How to find a temporary job / part time job while you are recovering from depression/anxiety? (self.autism)
submitted 9 months ago by NationProtons to c/autism

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)

Supermarket distribution centres. Not good long term as you will inevitably feel it after years, but great pay and you're left to your own devices most of the time.

Does this require some experience with forklifts or something?

Not when I was doing it. Just go in with the attitude that it is a means to an ends, and turn up sober and on time and they'll be stoked to have you.
