I might start out with a volunteer job so that there's no pressure if you find that you're not yet ready to be out in the work force. If you do well at that, then you can transition into a part time pay job. Me, I work a day to a day and a half a week. It's good for me to get out of the house, but it totally stresses me out and drains me, so I need the rest of the week to recover. Sometimes I do get bored, but really, if I can focus, there's so much I can be doing here to improve my life, like reading self-help books, taking piano lessons, writing creatively, painting, sculpting, etc. I get too anxious some days to do any of those things, but there's always PC where you can get immediate support for your anxiety, depression, etc. In other words, you are bored, but tackling a job might not be the right solution just yet. See if you can make deals with yourself and follow through with them first. Like, "I will get out of bed at 9 am and go and do..." whatever. If you can't get out of bed for a planned activity from the night before, maybe you won't be able to get up for a job. Just a thought for how to build up to passing a more demanding test. You know yourself best though, so if any of my advice doesn't suit you, forget about it.
