Any ideas or suggestions? Scared to go back to work after trauma

I hope this would be the right page to post to. I’ve considered posting for awhile, but opening up and asking for help can be hard. Basically I haven’t worked for almost a year now. It all started late last year when I got a corporate job that I thought would change my life, but instead caused me immense stress and made my depression/anxiety sky rocket.

I know I’m very lucky to not have to go out and find any job I can get in order to support myself. I’m young still (lol I think, 26F) and have a lot of support from my parents and partner. But now that I’ve healed and grieved I’m eager to be around people and make some money. But also at the same time I’m terrified to enter back into a bad workplace.

Does anyone have any tips. Are there any good ways to make income online/remote. Everything like that seems to be a scam.
