How am I supposed to ease myself into working? I've spent 15 years as a shut-in so every time I try to get a job I end up breaking down within 3 days.
I have faith that I could work. But I must find a way to first ease myself into it. I'm still so used to spending all day locked in a room with no social interaction, so suddenly spending 6 hours in a room with other people makes me feel like I'm going to die.
Perhaps if I could first work for an hour a day I could survive. Then over time build up resistance towards breathing the same air as other people. So then I could eventually survive having a longer job.
But I don't know if such a job exists. I think such jobs should exist to give societal leeches like myself a chance to fix themselves.

I was the same way for 10+ years. What helped me get back into work was starting small and doing voluntary work at a small thrift store. The employer was a nice old lady, it was mostly quiet and the customers were usually old people. Best of all my hours and involvement was up to me. I could leave to go home at any time, no pressure. And any small contribution I made was always encouraged and appreciated.

Very cozy and easy way to build up a work ethic. Eventually that same store wanted to hire me for real full time, now I get paid to help manage three of their stores.

Search "remote jobs" on YT.

Do some part-time volunteering to build resilience and skills. Even if it's just a few hours a week. Slowly build up hours until you feel comfortable.

Volunteer places are usually full of kind, caring people.
Volunteer places are often supportive of people who have mental health issues or social issues. They tend to be pretty forgiving if you have some personal issues that might impede you. If you explain your situation to the person in charge, they will often make concessions for you.
They don't expect you to pull crazy hours and they often take on extra hands (beggars can't be choosers). In many places, you can show up whenever you feel like it, and go home whenever you feel like it.
It will help you to build resilience to social exposure, and to being in public places.
It will give you skills for future work.
It will help you to build social skills.
There are many types of volunteer roles. Eg: retail, admin, animal shelters, design, etc...

I started volunteering in op shops when I was a teenager to help me get over my crippling social anxiety. Now I'm in uni and I volunteer at an op shop to keep my CV up to date with semi-recent work. I'm ADHD af and uni is very fucking difficult, but it's nice to help out after a hard week, and see myself doing some good even when I feel like shit about myself. It's good for the mind and soul.

Don't get into remote jobs if you can help it. That shit will only deepen your unhealthy lifestyle and anxieties. You MUST push yourself. You can do it, bro.
