I have had anxiety problems, particularly anxiety about my health for about 14 years now, and I haven't worked for about 10 years. (I also have social anxiety and general anxiety)

All of a sudden, after about 8 years of not even caring about work, I feel like I want to work again. I had a dream about someone from high school, and then I woke up and realised that I was fooling myself by thinking I had a life.

I still have strong anxiety at times, just the other day I was in bed all day and I had to take a Valium to fall asleep.

Nevertheless I feel that maybe with the right job I could work around my anxiety. For example if I started working for myself, or if I worked casually, or if I worked at a volunteer role.

I have even considered studying something online, although I've always been a bad student. I procrastinate at everything, unfortunately.

I'm sick of living with regret I guess. My regret is not just about my lack of work life, I really tend to avoid anything and everything.
