That is a hard: That is a hard one, but i would start with finding a great psychotherapist and psychiatrist. Both the depression and the social anxiety need to lessen to be able to go out to work. Working from home is not a great option since it is hard to do without some structure. If medication can help reduce both disorders psychotherapy can help you look at possible work options.

Agree w past input: There are a number of jobs that can be done from home. But, I think it would be more important to achieve a level of health that would not prevent you from interacting with others or from working. If you are not working with a good therapist & psychiatrist - I would commit to that first. Take care.
