An update. I volunteer at the public library for a couple hours a week, and I was talking with a library aide. She told me that from time to time the library posts jobs as a library aide, for 19 hours a week. The job is not stressful, and the people are cool to work with.
I think I'm actually going to try this. I have good qualifications for the job, and even though it doesn't pay much, I'll put in for it and see what happens. I can't work 40 hours a week, no way, but I am willing to gamble 19 hours. At worst, the symptoms begin kicking up and I have to quit and fall back on disability. This whole idea is a shake of the dice, because I know for certain that working to deadlines causes my symptoms to flare. But the library might be a good bet.
I'll post again if I manage to get this job.
