Returning to work

[Void511]

I am so anxious to return to work it’s been 9 years since I’ve held done a job.Ive had jobs lots of them I only seem to last a few weeks.I am currently looking for work which is so stressful as you could imagine.I stopped socialising and basically cut me self off from the world completely 3 years ago.I noticed I was down right depressed and anxious all the time.Yes I was on weed at the time which wasn’t helping, I noticed I was just trying to do anything to escape reality.It was a year long struggle to become sober. Now two years clean with a couple of beers once every now and then and me dozen cigarettes a day habit.Yes I did stop cigarettes only lasted 6 weeks. Done that twice in past 2 years.So that’s a little of situation lately.

void,

Welcome to the forum. this is a caring,friendly and supportive place.

Well done for working hard to get sober and change your lifestyle to try to get a job. you must have a lot of determination.

i am wondering would you consider doing volunteer work until you can fi d some paid work. you could volunteer in an area in which you have skills and are interested.

feel free to,post here as much as you like.

all the best
