Help!!!

Can someone help me please, we are in alot of financial difficulty, my husband works full time but we need another income to make ends meet, here comes the problem....i'm finding it very difficult to apply for a job, i suffer anxiety and panic attacks (i'm on antidepressents to help) the more i feel pressured i need to get a job the worse my nerves are i feel i'm in a catch 22 position....i don't know what to do...any advice would be great. If i manage to get through the interview when it comes to actually going i can't face feeling trapped there and not being able to get home if my nerves kick in.

Thankyou
shezzy

    Hi Shezzy, I know it might sound impossible but the first thing to do is don't panic, post a list of all your incomings and outgoings on here as there are some great people on here that may be able to help you make some initial savings and then be able to help show you where you go from there.

    I know it's easy to think your trapped when you can't see any way for things to improve but there are lots of things you can do. You came to the right place as you will get all the help and support that you need, just remember no matter how bad things seem there are people on here (including myself) that were at one time in the same position as you.

    Like Annie said it would be good to post exactly the position you are in so we can see options for you.

    The thought of being "forced" to work definately won't help your condition I can understand that perfectly.

    So if you can spend some time collating figures and we can see what you can do.

    Remember there are always solutions to finances!

    What do you love doing, can you get a job doing it? That way it will be a joy to go to work, not a trial.
    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?
