I don't think there are any particular jobs that someone with mental illness should automatically exclude. Like any challenge we have in life, the illness is something to be dealt with, and sometimes stepping out beyond your comfort zone can be the best medicine even though it is not easy or comfortable. It is how you learn that you can do so much that you have told yourself you "can't" do. I had a long career in a stressful profession, my mental health issues did alter the course of my work but I would change little & now am trying to adjust to 'retirement' and the freedom to do things I want to do for myself. And, as when I was young, I find, again, it is worthwhile to push myself out of my "safe" space and find that I can enjoy the freedom, and occasional joy this brings.
