Attitude Adjustment: need help!

I am a jobless, 30 yr old, single female. I am a designer by profession with decent skills and have changed 12 jobs in last ten yrs and mostly not on good terms. i desperately need to work and i start any new job with graet hopes and honest sincere ideals, but some where along the line people or situation (office politics) begin to bother me and i become disgruntled and then begin to lose interest in work or start to feel sick in the mornings to go to work.

I am polite and calm and bit reserved by nature. I have no girl friends (or friends as such, most old ones are married off and living their own lives, want to make new ones). My ex boy friends think that i am a fantastic, bold, courageous person that they are in love with, but even they cant help me with my work issues becoming emotional issues. I make great first impressions on people but then i cant keep that positive energy alive and I dont know how to handle conflict at work (i get very upset and aggressive and lose temper if some one is on purpose being too authoritative or unfair to me) neither can i relax or establish every day contact with work people, i cant relate to them, i feel isolated, am lost in a group conversation because i cant concentrate, specially with women. People end up taking me a an odd rude person!

i am stressed.
please help!!!

You could always do what I did and go back to school. At the moment its about the most profitable job I can find (living primarily on student loan excesses and selling plasma), and its easy (but occasionally really irritating on account of being so old compared to the kiddies there and the condescending manner in which Dr. S lectures them… someone needs to tell her that speaking louder in no way makes her statements less condescending).

Not the worst place to be during a recession at least.
