Does your ability to earn a living, affect your mental health?

Yes, I'm considering employment, but I'm on disability (now Medicare) because I probably
can't do any job for very long. I'm not exaggerating. My relative was obsessed with horoscopes, and she often told me that the nice appearance of where I would work was more important to me than how high the salary I was paid would be.
(She was wrong. LOL. But, it's interesting.) Anyway, I can't work unless I can take plenty of breaks (something to do with Asperger's) and what employer would tolerate that?

You might be surprised in todays new world, a lot of people are working from home online. The lady who lives across the street from me works from home. She loves it because there is much less distraction from co-workers. Many companies now have people working remotely. It is important to be honest about being self motivated and if you are not, this might not be a good fit, but I have found a more independent work suits me very well.
What kinds of work have you enjoyed, and how can you relate that to new kinds of work? Right now everyone needs help, have you considered any jobs?
