    It is possible. But it requires getting help and having a good coping skill that falls within what you can't or can't do with work. Try to find something you really enjoy about work. Not that always will help but it sometimes does for me. Take care of yourself we are here for you

      thank you.

      it seems so hard to find something to stick to, everytime i find something i enjoy, its only a matter of time before it becomes too overwhelming and unbareable

    Janitorial, house cleaning. In the US school district janitorial positions comes with decent pay and great benifits can choose evening hours. Few people and low stress.

    computer jobs. Graphic design. . Data marketing. IT jobs.

    Working with animals. They are in need of overnight shifts as well in shelters, many vet hospitals overnight shifts or any shift. Animals can have a soothing effect on a person. 

    A trade job. Can usually have more control over choosing your hours. Plumber, electrician, oainters, landscaping or mechanic. Hands on and busy jobs not a lot of people interaction.

      Many colleges and universities have online studies too.

      I would also recommend taking an online cbt course. There are many. There is even inline therapy. Work at challenging all this no matter what job you attain. This should not be an accepted lifestyle to feed into anxiety rules.
