I'm struggling financially due to anxiety

Or it can exacerbate the problems and make the situation more demanding on masking your anxiety and discomfort than on the interview itself.
Vanakkam,
If you ever need I can maybe direct you or speak about you to some people. I know suite a few people in the vidéo game/movie industry that have a hard time finding sound designers and would accept you working From home... Just tell me whenever you can, I'll spread the word to my contacts and see if they are interested...
Can't do much besides that, am sorry
Aum Namah Shivaya
I'll keep that in mind once I get a couple of my current projects more wrapped up.
I've taken advantage of all the resources I've been able to, as few as they are. Yes I've had counseling both from employment specialists and therapists but a lot of places here are backed up or understaffed so it's hard to keep at it sometimes.
Makes sense, no need to put my eggs all in one basket.
No musical equipment would be worth less than it's components, no matter how old. Also the one time I went to the junkyard I dropped off 80 pounds of metal and they labeled it as "tin/appliances" even though none of it had any tin and I was given 3 dollars. Only junkyard in the area I could find. They probably intentionally cheated me as they rushed me out and didn't want to explain anything when I tried to ask questions.
I'll have you know I have more than a "semblance of rhythm":
And I don't need cheap gimmicks.
Ugh I'd rather die. I'm related to enough people in that industry to know I would hate it.
People have this idea that sex alone sells products. It doesn't.
It's involuntary and is in opposition to my mentality about it. Facing things head on too fast, while it can help with things I can easily control, has acutally lead me to really impulsive actions before. It's a delicate act, but none of it is directed by a mentality.
I do maintain that the physical symptoms are the worst part. Headaches, chest pains, unable to think clearly at all, confused and heart palpitations and a constant feeling of real danger. I'm literally in fight or flight.
And during that whole time I'm not actually feeling anything emotionally, other than feeling extremely stressed and obsessing over trying to figure out how to solve things which might actually be totally unknown or out of my control but which presents a real risk or even a plausible possibility of one.
Or accomplishment. Though it's a bit' more than a little. But every bit helps. It's keeping that flame of inspiration that is hard, not starting it.

Not necessarily age, but also damaged (even a totally rusted out mixing board still has some copper wires).
From what you described, that seems the case. Only a shady junk yard would do such a thing.
Its not the occupation for me, either; but I suppose that's why it pays so well.
I think choosing a job because it pays well, as opposed to having a real interest in doing that kind of thing is a horrible life decision to put it the best way I can.
Plus, going to school to get a job later won't solve the issue of not having money now or during that entire time to live off of. It's not like you get paid to go to school lol.
Though I've seriously considered going back to college to study audio engineering, but that isn't possible at the moment.

Very, very true. If I wanted easy and a "secure" paycheck, I would have went into business. Never mind the fact I would have hated myself and probably would have quit because I would have killed myself or killed my coworkers over the mindless plebeian banter of the average people who go into the average college major.
You can get comfortable with neurotypicals.
It takes time & work. And you're so young.

I'm comfortable with many neurotypicals. However, I loath being around anyone who speaks of American Idol as if it's a god-sent gold mine of talent (it doth offend St. Mercury
).

I've endured talk of baseball, fishing, fixing VW bugs, & even endless droning on & on about home renovation.
Oh.....wait.....that last on was me.

Still doesn't mean I'd be happy or have the motivation to stay/continue on.
Many jobs didn't suit me either.
But one can expand one's tolerances of different kinds of people.

She said she needed cash and she couldn't hold down a regular job, stripping can be a very lucrative sideline but it should never be a long term career choice IMO

Where did you get this idea from my post?
Apparently I naively thought you were saying that if I had marginal musical talent I could get further by sexualizing my public image. Ironically your clarification makes me less offended because it doesn't carry the connotation that I suck at music. Sorry for my earlier response, but I really doubt I could get a job as a stripper even if I wanted to.

Very true. What makes a job good or bad is often a lot to do with the people you work with and for.
I'm afraid I haven't got any suggestions on the job front, but just wanted to say I hear you. I also have severe anxiety (and depression, and OCD to boot, though I think I have the latter under control now, plus some other stuff going on that I won't go into). So far I've found the counselling only marginally helpful myself (but am in the process of getting referred for some more 'specialist' support). However, used to get pretty frequent (often daily) panic attacks (the full set of physical symptoms). The drugs I'm on at the moment (60 mg fluoxetine daily) haven't solved my anxiety of course (which is pretty much 24/7), but they have taken the edge off of the worst physical symptoms and I don't get full-on panic attacks anymore, which makes things a bit easier on the work front (I do have a job, and they're pretty understanding, but it's all starting to take its toll on me, and the job is starting to suffer a bit now, so I worry of course about that). How is it for you on the drugs front? I assume you've tried them all (or most of them)? Conscious that that often requires money too, of course.

Look, music ain't working, or so it would appear. If you're good at music you should be good at math (they're related). Go online and search fro "Train female electrical apprentice YOUR HOMETOWN HERE" There are dozens of places that will help women get into the trades. It pays well, it's interesting for the first 10 years, and it will give you the financial flexibility to pursue music without worrying about starvation.

I'm going to have to look into that myself. I went to Indiana's official local office for employment/unemployment stuff, and when I asked them about such a thing, they told me I wouldn't qualify because I have outstanding student loan debt.
And then with all that knowledge about electricity, and access to equipment, things may get "shockingly" naughty!
(But only after I test it out first to see how having my piercings in effects the passage of electricity).
