Struggling with Anxiety in the Workplace

My anxiety is so bad that I can’t keep a job. I stutter my way through interviews and have the inevitable follow up panic attacks in my car and I just can’t function around people. I had to quit my last job after a massive panic attack three days in so I also can’t jump in and hope for the best when it comes to work.

I have cooccuring conditions that make it almost impossible for me to work as well because no where meets the conditions I have to be able to work in a safe and healthy work environment for me. I've been out of consistent work for over a year because of it and am hoping to apply to disability in the near future. At least until I am able to receive enough help to start working again. I hope you receive the help and accommodations you need in order to help you with your situation too. You don't have to read this next part if you don't want to. It doesn't necessarily add much more to what I had to say but my conditions to be able to find sustainable work are as follows 1. It can't be customer service related because of social anxiety and it's difficult for me to make or answer phone calls 2. The work place has to be predominantly female because of my ptsd relating to SA 3. It has to be afternoon/swing shift because of my insomnia and inability to go to sleep early enough to wake up early 4. I can't work in a super loud/bright environment due to ASD and sensory overload 5. I would prefer not to work in a physically strenuous environment because of my family history of arthritis and I already have dexterity issues in my hands as well as back knee, and hip issues
