Hard times

I'm having a hard time trying to live on my own. I have been scrapping by for about 10 months now. One major problem is every time I get a job, I will quit do to boredom, difficulty, or I just do not like it. If I keep at it my anxiety attacks can get worse. I do not like this dilemma. Any suggestions?

Maybe you can post this again here as more people will see it and offer advice.
 
What kinds of jobs have you been finding boring/difficult/un-like-able?

What things can you do a lot without getting bored? What things do you like to do? What are you good at?

All I can think of is to look for jobs where you would be doing things you find interesting (or at least not so boring you can't stand it), and/or like to do, and/or are good at.

I have been like that! Oh dear, I have walked into the boss's office and told him that I no longer can cope with working there and I demand my full pay. Goodness me, either he was eager to get rid of me ( probably that) or he was amused at how niave I was, that I got my full pay immediately. It was the injustice I could not deal with.

I find that if I am bored with the work in hand, I get meltdowns, but now as a mature ( in age ), I see that really if you want to have a remotedly decent life style, then needs must and especially if you live on your own.

Housework is pretty boring and so, I brighten things up and play music at top volume, whilst I am working and love the look afterwards.

You need to find ways to push boredom away, otherwise, you will be in a worse dilemma than boredom!
 
I suck at keeping jobs too. The longest I've had a job for is about 6 months.

I have three children now so don't work, my partner is the breadwinner... between the two though, I'd rather work lol.
 
Have the same problems, but usually due to noise issues. I need a very quiet working environment. Jobs usually suck unfortunately too. Welcome to the site!
