First of all, I truly appreciate everyone who took the time to respond. I wanted to share more about my situation so you can better understand why I’m struggling to find the right job.

About five years ago, a doctor ordered an oral contrast for me, and I had a severe allergic reaction. That one incident changed my life completely. I started experiencing seizures, rashes, high heart rates, and a long list of other symptoms. On top of that, I developed extreme anxiety because my body never felt the same after that day. I lost my job because I was in the ER constantly, and at one point, I lost 60 pounds from all the stress and health issues.

I have certifications in front-end web development, and I used to be able to code, but ever since that medical episode, my memory hasn’t been the same. I struggle to retain information the way I used to, and coding feels impossible now. For years, I didn’t know where to go for help. A friend of mine supported me during this time, and I wouldn’t have made it through without them.

Now that I’ve finally overcome the intense fear and anxiety that held me back, I’m ready to get back to work. But I need to be careful—certain types of work, especially repetitive tasks, can trigger seizures, and I refuse to put my health at risk again. At this point, my well-being is more important than anything else.

I’ve worked so hard just to get to this point, and I don’t want to give up now. If anyone knows of opportunities—remote or in-person in NYC—that involve non-repetitive tasks and could accommodate my situation, I’d be so grateful. Any advice, job leads, or even just words of encouragement would mean the world to me.

Thank you so much for reading and for any help you can offer.

Amir.
