I'm going to get one of those minimum wage jobs this week so I get out of my house. It's my psychiatrist's idea.
Any tips? Is applying in person or online? Random Japanese princess. I'm 20 btw.

Good on your psychiatrist, my part time job is the number one thing that helps with my depression. I sit around for six hours while strangers talk to me and ask me how I'm doing and get paid for it. You feel productive and your coworkers are also cool, nice people your age.
I'd avoid food service, because it can be pretty stressful due to the pacing. A lot of retail positions in your local mall are easy gigs because you're usually two people working a pretty small store.
Bring some resume's to drop off. A lot of places will tell you to apply online, but that's okay. My manager usually meets with anyone who tries to drop off a resume and gets their name so she can look for their online application when it comes in.
Good luck!

One minimum wage job isn't enough to move out. Resume's aren't really necessary for retail jobs or anything that doesn't require actual skill.

Appy online to jobs you could care less if you get, go in and appy in person to the ones you would seriously enjoy and want
You going to want to do this to hide your lack of enthusiasm for the jobs you care less about, and show your enthusiasm for the ones you really do care for

Don't forget to try applying for government jobs. Also, there are tons of secretarial and front desk positions out there that are good paying that aren't that stressful. Good luck out there.

If you're looking to get started a temo agency can be helpful for you.

Holy shit, this. I'm glad I'm not the only one who benefits from having a job in this way.
In regards to resumes, you won't need one for applying to larger chain stores (they'll have either online apps, or physical ones for sure) BUT- applying to local small businesses will be much easier if you have a simple resume to throw at them when you walk in and ask about a job.
I focused my recent job hunt on local places, because they tend to be better quality, employment wise. Much more laid back, more likely to make you full time eventually (at least in the US. A lot of companies here, if you're in an industry that requires no education - retail, food service, etc - will avoid full time employees for financial reasons, unless you move up to management level.)
Google "functional resumes" and throw together a quick, simple one, for those businesses that are small enough to not keep applications on hand. It's worth it.
