Try upwork.com. I don't think it's mandatory to disclose your mental illness there, is it?

  Upwork.com and other sites are in favor of the client, who can refuse to pay or reverse the credit card charge. I'd read horror stories about those freelance sites on Reddit where most clients don't pay or use a refund to get free work. Plus you have to compete with people in a third world nation who work for under minimum wage and can under bid you. I tried some freelance sites and they even charge you fees to bid on projects.

    Basically the idea is to get some recent work into your portfolio, and by the time you've completed the fifth React website of the year, upwork and good hourly rate be damned, you'd have a much easier time to find a good paying gig. I worked my way up from $25 to $100 per hour in about a year doing this. Take up low quality gigs, and then use them as a springboard to jump onto less lower quality gigs. Rinse and repeat until you're doing the kind of gigs you'd like to do. Life is full of horrors, we can live it or stay at home. It's our choice.
