Cashier seem a good one. Easy/some responsability/ some human interaction/ you can listen to music or radio/ read/ internet.

Work in itself can be inherently āstressfulā but it is more in how you perceive that stress to either be a challenge or a negative stressor.
Thereās also stressful situations that are negative
I think repetitive work can be a bit better as it is predictable.

I work as an Amazon route driver, I deliver packages all day. The warehouse is hectic and stressful, but once you start delivering (usually residential), it is easy. The only stress is that I have to deliver all the packages, usually over a 100 per day. I just started the job so itās wearing me out

In my time, Iāve worked as an ABA counselor, a baker, a nanny, a fast food employee, a teacherās assistant, a boom mic operator, an editor, a daycare worker, a cashier, and now Iām a pencil pusher at a local mental health agency. I fully agree with @shutterbug that the quality of a job is entirely dependent on the manager. I loved my bakery job most, because my boss valued my work and gave me consistent raises for my performance. I never even had to ask there, she just told me I was a hard worker and would be making more money every few months.

Being a maid or janitor. Data entry. Office worker. Volunteer. Cashier. Are a few easy jobs I can think of that I have done.
Other jobs Iāve done in the past include back restaurant pizza parlor work (that one was easy), waiting tables, fast food, laundromat work (that one was easy), telemarketing, nursing assisting, and registered nursing.

I think I would really love to be a laundry mat worker. That sounds so warm and cozy.

@ladawn32977, Registered nursing in the acute care hospital setting was extremely difficult and stressful on my sza condition. It was much too difficult for me. Sza adversely affected my good judgement and adversely affected my patient care. It was noticeable by my superiors. It was something I had no control over as it was inherent to my illness. My superiors (the state board of nursing) decided that I was a danger to patients and deprived me of my nursing license in 1993. I still donāt have a license. My present pdoc tells me that nursing is too stressful for someone with my illness (sza).

I think maybe it would be wise. I would hate to see someone go through all that hard work in school and money spent only to not be able to do the job.

Why donāt you try being a peer supprt specialist. The training is only a few weeks and if you do well at that you can try school.
Therapist might suit you.

Where do I get that training at?
In my state the state offers it. Itās about two weeks but you have to fill out an application and itās selective. They only offer it a few times a year. You can google it.
This is the info for my state. Training in my town is this month and is limited to 20 students. There is a link to the application.
I canāt give you any specific answer. An individual can pursue any career they wish, regardless of diagnosis. If the person is receiving treatment and their symptoms are controlled, then the best career option is the one that fits their interests and abilities.
Do you live in Louisiana?
Yes. I live in Louisiana.
They donāt have that training here. I looked up peer support specialist openings and there was one for a family one but itās at the place I get services from. If you work there you canāt get services there.
Look up peer supprt specialist training.
