Has anxiety or other mental health problems stopped you from going to work?

I have really bad social anxiety and for most of my life I've worked online in some capacity. It wasn't until the late 2010s when I actually had a job I had to travel to, and that was the call center job. Never again will I ever work at a call center, as I absolutely hated the anxiety from it. It was bad, that when I got home, I couldn't sleep some nights. The anxiety ate at me. But, while working from home, that anxiety is less of a problem. As if I have an issue, I can take a much needed break whenever I want to. And that's why I work online for a living today. Of course I do need to find more work, but so far so good.
 
Well, the sad reality is the fact that when you are hired and when you have a day job, you tend to work like a slave and when you go through such phases it becomes harder for you to deal with stress. In many cases, many people also suffer from mental trauma as well.
