Work from home?

Are there any jobs that allow you to work from home, and how the heck do you find one? I can barely hold it together long enough to go to the grocery store, but I desperately need to earn a steady income. I finally found meds that work for my depression and fatigue, but my social phobia persists. If anyone has any ideas or information I would appreciate it tremendously.

Selling on Ebay is good, but then again, you have to gather the items to sell in the first place. There’s medical transcription – that pays ok. I chatted with a lady a few years ago who did that. You just type what a doctor has voice-recorded. Going to Google may find you a lead. But if you can somehow manage to get out of the house, a lonely job is a night-time security guard or being a postal letter carrier. Carriers can make serious dollars. Double-time pay? – that’s a regular thing. My wife is currently making 3 TIMES regular pay and her 2-week pay period isn’t even complete.

Working from home would be really cool!...but i don't think it's really the answer to people in SA because it's not getting us better. Keeping ourselves locked away will just make our social phobias worse. 🙁

Septor and Lotrsfan both have really good points.

Most home working jobs are nothing more scams. I've researched the possiblity of home working endlessly and I've yet to find a good opportunity.

Even though it's very, very tempting, I don't think it'll do me much good locking myself away from the world for even more time than I do now. I already compromise my life quite extensively due to SP as it is.

:? :? :?

Hey, thanks for the thoughtful responses. This is a really cool forum.

I know it may seem counterproductive to isolate one's self even more by working at home. I used to feel that way about it, too. I thought that if I continued to force myself into high-stress situations I would gradually adapt. But after a while it just feels llike self-deprecation. I am happy being alone, so why should I deny it for myself? Anyway, that's how I feel.

So... shipost, what is it that you do, exactly? Is it a secret?
