Re: tired of being a failure

[Guest guest]

To Jarred and others in the same situation,

This is not a permanent job solution, but a short term money

solution. Look into delivering the newspaper in your area, maybe

there's a route close to where you live. Where I live it's done at

night and there's very little interaction with people and you can

wear headphones. It's not the most ideal, and city's aren't exactly

"quiet" at night, but it might work for you in the short term. It

did for me.

I hear you about trying to go to college. Not misophonia / sound

sensitivity friendly at all! I too feel like a failure in that area.

Another idea, look into being a Virtual Assistant. If you have any

web or managing skills you might be able to find website or virtual

assisting work you can do from home. Perhaps your local college has

online courses you can take for it. Just kicking some ideas your

way.

I know how much of a struggle it is to live a "normal" life and do

"normal" things while dealing with this condition. It's easy to fall

into depression, I know I already reached bottom and didn't want to

live anymore. I have an understanding of what you are going through.

I know this is a last resort, but consider applying for Social

Security Disability. I was led to do this "when I hit bottom"

dealing with this unforgiving condition. 5 years later in court,

recently my case was recognized and won. That's another step to

bringing attention to this disability many of us suffer with.

I haven't posted in a while, but I continue to empathize with

everyone in this group. You are not alone! I have hope that there

will be a way one day that will once and for all, cure this

disabling condition.

Take care,

Randall

I tried working basic jobs; didn't figure I'd get

anywhere due to horrable learning disability. Jobs kept

falling though the floor; no economy. I mean, I'm a

learning impaired misophonic(no friends, no connections,

no tolerance) in the lowly economy of the midwest during a

recession; I never had much going for me in the first

place. Went to the military; not surpisingly, discharged

for medical reasons (my second time in a depression

clinic). I guess they didn't want some crazy bastard on an

expensive destroyer with a crew out in the middle of the

ocean. Came back home, went to college. Got straight A's

at community college, went to Kansas State University for

landscape architecture; I'm creative, and if I'm doing

what I love, it's design work. Failed at K-state

miserably, (competitive school + learning disability +

misophonia + dorm room = Jarred is screwed ) and my gpa is

trashed. Tryed community college again (backup plan was

horitculture studies) to bring up gpa; got into classes

that turned out not to be misophonia fiendly, and gpa is

even lower. I'm beaten against a wall. I need to find a

job, but I am so tired of PAIN that leads nowhere. Has

anyone researched online work opportunities that don't

involve a phone?

I was a Landscaper contractor, and it is possible to run a business with minimal continual contact with people. Most of your time you can work alone and it is outside so noises are much more tolerable. Also consider being a PM security guard maybe from your car guarding parking lots, buildings and such. There are the guys that drive those street sweepers at night and do parking lots. All by yourself!The SS disability I think is going to be easier going forward as more people learn of this condition. And I feel hopeful that we will find some type of total or partial cure in the future. Don't give up. There is hope!!Mike To: Soundsensitivity Sent: Friday, March 23, 2012 2:23 AM Subject: Re: tired of being a failure

If you are still interested in horticulture or landscape architecture, don't

give up on those. I have been working in the hort business for 20 years without

any schooling do to so. I LOVE it... playing in the dirt is therapeutic to me.

If you have a love for it and companies can recognize your love and talent they

often will hire you anyhow and you can work up. Don't give up on finding

something you really love to do. It can still happen.

You can become an eBay seller, if you want. You could even focus on selling thing related to what you love. People sell all sorts of gardening equipment, seeds and plants propagated by cuttings. I'm actually a Master Gardener and top-rated eBay seller. One thing that is great about selling on eBay for someone with misophonia is that you do all of your interaction electronically. Your location also doesn't matter. Just a thought!Sent from my iPhone

Interesting; we have a landscape contractor, a master gardener, and a landscape

architect wanna-be. What do you mean by an eBay seller? What do you sell often

enough to create a steady source of income? I doubt if I could subsist off of

seeds.
