I’ve been out of school working for about 16 years now. Work is a huge stressor. Been on short term disability 3 times plus other random weeks off due to my anxiety, depression, and moods. It’s hard working man. I hear ya. I want to turn my hobbies into something that will bring in money so that I could work my main job less and be less stressed? Def gonna follow your post.

Do you like animals? You could search jobs working in animal hospitals or shelters. I always thought working in a library would be a good job. I love books and it's so peaceful in library. My point is find something you enjoy and see if a job can be found there

I have my own business it really helps knowing I control my hours and I’m the boss! God has really blessed this business so I’m still chugging along, I still have massive anxiety at times but do the self talk and say aloud my favorite Bible verses

I want to know this too, currently never had a job and been on disability since I was a kid but I don't get enough money for literally anything independently.
