Talk to the Shaw Trust http://www.shaw-trust.org.uk/home - they are a charity which work with people with dysablities get into work. I havent had direct experance with them myself but I know people who have and they say that they are good.
Also talk to the dysablitie advisers at the Job Center they could give you some direction.
It could also be a idea to think about charity / volentery work as this can often lead on to somthing, if there is a center for volentery work in your areara then contact them.

What kind of career or work were you thinking about doing - have you any ideas?

Hmm, there was a 16 point personality test thing someone put up round here that seemed really accurate and good in telling who you are and what you'd enjoy to do as a career- it got me pretty much spot on, I recommend you try it. You may find out what sort of job you'd like that way, but don't worry if you can't see yourself working that one job for the rest of your life, there's no rule saying you have to decide now and not change jobs a few times before you settle into something you can really enjoy.

I think in this case carrier counseling is very best for you. But best way is to be calm and do not get panic. Take your time to think about your interest and your personality. It would be good and useful tip for you. But if does not work you should try carrier counseling.
