I am not a professional and I am probably not qualified to be an amateur either. I suggest taking a job that you could practically do blindfolded. Maybe it's "Taco Bell" or maybe it's pushing CMS content during the "grave yard" shift. The idea is to have something you can handle with the lowest possible stress triggers as possible. Perhaps this job is part time and you augment the rest of it with welfare or disability.

With all this in mind, you code at your own pace on your own free time. Pick a subject you like and master it. Take your time and relish in all the details. Become a virtual "Stephen Hawking" in the subject. With mastery comes accomplishment, confidence and self esteem and you are doing what you love

Also, I suggest exercise, it takes care of the fight or flight stuff or makes you more apathetic towards stress. YMMV.

I hope this helps, be well!
