Help me please school? I wanna hurt myself! =(?

Help me please? Job? I wanna kill myself =(?





Hi. I was born with a mental illness called Social Anxiety Disorder, it was inherited by my mom or dad, through genes or something, lately its been killing me cause I don't know what to do when I grow up. The illness is where I feel like people are looking at me and I feel extremely nervous, its a psychatric disorder or something... I wish i wasn't born with it, feel like I havn't got a fair chance at life and just want to be normal for once... I'm only 16 and doing fairly good in school I think i'll be transfering to a University.. Like UCI, but I don't know what type of ocupation suits me, cause i'm always afraid and nervous around people feel like they are looking at me, i sweat and everything. I don't know whats a good paying job for me, a good enviroment I can work in and still be happy. Any suggestions please?

well it obviously have to be a job with little or no contact with people accountant or a work from your house job you should also get some counselling about these feelings they can help you so much
Reply:Not too much help for what kinds of jobs will be good, but it sounds like you're very anxious about making a life transition in general. This is a normal fear, so give yourself a break.





I have several friends who are extremely successful in University despite having SAD. It can be done! If you go after a degree, stay connected with your university's counseling services, take any meds you've been prescribed, and register with your university's disability services department. Even if you don't need any accommodation right now, letting the administration know about the problem will help you down the line if it does get overwhelming. I know people who have had nervous breakdowns from SAD and the pressure of school, but were able to take a medical withdrawal and come back with no harm to their GPA or reputation because they'd communicated to professors and the school *while they were better.*





If a situation isn't right for you because of SAD or any other reason, remember, it is not your fault and there is no shame in having to withdraw. In this day and age, people come back to college all the time even years and years later; a withdrawal is not the same as a closed door. Give it a try, use the resources available to you, and if it doesn't work it doesn't mean you necessarily did anything wrong. Good luck!





Oh, I do have a jobs suggestion - try Archives or Records Management. We have some SAD co-workers and other professionals who stick to processing all day and rarely see people; the work does not tend to have a deadline either. Some people are bad enough to need periodic institutionalization or intensive treatment, but seem to find a good niche here when on the outside. You need a degree, probably B.A. in history and usually a grad degree either MLS or MA; but investigate who's hiring for what positions and what degrees they need first, as this is no longer a hard-and-fast rule. Some positions really only need a B.A. or will let you volunteer first, then consider you for a job if you're good at it.
Reply:Ok guy look, its not that serious. What you have....everyone has! Some people can deal with it a little better than others, its a skill, you will get better at it. My advise to you is do not run from your fears, embrace them. I really mean that. The best satisfaction in life is conquering a fear. Theres nothing else like it. Go to college take some liberal arts classes and YOU figure out whats right for you. Dont ever let someone else make your desicions for you. Its your life you run it how you see fit. Goodluck
