I am 30 years old now. About 12 years ago I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. It sort of built up during high school, and hit its peak when I started college. I ended up dropping out of college because I was mentally breaking down. I was a high achiever before the illness, so this is very frustrating. A few years later, I took a different media course at the college. I ended up doing very well, but unfortunately it didn't lead to a job. Since then, I've been working a low wage job. My entire family is putting heavy pressure on me to get a stable, higher paying job. So, I've been teaching myself web development. My aim was to get a web development job with a local company. I am in extreme anxiety about the prospect of getting a more advanced job. I am afraid I won't meet their standards, and I'll get fired. I know many people here recommend freelancing as a side hustle, but I do really need a stable income right now. As far as a business, I have 0 ideas.
I honestly think a web development job would help me. I need a stable income and I'm in high pressure from my family. So far, I've created about 5 front-end projects for my portfolio, that I believe are of high quality. I'm not sure where to go from here. What do I need to know before I apply for a front-end development job? How do I know I'm ready for this next step?
I feel stuck and I need some help.
