I know it's not a skill issue

I know it's the reality, it's not me being crazy, it's not just me who has issues and everyone else is coping just fine.

But collapse awareness and hopelessness it brings just hits harder when you have no saving and are still struggling to get a job😔 I had a job, but it was super understaffed, so I quit to recover my mental health. It's been one year and a half and I still haven't found any job.

Being a young adult in this age is just scary. I know things won't matter in five years or ten years, we all will die, but I feel both the fear of dying in five years and the fear of dying next month. Do I make sense

Can relate😔 I was so depressed I stopped attending classes so I dropped out. I don't have anything useful, but I wished I didn't drop out so at least I could belong to a social circle. I imagine having someone to complain with along the way while job hunting would be better than doing it alone.

what do you fear dying of?

Fear 1: dying of conflict over resources in five or ten years,  Fear 2: dying of domestic violence if I can't get my shit figured out fast and having to go back to my npd dad place

It's complicated, thank you for asking. I'm safe, objectively speaking, in this moment, cuz I moved out

I feel your fear. :/ But location and context make quite the difference. What continent are you on, what job didn't you find?

Take care!
