anyone else have this issue with job applications where you feel you need somebody else to check everything you send to employers to ensure they're correct, or what they're looking for?
I simply have no confidence or faith in myself to do job appliations "correctly", because every job recruiter's expectations is far too unpredictable and subjective. All this is exacerbated by my rejection sensitive dysphoria and childhood trauma triggers, which is dysregulating my nervous system, meaning i'm struggling to get anything work relarted done.
It's exacerbating my job search depression and fears that even if I do get a job, I'll lose it within weeks thanks to discrimination, so it's not worth even trying to work.
Given i'm constantly living under minority stressed caused by politicians treating human lives as expendable in the names of capitalism and fascism, and more recently AI and Trump's invasion of Iran, proudly enabled by Starmer despite his public lies. giving up and signing off as unfit is no an option, especially as i know how capable I am in the right environment.
Even though I need to work, so i can leave the UK, which will cure my chronic low-level suicidal ideation (i don't intend to do anything, but will not so long as leaving the country is still possible for me, i don't need help nor will respond to a **** template welfare email, I'm literally stating it to preempt the suggestion of signing off pernamently, as that will worsen this).
I also fear that given the current fast paced, employer-centric, relationship-based nature of the job market, especially in 2026, my old strategy of getting feedback before sending applications is no longer viable.
Everything moves too quickly, and my confidence looking for jobs is so brittle that every day looking for work is a struggle. I'm so burnt out from functional long-term unemployment, and i can't spend several hours on one job application i will never hear back from. it's a complete waste of time.
and where do i even get reliable support for this? i need weekly appointments at least, and any cancellation completely throws me off balance (as I've recently dealt with in support to work)
