Whenever I try to work, my anxiety and stress levels go up a notch. I hate being bossed around, being told what to do and etc. I'm the kind of strong and independent woman, who doesn't take orders from anymore. Also with my other mental and physical health issues, it doesn't help me at all personally in a workplace. I'm totally and 100% dysfunctional and depressed and seriously tired after a few hours of work.

I get easily stressed too. I like Gibby's idea, something to consider. Self-employment is better for a lot of people.
See I would be the other way around. I can see myself getting more stressed by being self-employed than I would by simply being employed. The stress of knowing I had no safety-net and such would push me to my breaking point. I do get your point though @Naiwen, I've recently taken on some additional responsibility at work due to my manager leaving and it's getting stressful. The additional workload, increased meetings and everything else are just over the top. Once I wrap my head around it and figure out a productive way to manage it all, it'll be fine. That initial burst though is tough!
What would like to do if you were to go self-employed Naiwen?

I dunno.
You are in luck /Naiwen
These days, work from home is so common. You need not even need to step out of your door to learn courses, attend exams, interviews or do a job. As for getting uncomfortable while at work, there are many methods to get out of it. The best one finding decent friends online and have a little chat for 5-10 minutes. Even people with a no-difficulty condition gets exhausted. It is simply human.
Take your mind off to anything that you can relax and get back to whatever work you chose to do.

I had a lot of deadline related stress in the past. And that happens few times a year. I think it also depends on most of the time how the health conditions have been so far. But overall I think those ups and down happen too. But if you learn to be more assertive that approach definitely helps long term.
