🥺

That's tough.

Ultimately focusing on your mental health for now is what matters most, getting yourself to the best place that you can be, this is your priority 💕💜

I have not worked in 20 years because of my mental health. I also find it hard to live on my own and have not since 1999.

I've had 3 jobs over the past 4 years and lost them all within a month or two from starting.
Lately, I've been considering the possibility of starting my own business, but even that has challenges.

I hope you don't give up! I find working super helpful for me to keep my mind productivly active. I know it is hard to find a job and a good job at that. Maybe you just have not found the right fit. In the US we have disability counselors I think at the unemployment office who help you find a job. It's hard to get started, but whether you can work or not, you have to do something... work, a hobby or something? Otherwise I don't think your mental health can get better.
