    Jobs are all sorts of competitive markets SAStrooper.

    Not to belittle it but everyone who's worked has faced the problem you are.

    What worked for me were middle lines between what I'd prefer to do and what businesses would pay me to do.

    It's likely to be complicated, in my experience that's just how money is.

    Help should be available to you, have you asked a social worker or occupational therapist?

    Please keep trying. Ironically it's worked for me!

    Hello there, its easy to be disheartened but do seek support via local groups and the Jobcentre. Remember your worth is as a unique individual and not in your ability to work or having a job.

    Lots of jobs are found online via networking contacts....

    All the best

    Hi @SAStrooper

    I've found job hunting a challenge throughout my life. I spent years submitting applications and getting rejections. But eventually I found a job where I was happy for a while. I still faced discrimination and as a young person in the 90's this was tough. I didn't have the confidence to speak up.

    I retrained as a counsellor in my 40's and this opened a new chapter in my life. Things can happen when you least expect it. I know that's probably easier for me to say, now I'm on the other side. But I do understand how it feels. Please be kind to yourself.

    Have you considered contacting our Scope Employment Service for some advice and guidance.

    @Passerby I've changed the number to 7 as the other number gets caught by our filter!
