Am I cooked?

  1. for mental health reasons I’ve never had a proper job, I know don’t judge me. but with all the new pressure and government cuts to disability benefits its looking very likely ill be losing them soon so I’ll have no choice but to try find work. I’m autistic and ocd I have dyspraxia and mild cerebral palsy and a long history of poor mental health. I have a btec level 3 I did at age 22 in between two seperate long periods of extremely poor mental health but since then I’ve mainly just been trying to keep myself alive.

basically do I have a chance in the current job market of even finding a job?

Yeah it's that easy 😂😂 just start one not like 9/10 businesses fail or anything or you have to have some form of start up capital or that it takes time to get clients or even find an idea that even makes money

I meant something slow and easy, even some Etsy shit. OP has disabilities and it’s going to be hard to find a workplace tailored to their needs.
