I have two months to get a job before my savings run out. I have only had one job, and it ended with debilitating tics and stress up the wazoo. I am expected to get a job because I'm an adult and I pay rent to my parents. They expect so much of me. I feel crushed by the weight of their expectations. Of my expectations. Of the prospect of people looking at me in disappointment. How do I get past this paralyzing fear of being a complete and utter failure who peaked in high school and gets scared when I remember I have arms so I can do some real good for myself? P.S. Please don't point me towards job opportunities. I am too scared to reach for them. That is my primary concern right now.

I would consider looking into congititve distortions to learn about the traps our minds can put us in. Also for anything severe with OCD there is the idea of acceptance of uncertainty which you can find YT videos of. I know it's tough and I don't have all the answers but hope I can at least guide you in a helpful direction š

@kengik I appreciate the advice. It is very difficult sometimes to remember just how much my OCD affects my perception.
