Has anyone had any success finding a job they like that compensates well through vocational training/rehabilitation?

I have several mental disabilities that significantly impact my ability to work most low-skills jobs, which is pretty much the only real way for me to make money since I’m 17 and I dropped out of high school. My Therapist’s recommendation was for me to do vocational rehab so I can get help finding a job because of the connections a vocational counselor may have. I have worked one job so far in my life and during that 2 months of part-time working I was so stressed out that I had about 4 1-hour long panic attacks at work, and would work myself so hard that I couldn’t sleep when I got home without taking about 3 times my clonidine dosage. I know this isn’t some dramatic post or whatever but I really need some advice and insight on what to do, thanks.
