Good job for someone with anxiety?

[Guest7765]

Basically centrelink wont accept any more medical certificates because they only apparently only accept a certain amount and i walked back home depressd because now i can5 even afford to buy medication. I snappee and am done with centrelink.

Just wondering whats a good job for someone with anxiety that does't require experience?

Hello Ozm8ey.

Welcome to the forums,

Im really sorry your having difficulties with Centrelink.

Im not sure but you can check for eligibility for Newstart allowance,.Im not sure but maybe just inquire about that...

I think really it's just trial and error, to see what your capable of doing without your anxiety flaring up at work..

What job is good for someone else doesn't really mean it's good for you..

I am sorry but I can't recommend a specific job title that I know for sure that you would be comfortable in..

More wonderful people might pop in with some good suggestions on job types..

Good luck..and would like to hear back from you if you feel up to it.

Warm thoughts,

Grandy

Hi ozm8tey,

It depends what you like doing, but here's my suggestion, how about a garden labourer/ garden maintenance / plant nursery assistant ... in the outdoors, connecting with nature, not too much pressure?

I know that's helped me in the past. Coming from a high pressure job, it saved my life, truly.

All the best mate, hang in there won't you.

Come back for a chat any time, we're always happy to listen.

I'm in the same boat,

Treated like a bludger ,as if I want to be this way with more and more appointments being made causing my anxiety to get worse.

I spend most days thinking of ways to give up everything and survive without centrelink or to try and snap myself out of my condition.

Everyday I beat myself up more because I can't just be like a normal person and get on with things, get a job, function in public, attend a simple appointment or even catch public transport.

Centrelink don't care and job networks are the same.

Anxiety and depression seem to fall into a black hole of presumed lazy excuses to get out of requirements.

I wish I could just disappear

You could try contacting the Australian Unemployed Workers' Union - they help with issues related to JSA's and DSP applications.

I ended up making a complaint mainly because i ended up having to borrow money to buy medication. I sorta regret making a complaint because it gave me anxiety afterwards. I was just so frustrated. Idk what to do should i just try and do their requirements? I just fear im gonna end up having to use public transport and put in stressful enviourments.

Hello ozm8ey,

I can't really tell you what to do, it's really your decision to make..but if it was me and it was two years ago..I just done what was required to do and things ended up working out ok..not ideal no, but okay...

Maybe just speak to them and see how things go..

Kind thoughts,

Grandy.

If your mental illness is severe and on-going and a psychiatrist is willing to write a letter to that effect on your behalf you may, in fact, qualify for the National Disability Scheme and pension. I would think there would be some kind of hearing in which you would be asked to present evidence and you would then take along any documentary evidence of when you have seen a doctor, been hospitalised...etc... If you haven't already, I think that you need to see a psychiatrist so that a) they can help with your anxiety and b) provide back-up in your dealing with Centrelink and, perhaps, the NDIS.
