[quote=Anonymous]OP, I don’t have the mental health issues you do, but the rest of your story was me 10 years ago. (I know that the mental health issues are making things more challenging so I don’t say that to minimize your experience but more to say I didn’t have that aspect to manage. I found a CS job after graduation, just to support myself. I knew going in that I wasnt going to like it, but it allowed me to support myself, have some money for fun, and didn’t leave large gaps on my resume. I spent my free time volunteering in different fields and exploring careers that I would like better. I transitioned to a new field and was able to leverage the volunteering for references and experience in my new field. It will take some work and being productive in your free time, but you can do it, OP. I feel strongly that anyone can switch careers to different fields. You just have to stitch a story together that makes sense to people. It doesn’t even have to be totally true but needs to make sense to interviewers etc wondering why you’re looking for X jobs with Y background. [/quote]
