I'd like to change jobs as well, but its like being on one island and not knowing if I can survive the swim to the next island. I just stay on this one because its safe enough. Sorry missjesss, no help :

Sorry to confuse you, yes I would like a job with some more contact with people but at the same time I don't because my confidence is so low, I don't know how to leave my "safe job"

how long have you been at job for and what do u do? You are probably in the same situation as me!

Me too! I think of my job as a comfy prison. Better the hell you know...

I'm in the same boat, sort of. I am fine with the level of human interaction in my current job, but I also hate my job and want to get a different one--if I weren't too chicken to do it. My job, like my SA, is my gilded cage.
Do you hate the work you do or just the lack of human contact? If the latter, you might consult with your supervisor about changing your job up some to increase your contact with customers.
If the former, I think it's one of those cases where you just have to force yourself to do it (there's a lot of those with SA!). Just keep reminding yourself again and again how much better you're going to feel once you get away from the depression-inducing job.
