Most jobs come from networking these days so I recommend volunteering for peer befriending or something like that. There is training where you will meet new people, you are giving your time for something you have some interest and experience in (repetitive 9to5 drudge isn’t good for mental wellbeing) and you add new skills and references to your resume. You are still around after experiencing the emotions that got this conversation rolling. Helping someone else keep to even that level of functioning is a rewarding experience.
It certainly has helped me not be trapped in the house with a shouty drunk person to come home and think I helped someone today. Shouty drunk person you are wrong. I have some value to society 😛
These are exactly the sorts of attitudes employers like to see.
Take a look at what skills you do have (writing, digital tech experience etc) and see who needs it.
Also think of what you’d like to be paid for doing and see if someone needs it done for free.
The best customer feedback comes from people who need something and someone gives it to them.
