I’ve been struggling with anxiety and depression for several years now, and finally got to a point where I can take care of myself day to day.
But i’m still looking to start earning some income to pay for living expenses and therapy, but I can’t seem to find something that’s not full time and long term. (Especially when looking for something higher than minimum wage)
Anybody have tips on where to find jobs or projects like this? (My background is in software engineering, but I’m willing to do anything, perhaps even more interested in options that don’t require too much computer work)
Goodwill stores, at least where i live, are good for people in shaky situations. More accepting of people with special needs, circumstances. Mention cuz, not the type of work you’re looking for… for me, been out of work so long (8 years), me getting a p/t job at goodwill, committing, proving i can keep it, it’s the only way better paying jobs will take me seriously.
Would like the 75k per year tech job I had b4 becoming homeless. But have to be realistic, start small.
I had a 38k tech job as a generalist before I got fired and moved in with toxic family to avoid being homeless. I feel some of your pain. Hope things get better for you.
