...but I cannot think of a job I am capable of. :(

Due to my disabilities, I can't easily walk up and down stairs, crouch for more then a few seconds, kneel for more then a few seconds, can't sit down from the floor and get up easily, can't stand for extended periods of time... I'm quite limited. I'm at school, so I can't work during the day, only weekends and after school. I'm also highly anxious and don't do well in high stress situations. I have very little work experience.

In other words?

There are almost no casual jobs I can do.

In fact, I can't think of any.

I would appreciate any ideas really. I'm completely stuck. :(

Maybe something where you're taking calls or paperwork in the evenings and can sit?

Some call centers look for part-time, casual employees...maybe see what it available in your area?

Apparently, you have computer skills, which is a very good start.

How fast can you type?

Can you talk comfortably on the phone?

What software are you familiar with?

There are companies that will hire people to work from home that are not scams. If you good typing skills, you might be able to get work contracting with a company that does transcription for lawyers and/or doctors.

It's kind of a back door way to do it, but if you sign up at military.com, you get emails that contain a lot of information for military spouses, including work from home jobs, like this one:

Let us know how it goes.
