I have never had a job that improved my mental health, not once. And I am actually very privileged in general. Jobs have been net negative for my health, even with regular therapy.

having a job improved my mental health compared to not having one and worrying about money.

Volunteering in the community may help with that.

I have but only for the length of the initial honeymoon period. Once the new and shiny wears off, every job has been a net drag on my mental well-being or at best- inconsequential to my overall mental health.

In hindsight, had I stuck out the ones that felt inconsequential for a little longer, then I’m sure those would have been a drag as well
