Need Job assistance

I'm new. I have had major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, and borderline personality disorder. I also have seizure disorder and they are brought on by stress. I am unable to function in the busy workforce, but I need some kind of job to pay the bills. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've applied for clerical jobs, but I am unable to work in a busy environment.

Are you in the United States?

If in USA, you would likely qualify for disability pay. Meanwhile- sites like freelancer and upwork allow you to write or do freelance work. Find a couple of temp to hire businesses in your town or most local region and give them your resume - you might get an office job for a dentist, doctors office, or school or something fairly quiet and if you don't like it you can tell temp agency what else you'd like. Search indeed.com for "remote" or "work from home" jobs. Another thing that can be easier is finding an archiving job (library, govt building, non profit group). I did this and was very quiet - scanning files into computer database. If you can work for a company that needs inside calls / not selling just customer service or appointment setting
