I can't find a good job!


Question Posted Friday September 4 2015, 2:32 pm

I'm trying to find an ONLINE job proofreading, writing (poetry), editing writing pages, selling photos I take (photography), or anything like that.

I hope it's not too much to ask, but I've been looking for ages and I'm seriously depressed because I don't have a good job. I can't do anything in the public because I have severe anxiety that will never go away and can't do factories either. All I have is online. I would love the most to sell my photography (and read up tips to get better of course.) but I need a job in that to pay enough to live off of. So please, can anyone help a very depressed person?

And don't tell me to see my psychiatrist. I do that. Nor my therapist. I do that. Doesn't help. It's my lack of a job that depresses me so horribly.

Thank you for the help

Hon, I dont have suggestions for what to look for online. I understand you feel you have no choice but to find work to do online since you've been unable to get good results and freedom from your anxieties with your current treatment. However, all I have to offer is one more thing you might try regarding your anxieties. If you are willing to try anything that might help you overcome them, even if a zillions things so far haven't worked, what if this one thing I share with you is the one and only thing that does have the ability to help you. Are you willing to overlook it due to great dissappoint from past treatments and possibly deny yourself that chance of relief if it does work? I've read the comments of people it has helped and therefore want to share it with you. What i am talking about is called CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy. cognitive meaning thoughts and it is usually negative thinking or thought patterns that are behind a lot of mentall disorders, including anxiety, depression, OCD, etc. Although all of those can have their own unique issues. A friend who overcame depression by reading one of these books by the author I will mention gave me a copy to share with my ex while I was stilled married to him. He had mental illness and I read it. He was unwilling, didn't beleive he had a problem and only went to see a Dr a couple times cus he thought that might convince me to stay with him evne if he did nothing to improve his behavior which was abusive and destructive towards me. No therapist, psychologist or book on the matter can help anyone who isn't really wanting to get better and willing to work on it. It takes work. I used the same therapys in one of the books to help me after leaving him, I was messed up as his victim and needed that help and it worked.
I read the book Feeling good, by Dr. David D. Burns. He used to practice as a psychologist. He tursted medication over a new therapy his collegues came to know of called CBT cognitive behavioral therapy. tHEY encouraged him to think of a patient who got no imrovement from his counseling and medication therapy to get them the exercises of CBT to try on their own. He got patients to try this and they felt better almost immediately and many are now totally cured. I have no association to this person and nothing to gain from pointing you in this direction dear. So it's simply something I really believe in and wish you to give good consideration. I will post the website of this Dr. You dont have to support him or buy his books but I beleive that CBT will help you. If your current therapist doesnt know about it or believe in it, then if not buying any books to work on it yourself, consider asking for therapists in your area that do practice CBT with their patients. You owe it to yourself dear. Read the comments on the website of those helped by the books. That should get you excited enough to have even a glimmer of hope.
