I second this. (Well, except for the freelance writing thing; that seems better to do as a side thing on sites like Upwork and such.) Or something which would enable you to work in a very calm environment without much chaos. I think there are some careers in the medical field that are like that, but many likely require having a four-year degree to start out with. (Being an x-ray technician or something seems like it'd be nice for a chronically anxious person) Aside from maybe phlebotomy I suppose. But everyone already knows this I'm sure. Depressed and anxious people who have less than ideal job situations have already researched these things pretty thoroughly, I would assume. I for one am excellent at spending hours and hours at a time tirelessly researching things and making plans with bullet points and all, and then.. forgetting to do all the things.
(I need to do the same since, although I do have plenty of caretaking experience and tend to end up with those sort of jobs, I'm not really officially certified in anything. I, too struggle with a horrendous memory which I think would make certain career paths less than ideal for Bat and whoever else has similar issues. I like the idea of being a hospice CNA but I would probably end up accidentally killing someone or mixing up their meds)
