I got diagnosed with Agoraphobia and Ptsd.. It's been really hard for me to find a job becauseof it.
I applied for disability but got denied.. I've applied to everything in my area even McDonald's and they won't hire me either. I need advice. I've been unemployed for years and it seems it only gets harder to find something with my job gap.

Chexk out disability focused sites and job boards (i.e. Lime Connect offers free career coaching). Check out the The Making Space Ascend Program For Disabled Professional program. All states have free employment services *i think. Look at maybe gig/contract work if not already doing so. Consider remote/WFH focused job boards. Some jobs have returnship programs for workers with gaps. It does differ based on education, experience, skills, and personal network.

I believe in you!

Any work from home jobs like call Center could work too

Do you know why? There is not usually a very high barrier to entry

Took my first ever sick day today on account of my very poor and worsening mental health. Just could not bring myself to put in another 14 hour day with back to back meetings and constant activity. Felt very guilty but I honestly wish I could be more honest and actually share with my manager about why I took a day off.

For those also going through this, any tips on how you manage yourself day to day? What self talk tends to help?
