The Perennial Sam

Upon becoming enrolled as a student with a disability at my academic institution, I was given a folder with various resource materials inside.  jobpostings magazine was one of the featured resources included.

jobpostings focuses on helping students with disabilities to find full- and part-time work.  It is also useful to non-students, with articles covering topics that are important regardless of age, such as when it is (or is it?) appropriate to tell your employer about your disability.  This is sometimes referred to as offering your employer full disclosure.

One thing I found encouraging was that there were many full-page ads for employment placed by banks and other large institutions.  Flexibility may be one of the most important factors in your job search if you are a person who struggles with stress and anxiety.  Larger places of employment are more often able to offer you accommodations if you need them in order to succeed, and usually offer benefits, which are crucial for those of us who have long term health issues.
