I have some suggestions.....if you can volunteer some of your services..others will get a look at you and may have suggestions for employment. The place you volunteer with may even want to pay you eventually. Let them see what you are capable of getting accomplished - without telling them the details of you mental health situation.

I dog sat for families for extra $ while looking for ways to make $ ... I love dogs so I always looked forward to it.

If you are up to it...attend any kind of "meet ups" (search for groups on the computer).

There were those days that I did not feel like going anywhere...but I was always happy after I got there and was engaged.

Those experiences helped me become more creative.

The work I do now I found through a group with people that are in "career transition".

I started out making $300 a week....I grew to love what I was doing. I make more now but I still struggle financially. But this is one of the rare times in my life that I love what I do. I do not have too much going on in other aspects of my live. In general I am much happier.

Somebody needs your services - but, they are not going to drop on your doorstep...
get out there and show them you abilities.

Others may have ideas as well.
