You are not doomed.

Having read through the whole of your diary I can only plead with you not to do this. You have had so many interviews - some of which you cancel before the event and others after the interview - plus the numerous job offers which you have ditched either before you start or within a couple of weeks of starting. You are basing the decision to get the car of the slight chance that a. you get the job, and b. staying in the job if you accept the post. I really don't think your mental health needs the stress. I really believe you would be better to go on benefits and maybe find a voluntary post which you might enjoy and which would help you mix more with people which hopefully would boost you.

I agree with uralmaid. It is a big risk for anyone to take on debt before being settled in a long term job. At the moment you don't seem to be able to sustain long term employment due to your health condition so how would you plan to pay back the debt if the job doesn't work out. You would be putting yourself under a lot of pressure to stay in the job even if it is affecting your health because you have to make these debt repayments.

I do also think getting settled on the benefits, having a proper budget and sticking to it and having a breather to try and improve your mental health. Then you could think about volunteering and see how long you manage to sustain that commitment. that would help you to judge if you are fit to take on a paid role.

Of course, only you can make this decision but I think most of your readers will be hoping that you don't go ahead with buying a car at the moment.
