Maybe I can help, maybe not. When I was younger, I would hold a job for a few years then have a breakdown (physical and mental) and leave. It was a retail job and no real way to hide my issues so I think it wasn't at all a good, long term job solution for me. In my mid 20's I got a job which was primarily data entry. These jobs can be found without need of degrees, but having your degree will be impressive for sure. The good news is, I had a cubicle I could "hide out" in. At first I was in a corner for a few years and it really felt safe in there. I could cry and nobody would see "usually". Sometimes they did. I was able to stay at that job for more than 10 years and had my physical issues not gotten the best of me...I would have retired from there I'm sure. Having a cubicle of my own to feel safe and protected in...my own space to decorate in ways that brought comfort, pictures of my loved ones I could look at all day was really helpful. People still couldn't help themselves and would come to my cube with their negative energies, attitudes and insults but they didn't stay long and soon I would be alone in there and could decompress. Just something to consider.

Disability might be an option. If you have your doctors support you could also try school part time or online and work towards a career you could do from home, even when very unwell as long as you are self motivated. Good luck to you. I know how hard it all is and how bad you probably feel for not being able to do what most people take for granted as doable. You will find your way, just remember you deserve help.
