Anxiety about getting a job

I'm just going to start out by saying I've had 3 jobs and I've quit all them because of anxiety. I need to get a job. I am 17 and cannot keep relying on my parents for the things I need or want. I want a job desperately but I am so afraid that it's just going to end up like all the other ones and I will quit. I'm afraid I can't do it. Afraid I will just fail. I'm scared about not being able to do things even though I know that I will learn. I have myself convinced that I can't do it. But I need to do it. I need to be making my own money. I need to be doing something other than sitting and home and sulking. But here I am still terrified about getting a job.

You should find something you love doing and get a job that involves doing just that..for example if you love music try working someplace that revolves around music
