As someone with similar problems, I found that working from home only helped for a time and then I soon became too isolated, and depressed again. What did help was finding a part-time job working in the charity sector - specifically one that dealt with mental health problems. They were more sympathetic when I went through bad phases plus my own experience was useful for the job (helped me to empathise with people we helped).
(For a an interesting article on the subject, try searching "can going freelance help manage depression?" on Google).
To be honest, the only people I know who make a half decent living working from home are those who have a specialty - and they use that to do freelance work (such as a web designer, or someone who can teach online). I do wonder if there are any opportunities for you to teach law or business from home? Might be worth exploring. It may well be that you need to do a completely different sort of job and that will actually help you to stay healthier (that's certainly what I found - I left office work completely; best thing I ever did).
I also know someone in her 40s whose had mental health problems since her teens. She became too ill to finish her degree and was a bit lost for years, but she now works as an advocacy officer for one of the major mental health charities (she originally did it as a volunteer and was trained by them). Just an example.
Hope some of the above is helpful (sorry if it's not). Good luck.0 -
Hi Corona thank you for your response.
Hmmm yes a change is definitely in order. working in the hospitality sector is defo not the way forward for me.
i have worked from home before with various roles and they have suited me. lead generators, consultancy etc. I am better working alone.
I know what you mean about isolation but doesnt seem to effect me as i try and get out and about still. I just cant function in a face to face social environment when im going through a bad time and most businesses havent got time for it.
Charity work is appealing but would need to pay ok. I know what you mean about your friend im in my 30s and feeling lost and the need to start again. Definitely couldnt do any more study...
Will have a look at that article.
Thanks for your comments

I think you can earn a good amount from CPA networks. If you are a newbie, I will recommend you to join WOWtrk. They are based in UK and having a good conversion ratio.0
