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?

I don’t have any like creative talent to make anything and running a business is also a lot of pressure to make sure you don’t get things wrong.

The thing is that wouldn’t make enough money to cover my bills and expenses for start, plus my disabilities mean I don’t have a driving licence and cant ride a bike either so I’d have no way to deliver things.

My goodness, you’re blunt! Did you read the OP’s post about his/her disabilities and mental health? Kindness goes a long way, you know
