Can't decide where to go from here.

I don't have a job. I live on disability. I am content with it because I've had 29 low paying minimum wage jobs and I've never been promoted. I've lost all desire to work because I know I'll probably just be fired again. I haven't worked for two years and the last job I had was at American Apparel. I really hated it. It was disorganized, fast paced, paid horrible, hours were long, and had cramped spaces where numerous people would all work at the same time. Plus I had to steam clothes which I was also horrible at. I've only been good at one job and that was being a mascot for a college. I quit because I got tired of doing the same stupid dancing routines that I had done before and I felt the act was getting really stale. I also hate driving. I tried driving a car once and I almost crashed it into a pole.

The only thing I can do in a car is drive around a parking lot at five miles per hour so I have made the decision to never take a drivers test.

it is a good thing that disability income is more available in Canada. in America instead of paying people with mental/cognitive issues disability, they just dump them out on the street where they are prone to death or abduction by the criminal [in]justice system, 9 times out of 10. a significant portion of our jail and prison population is mentally ill one way or another. anyways, you have many people here on WP who get where you're coming from. you will be listened to here.

Take heart. I can only drive automatic transmission and haven't had a car for a number of years due to high costs of getting another vehicle and maintaining it and getting petrol etc.

I've also battled with many similar issues. It began getting better once I was diagnosed because then I had a name for it and could do research on it. I'm thankful to the professional who diagnosed me.

Maybe you will be fortunate enough to find work that coincides with your special interest/s and where you actually enjoy to be. It's not out of the question.

Wishing you the best for better times.
