can handle those sorts of hours, unless the job was especially energetically conducive.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of part-time work, at least where I'm from. Part-time job advertisements usually indicate how many hours the job will be for.

I suspect that whether the job causes too much stress would depend a lot on the nature of the job and the work environment, so it's hard to know unless you try it.

Why not give America Works a chance? They help place people with disabilities.

Not sure of your disability but if you're on the schizophrenia spectrum, this article might be interesting.

Also bringing Jungian type into it:

If you're ENFP (applies to INFP too), the Te (organisation, efficiency, planning) and Si (attention to detail, regular duties, to-do lists) focus of the working world can be stressful, but do-able.

Jobs that the ENFPs I've known have done typically involve working with people. Social work, teaching, sales etc. And of course anything artistic from song-writing to architecture is a good fit for ENFP.

If socialising is difficult, that complicates things. I have a similar issue being Fe-auxiliary but with social anxiety, because it's hard for me to utilise the natural people-skills that come with Fe.

You mentioned that you completed your studies recently. What degree did you do?
