I quit one job because of anxiety/stress and took some time off. When I went back to work, I took a less stressful job for a while, just to get my confidence back. Then I worked myself into a position similar to the one I left but with a better work environment.

For me, it wasn't that the type of work wasn't right. It was just that I lost my footing so to speak and needed to step back, do something with less stress and then move forward.

So, if you accept a position that isn't in your field, you can at the same time be looking for something that is, working toward that goal. Maybe you'll find that great job in your field or maybe you'll discover something entirely different that you hadn't anticipated but feels right. Keep an open mind.

Glad you have a counselor to help. I needed one when I was where you are. Best wishes :-)
