I've been struggling with anxiety and depression for several years now, and finally got to a point where I can take care of myself day to day.

But i'm still looking to start earning some income to pay for living expenses and therapy, but I can't seem to find something that's not full time and long term. (Especially when looking for something higher than minimum wage)

Anybody have tips on where to find jobs or projects like this? (My background is in software engineering, but I'm willing to do anything, perhaps even more interested in options that don't require too much computer work)

You may be interested in traffic control jobs? They are casual and outside which may help with your life and rhythm Like this one https://www.seek.com.au/job/73820455?tracking=SHR-AND-SharedJob-anz-1

If it's too much of a commitment, school crossing guards can be nice for 4 hours a day - get outside and see kids

    Might be a good option. I would have to protect myself though, I burn so fast standing outside. Does this require a white card?
