I had a pretty strong depression for the last 2-3 years and had to drop out of uni and had no perspective and goals anymore. Now I found a job at a supermarket and I am so happy. I realise it is probably an easy step for most people, finding a minimum wage job that doesnt require previous knowledge, but it was a big step for me and I finally feel like my life is moving forward again. Just wanted to share this since I know there are probably others here that struggle with mental health, as a reminder that however shitty your life may seem, there will always be a time when things will get better. Just take baby steps at a time. Never give up.
Congratulations!
It’s a pretty big deal, in this economy. I went for years without a job, got a min wage, and within two months, the funding for that organization was cut. The super was newly promoted and power tripping, too, so I was glad to get away, but upset because we all need incomes, right? Three months later I started another job at almost double the money, but got less than ten hours a week and it’s physically demanding AF. Two and a half months later, my hours more than doubled, I’d just picked up a few more and was injured. It’s pretty serious, but not as serious as I’d feared, apparently. I’ve been out of work for a month.
yeah i would probably have all my stuff being taken away or go to prison if i didnt start getting money now
I’m glad that didn’t happen. Keep the faith (in yourself if nothing else) and keep pushing.
