So Tired

Hey OP, thank you for sharing. I just wanted to start with, you're doing an amazing job! You've gone to professionals, you're being proactive with your health, and you have an emotional support team. This journey of self healing will always be a working progress, but you have the proper tools to help you get through the hurdles. As for some guidance or suggestions, any chance you have an emotional support pet? Sometimes having a service pet makes all the difference when the intense anxiety arises. Also, when you are ready, use the skills you've learn so far to your advantage. For example, your resilience to get through that sort of abuse, is your strength. Your alertness will help you hone into your agility skills, which has already made you a better problem solver. Your self awareness of your surroundings, your feelings, and your triggers will help you become a better communicator. Practice those skills everyday, a little at a time and give yourself the credit you deserve. I'm currently in my third year of undergrad and they teach us about honing into all those skills because it's the foundation of what makes a good employee. Try to find businesses that share the same values as you do, starting with viewing their mission statements and then viewing the reviews from previous employees. You'll get a good sense of how they treat their employees because getting a job isn't just about pleasing employers, it's about you also. There are many data entry jobs that require minimal experience, but ultimately it's your decision and one day at a time right? Hopefully this helps, or at least gives you a start to feeling less trapped. Regardless, I wish you the best and have faith that you'll get where you need to, when you're ready to.
