Yeah, jobhunting is hell and you aren't alone at this. Just keep checking and applying, eventually you'll be employed! Good luck with this!
It's cool that in some places mental support is so accessible! We were checking for a psychiatrist for my GF recently and holy cow they're expensive! We're going for them anyway ofc.
Problems are unavoidable but at least we can prepare for them. I wish someone could explain this to me back when I was at school, instead of fearmongering me daily that I will be kicked out and die on streets.
I don't think you're fucked at all. Your life situation like that for a reason, and that reason can be treated and fixed. I mean, I don't know your situation so I can't really say for sure but I believe you'll be able to deal with it.
Supportive people are of a huge help, whether online or IRL. It may be hard to befriend people and keep the friendship but it'll possibly be the hardest step to make, as the next ones will be done with others.
I also find it helpful to keep some hopeful and affirming media around, for times when my mental issues cause me to fail. E.g., rewatching some Bocchi the rock episodes help me cope with anxiety when it leads me to fail something important.
Therapy can also be an option but it costs money so I can't say if it's an option for you.
I'm not from the eagle country either (though not in a better place) and by being quite close with my femme relatives I've seen this shit happen on many occasions.
It's almost never polite, it's never "well I think that would be better". Oftentimes the "advice" is done with an insult, e.g. by comparing a woman to a prostitute.
Usually they're just strangers who has no business telling her how she should dress. And yes, if it was a woman saying this it would still be equally bad. But it's rarely a woman, 99% of the time it's a man.
Yeah, the premise that all men must be ignored is bad but it's the emotional response that often develops after yet another such an idiot opens his mouth.
Yes, puppyboys ftw!!
