I’m almost 22 years old and I’m going to be applying for jobs until I get into college next year. I have only worked one job (when I was 17) I quit the first week due to severe anxiety and insane amounts of pressure. I’m going to apply for work at home jobs to compensate for this, but again I’m terrified I’ll screw it up again somehow. I have BPD, autism, &amp; severe trauma but I know I need to work a job or else I’ll never make it in life. 

I’ve had several people tell me to apply for SSI and nothing against the people who get income that way, but my family will severely chastise me if I get assistance like that. I know I need to work because it makes me severely depressed if I’m not doing something productive. It’s not a win win situation.
