Not sure if this is the best place to ask

I’ve been out of work for two years due to mental health. I am terrified to get back into the real world but I’m tired of struggling. Has anyone gone through this as well? What helps you cope?

That's tough. Totally get that returning to the workforce is probably daunting, but you're right that it might be a welcome distraction. This article may be helpful: https://fairygodboss.com/articles/depression-and-anxiety-at-work ..and also, try to think about what kinds of work environments/jobs might be best for you. You can research companies on Fairygodboss to get a sense of what their culture is like, what kind of work-life balance employees have, etc. Remember that you should be interviewing companies as much as they're interviewing you to ensure that you end up at a place that's a good fit for you. Good luck!!
