It is hard for me juggling mental health, daily life, planning your future, dealing with your education, money problems, stress and depression. The worst part about all this is I have to deal with this all on my own. I am 22 years old and I graduated 4 years ago. During those past 4 years, I have been pushing and struggling after graduation. I have been trying to do the best I can with what I have. But only to always see myself constantly making mistakes, and failing horribly. I am 22 years old and I am still stuck at my parents house struggling and suffering from mental health and life's cruelest ways. I feel ashamed and embarrassed to get my first at the age of 22.

I was 13! Working has always been extremely hard for me as I tend to leave jobs due to anxiety. My current job is the best so far but I still worry constantly.

At the beginning any kind of job can be good and mainly useful against ocd. Try to look for a job that it's suitable with your ocd. Don't care if you find a job that doesn't reflect your expectations. Important is that how you will feel. Good luck

Hey i want to tell you that my first job was at 16 but people are always going to fucking judge you, most of the people i know tell me that i was too old when i got my first job because they got it when they were 14 but that meand fucking nothing. You can have 5 years of experience on the job area but be a terrible worker or a terrible person to work with. Meaning that everyone’s meaving life at their own pace and rythm and you should find people that respect that. People that respect the fact that you have different difficulties when it comes to some specific things of life. AND THAT’S OK. Everyone has their shit, some people are lazy and that’s why they don’t get jobs or stick on them, som others find their passion until they are 50 years old or find the person they actually love until they’re 60..

Question
I’m so glad everybody has a comfortable job where they can pay for therapy. But I’ve realized my ocd has gotten worse at the job I’m currently at and I don’t want to quit because the job market is never hiring and I always have bills to pay like every freaking week on top of that I’m still in college. I think being stressed is making my ocd worse.

Work related OCD
Does anyone have OCD regarding always feeling like you are not good enough at your job? I'm 58 years old now I've had OCD since childhood. Every job I've been at I never felt as good as my colleagues. I am a nurse but I worked at that for 15 years I had a breakdown of sorts in 2017 and went on disability. I now work part time as a a swim instructor for kids. I always was afraid of killing someone when I was a nurse. Then I tried dog grooming but I was afraid I would do it wrong and hurt the dogs. At least now the stakes are lower. But my OCD is the same. I work with colleagues who are about 40 years younger than I am . I am afraid of teaching certain classes bc I feel like I wouldn't do as good a job as someone else. I know I can do it but it's like I have a fear of not giving them their money's worth. I've been at my current job for 2 years . I've gotten very positive comments from my managers but I can't seem to believe them. I feel a lot of shame bc I lost a lot of my life to OCD and I am at an age where people are starting to retire after long and successful careers and here I am working at an entry level job. I'm planning on trying to get out of my comfort zone and teaching some of the classes I'm afraid of .it's really hard. I'm always scared what if I lose my benefits and had to work again as a nurse how would I do it.

Hi! Urgent!
Hey, so I have POCD. I’m a teenager and can’t get a job. I want to make money by babysitting, but I’m scared. I don’t want to hurt any children and I want to be safe.
