For the last four appts with my current psychiatrist I have been pressured into finding a part time job despite already receiving disability benefits through social security. These benefits are more than enough to cover my living expenses at the moment. I don’t work well around others due to poor communication skills both verbal and nonverbal also I maintain a rigid routine each day I follow to keep myself from having panic attacks and meltdowns.
It feels very hopeless for me to continue any sort of job search due to anxieties, poor communication, needing a routine, sensory issues, also weekly migraine headaches and I am starting to feel uncomfortable when presented with the option for a referral to my clinic’s employment department where they have an “employment specialist” help patients find work. I have already been in this program once without any luck and I have told my psych this. These “specialists” call and ask to speak to hiring managers, ask if certain places are hiring, assist with accommodations, and ask how to apply. These are all tasks I have done before on my own, literally anyone can do their job.
