Customer service over the phone, Starbucks, YouTube, book editing (basically proofreading), secret shopping, human resources, insurance sales, painting, jewelry repair, janitor, package handler/porter, pet watcher, sell vector art, 3d modeling, Webcam model, the manager at the supermarket who gave me the evil eye after I told the cashier I didn't need him to put the "paid" stickers on every single item in my cart the other day, freelance ghostwriter (on fiverr), screen printing shop, local dpw or pretty much any job with the government.

@rosex-x What fantastic advice. Animals are always thankful to have us around and a pleasure to work with. Avoiding situations where consumers are very hostile and angry at times is probably a good choice.  I do think you need to put yourself in a place where there are people and you do have some responsibility because that will likely make you proud of yourself when you accomplish some of the job related goals

I would say web design so that you can work at home—no equipment or worries about other people's safety. Maybe do some coding online until you enjoy the work. Don't sign up for jobs for jobs that pay the big bucks right away. You need to do something slow pace job coding like making Roblox games for money. After that, try working in a slow pace environment that pays little, but you handle it. And when you enjoy the work, you can go for the big bucks.

Change your diet and stop eating dairy and meat because that causes depression. Eat your veggies every day because they really help keep your energy up and help reduce depression.

The chicken and dairy taste better, but they make you feel like shit all the time. A lot of vegetables taste like ass, but I haven't dealt with depression in two years of only eating vegetables.

If they taste too nasy, just put them in a blender and drink them.

No judgement here, as I do have both of these but you can’t let these aspects control your life. You need to find yourself outside of these aspects and find a proper fit for you. Apply to different jobs and put yourself out there to find a job. You will simply not strive in anything if you let these gets the best of you

Uhh.. one outdoors. One with pets. One where they help rebuild things for less fortunate or so.

Any rebuilding of public areas that had to be closed down. (Like community cleaning).

Any job with animals.

They need rays/ to feel helpful/ and interact with the purity of animals to help catalyst them back into a decent and healthy conversation with other people.

I work with preschool age children and I think it helps with depression and anxiety because when you’re around the children it brings out your inner child. You’re imagination and creativity come alive, your mind is on the health and well being of the children that whatever’s going on in your personal like isn’t on your mind.

Something distracting but you enjoy would probably be best. Going too boring would only contribute to the problem, I would imagine.

It doesn't so much matter what job you do, you just need a really supportive environment. One where you don't have to deal with random members of the public.
