Riya, I wish you resilience, and thank you for your endeavors!
I suffer from BPD too, and want you to know: what you do matters!

Though I’m not sure about the answer to your question, lest helping you get a job, while struggling with it on my own, you may search the next materials and maybe seek advice there:
- “Psy for EA” Facebook group
- High-Impact Psychology
- EA Psychology Research
  - They’ll have an Introductory Seminar for Early Career Researchers in early 2024.
  - Also, you can apply to work with them
- Go through Effective Thesis materials
  - Subscribe to their newsletter for job updates (and more) or look directly at their board
  - Apply for their coaching
  - Find
    A supervisor
    Funding
    Thesis topics (1, 2)
    Research agendas
    etc.
- Subscribe to 80,000 Hours’ job board and EA Opportunity Board
  - 80k’s Mental Health problem profile
  - Apply for their coaching
- Look at Happier Lives Institute and their “Work with us” page / their recommendations / subscribe to their newsletter.
  
  Hope some of it helps!

It’s a great table, Joe. I (and the EA world) lacked it :)

I suggest adding such skills: “Graphic design”, “Illustration”, “Facilitation”
And I would love to help you edit the table!
