Struggling to Find Work as an Agoraphobe

honestly can’t believe i’m doing this but i’m desperate. no one in my life really knows what advice to give me because they’ve never experienced what i have. all i want is to be able to function normally and get a job but i can’t find work that accommodates an agoraphobe.

Can you help? connect today

It's very difficult initially to get social traction as one, I learned this after being in my house for 5 years straight. It takes repetition to be effective. The longer away from social interaction the harder it becomes. It's like a see-saw in my case, but pushing up that hill is damn difficult. Remote jobs will actually be helpful in the short term, but long term you want to try and bridge out, even to the gas station frequently or somewhere you need to go a lot to continue. Try to make it as repetitive as you can so you become re-familiarized with that environment and when you're done with that one work on a bigger project, baby steps til we walk.
