Anything worrying you, troubling you and is a problem - you can ask for support and advice. Look at past post, even.

Still trying to get a job but I don’t get them due to my communication skills

[Hidden in reply to Dogmad600]

Support worker or kitchen assistant is easy first job to get, you just need references. Doing online course in health and social care can help and it is short course so suitable for everyone on oplex courses, you are in UK or somewhere else?
