How do you find a good fit career wise?

I'm 28 and you'd think I'd have a sense of what I'm good at/what I'm capable of/what I enjoy and what I cannot stand, but, no, not really. Even further I don't know how exactly to align what I do know to find a source of income that is legal and won't worse my mental health struggles (bipolar, BPD, PTSD, ADHD) (maybe I could use those to an advantage, or use a job to help symptoms out?).

General advice is what I'm going for, but for bonus points I'll list some of what other people say are my strengths/weaknesses that have some validity and some background.

Strengths: Told I "ooze with creativity," learn new skills quickly (have trouble getting further than "slightly above average for anyone who's been interested in whatever this skill is" level though), generally good with people**, adaptable (not so much in a scheduling manner, but in a general "ay, do you think you could do something that's not really your job today?" sense (I actually kinda like that because it's a change)), open-mindedness, empathy, people say I'm overall "smart" but I'm not all too sure on that one.
**it really depends on the situation. I'm pretty likeable, but I get impatient under a lot of stress or when pressed for time and a lot of "bedside manner" goes to the wayside. Shyt to do people!

Weaknesses: easily bored, hard time committing, hard time planning ahead, not super confident, impulsive, not super into rules or repetition, need flexibility with time (I'm in assertive community treatment so I have a lot of appointments and have to meet people every day for meds), not super focused/motivated/organized, I feel rushed to get things done so I make a lot of mistakes if I don't consciously slow myself down.

Other: I can be a good leader, if I know I'm the most competent (or at least can play that part). I'm pretty good at communicating through writing and on better days I do the talking bit well too but those are hard to come by. I'm pretty emotional, and I know that can be a weakness sometimes and a strength in other situations, so there's that too.

I'm willing to do a program/get education to find something, but I don't want to, say, spend $100,000, be lucky enough to land a job, but, haha plot twist, that job can't pay rent.

Sorry if this comes out discombobulated.

First you have to figure out how much money you need to live? We did this by finding a couple of homes and diving the sale prices by 3. So we need to make 92k between the 2 of us. Which is about $22/hr full time. You can also do rent times 36.

Next list your hobbies

Then your restrictions ie. I have to work remotely

Now you're educational budget:
Full Pell is around 7k x 6 years
State aid
How much you can put towards it a month?
That's your yearly budget

Then if need be add federal loans of 9.5k

Now you take how fast you want to complete it
2 years, 4 years, 6 years...

______________________________________________
Here's how my search went

Income 45k part time or $44/hr

Hobbies: art, research, helping people, technology, video games, cartoons, puzzles

Restrictions: part time, remote, dislike talking to new people, can't handle normal school.

Educational budget $6k over the course of 2 years. Or $250 a month. So the price of community college. Most people's budget
Is around $2k a month or higher

Fields of study computer and/or art.

Graphic design < not enough money/ not remote $18.27
Game Design < not remote $18.56
Animation < to much team work $40
Web design < sounds boring $25
Ux design < yes $53.94
Programming < stressful/ math $50.41
Game development < math $52.15
Ux researcher < too peoplee $54.38
Case manager < not high enough income $22.55

So now I have a major ux design

Now I look for ways to cut costs: Scholarships, third party credits, life experience, portfolio, testing and do them.

Then I look at local and state public schools.
Then regionally accredited schools
Then apply to all.
Wait for financial aid package.
Pick the best school
Apply for university scholarships.

I hope that makes sense. There's also a program called youscience if you have no idea about where your hobbies fit your career.

My suggestion, since it sounds like you're starting from zero or close to it would be to find an employment agency that can maybe help you do some career exploration to figure out what you might be good at, and then help you figure out what if any training you need to get it. Up here in Canada these are usually non-profits or government agencies. there are some agencies that work specifically with people with mental health concerns or addictions and the tailored help can be useful.

Community colleges give tests like the Interest Inventory. I took it in the late 70s and it suggested comedian (and 6 or so other things), which was NOT on my bingo card AT ALL at the time. I mean, i didnt even KNOW i was funny. That kind of involved a whole coming-out process.

So i highly recommend that. They are also available online. It used to be called The Strong Campbell Interest Inventory. It matches your responses to the answers of people who have different occupations. like would you rather wash chemistry beakers or i forget the other choice, but boy those beakers stuck in my mind, 50 years later!
