Unfortunately due to previous extensive job history and other factors, it is rather difficult for me to find and keep a standard 9 to 5 job. Right now I work as a Full-time independent contractor for both Uber and Doordash delivering food in a major metropolitan area by bike. Some days are good, other days are absolutely shit. Regardless, it pays the rent and bills.

Yes, I work from home. Thank god for the pandemic!!! God, I wish it was more accepted to work from home, but it's getting more common at least. My job is very unremarkable. My mental health is shit, but I feel so grateful for the job. Without any job or money, I would be in huge trouble because I'm from a poor family/country. I suck at my job and sometimes I can barely work, but at least it's there.
Off topic sorry:
Can you elaborate on the programming course you did? We're you able to find a job in the industry

I found a job programming for Flutter and Android apps. Very easily.
The course I did was Python for everybody with Dr Chuck.

I have a job and I'm going to school full-time. Being constantly busy helps keep my mind occupied and keeps me on track. If I don't have somewhere to be I just stay asleep in bed all day, 'cuz I don't have the motivation to do anything. My job is really nice though, I work as an A/V tech for sports games, which can be really loud, but I'm essentially paid to sit and do nothing each shift while I watch sports in the background. Though for some reason, I'm looking to get a second job, because I'm insane I want to make sure I can still pay for my apartment. The American economy is my biggest fear.

No I'm a contractor and looking for work now. The contract market at the moment is awful
I work part-time and I'm glad I do. Even working part time feels like having barely enough time for myself. Plus my job can be emotionally draining (although I generally like it) and it would probably completely destroy me, if I worked full time. Even as it is, I often need to remind myself that I only need to live like this for a certain amount of time in order to save money and then I can quit, if I'm too fed up with it and enjoy again plenty of time doing outdoorsy stuff and/or travelling.

I have a job that I love, but management that I hate. It's challenging, at best.

Oh I work alright, and it's one of the main reasons I've even found myself on this board.
It's a job that drains me, and if I could quit I would but the ammount of problems that would arise from that would just hurt me more...

to be honest getting a job was the best thing i ever did for my mental health LMFAO, being on a nice constant schedule everyday just feels amazing, and knowing that i get paid for it too and im happy with the arrangment. its gotten to the point where i feel kind of lost when we get holidays off, im just fidgeting because theres nothing to DO and it kills me LMFAO

Yeah.
i don't really mind I just try to shut off my brain and do my little tasks and my job and try not to get in trouble.
Need the money and need to feel useful

i wish i could find the energy to work again but i can barely get up the stairs without having heart palpitations. the only time i worked rather effectively was when i was 16-18 at the beginning of my mental downfall and on adderall.
