I am sitting here nearly on the verge of tears as I contemplate the idea of giving up my free time and having to work 40+ hours a week just to survive and have a place to live.
I currently work 27 hours a week doing data entry for an appliance parts store and make about $240 per week. It's good but not enough to buy my own apartment and pay bills. My dad will be selling our house sometime within the next year or so and that means I will be on my own, which also means I will have to start working longer hours to support myself.
I have severe social anxiety and mild situational depression from my misophonia (they all kind of tie in together). It takes everything in me to "adult" and be a functional person. With my current schedule I get so tired of doing the same old grind and coming home with only 6 hours to make dinner, take a bath and hit the hay. And that's only working three days a week. I can't imagine how I will fare working full-time.
I don't want to lose my sanity and free-time to work 9 hours a day somewhere I don't want to be, doing things that cause me more anxiety.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that I want to be a bum or mooch off my dad for the rest of my life (trust me) it's just...losing so much free time and having to exhaust my efforts to be able to afford a place to live that I will never get to enjoy because I will always be at work doesn't appeal to me. Like at all. I value my alone time as an introvert and even more so as a person who deals with anxiety. I need time to pursue my hobbies and passions in order to have a balanced life. I feel like once I work full time the scale will tip and I will get overwhelmed.
I am trying to find work from home jobs so that way I can still be home and still make money. But most of them are scams. LOL.
Is there anyone else who feels like me?
