Stuck in dead end job that’s ruining my mental health

I hate my job. I work in sales for a big tech company and I swear it’s slowly killing me. I’m disabled, my main issues being MS, autism, and chronic pain, but there’s a bunch of other things too. Working is hard for me, and finding a job that I’m compatible with is nearly impossible. I can’t work full time hours, I can’t work nights, and I can’t do 8 hour shifts, at least not consistently. Every job that I can find near me is either full time, night shifts, or basically the exact same job I have now, but in a different hell hole. I can’t even do remote work because my internet is so slow at home I can barely watch YouTube. I need to get out of sales because the pressure of making people apply for credit cards they don’t want or need is exhausting. I’m happy…


I hate my job. I work in sales for a big tech company and I swear it’s slowly killing me. I’m disabled, my main issues being MS, autism, and chronic pain, but there’s a bunch of other things too. Working is hard for me, and finding a job that I’m compatible with is nearly impossible. I can’t work full time hours, I can’t work nights, and I can’t do 8 hour shifts, at least not consistently. Every job that I can find near me is either full time, night shifts, or basically the exact same job I have now, but in a different hell hole. I can’t even do remote work because my internet is so slow at home I can barely watch YouTube. I need to get out of sales because the pressure of making people apply for credit cards they don’t want or need is exhausting. I’m happy to help customers, but I hate pushing things on them, and after four years here I’ve been told my job is on the line because I don’t get enough card apps and memberships. And the worst part is, I can’t afford to quit. I live with my parents still, but they’re as broke as I am, my income is crucial to keep us afloat. But the amount of times I think to myself everyday “this job makes me wish I was dead” is ridiculous. I haven’t been this depressed in years. But I don’t know how to get out. I wonder if I should just stay here because I know at least the managers are willing to accommodate me, but I’m so burnt out all the time. I wish I could take some time off, but I just can’t afford it. I seriously don’t know what to do anymore.
