One huge problem for me is I can usually get a job. The question is how long I can last at that job. See while I'd love to say that anxiety doesn't affect me anymore and I can do anything I want, that would just be straight up denial. And anxiety is more than a mental thing, it takes it's toll physically. So I've realized I do have to be smart in what jobs I apply for. For example, working as an administrative assistant answering calls, dealing with customers, juggling a lot of tasks at once, etc would be horrible for me. I'd burn out, my performance would suck and it would be no good for me or the company I'm working for.
I've never been particularly good with this aspect of myself. I feel like I should be able to do these things. But should is such a poisonous word. It just contributes to a lot of self hate and feelings of not being good enough. The fact is people are different and there are different jobs for different people. I should be focusing on what I can do, what I'm good at it, instead of beating myself up about what I can't do.
I have my limits, I have to respect that. But I also have to push myself out of my comfort zone a bit.
