That sounds like a fun job! If it is something you enjoy, something you really want to do, and something that can help you make money, then it sounds like a great idea. Any decision we make in life comes with risks - the risks will always vary from least to greatest. In this case, it sounds like you're prepared for the risks involved, including potentially negative reviews. Like you suggested, the worst that can happen is poor reviews, which you can use to improve your gaming services and try, try again, until you find something that a lot of people are interested in. That's the nature of business, not really a reflection of who you are as a person. We try in one area, and if that doesn't work for us or for others, we continue to try in a new direction. You can also ask for mentors to help you with this process - mentors, being, those who are in the same line of work that you intend to go in, but who are currently or were previously successful. Mentors can offer you tips specifically for the field that you're interested in, which can increase your success and confidence. Mentors can also be there to help you reflect on what worked, what didn't work, and what you can do to improve an area that didn't work too well. Mentors are also your cheerleaders and helpers in a specific area. Good mentors will meet with you as needed, within limits, such as once ever week or two, or even as little as once a month or once a quarter (hence, the as needed). Good mentors will allow you to communicate via various platforms, and will discuss their expectations and allow you to discuss your expectations repeatedly, not just in the beginning, since mentoring relationships change and grow over time. Good mentors serve as life coaches, and they can help you develop both personally and professionally. You need not tell them anything about your mental illnesses, but you can describe your fears of bad reviews, which they can help you with. Apart from mentors, your therapist or other treatment teams can also help you figure out what psychological and physiological supports you will need to succeed in this line of work, such as work-life balance, telling yourself affirmations, eating healthy meals to keep your energy levels up, taking certain medications that will relieve physical or psychological symptoms while you're working.
I hope these suggestions help.
Also, go for it! See where this leads you! Who knows, you might find that this is a career starter, and you might build from this by building bigger dreams.
