My #Daydream seems like a #nightmare

I have a #Daydream where I find the right #Job and lose my #unemployment and work 40 hours a week. It sounds like a #nightmare because a 40 hour work week is #scary for me. It takes away so much time from #Selfcare and #Recovery that it brings me to a point of #tears .

I began to do the whole #comparing myself to others and #Wondering why I could not be like another. I truly feel #helpless whenever I become #jobless

It is difficult for me to find a #Job that can work with a #Disability and not feel #stigmitized by my #employer secretly. I feel like I am this cat in the photo, in my own #World where everything around me is just blowing up. It is not that I do not #Care anymore, but it is that there is only so much I can do. I might as well take normal pictures along the way and try to be as #normal in my #Abnormal world possible.

Perhaps a "vocational" center will be #helpfull in finding a #Career rather than just a job... But I do not know how much #Stigma exists. I suppose I am just #afraid and at the same time #Brave for keeping applying and trying.

Wish me #luck !

Coping with food.

Does anyone else find the pleasure of food a good way to cope with pain? Finding food to be very comforting this week. Trying not to beat myself up about stuffing my face because it's really bringing me a lot of joy.

Sometimes

#Anxiety is fun. Thank God it's about 85% improved on meds. Most of the time it's fine, even with a cup of coffee, maybe two. And sometimes it keeps you awake for no reason. Or because you have an interview the next day. I can't wait until I have a new job and am settled in. Work is stressful, but #unemployment isn't better. Add #Depression and #neurodivergence , and I just want a comfortable routine back.

This period of #unemployment is not good for my #Recovery

Thanks to those who read my essay about the discrimination I experienced at work. I am entering my sixth month of being unemployed, and I’m feeling really downtrodden. I’ve been able to secure interviews, in fact I’ve had several multi-round interviews, but I’ve yet to land something. The whole experience is causing me to doubt my capabilities and question my potential. On top of that, I’m still recovering from the toxic workplace that terminated me. Any words of encouragement would be appreciated.

Unemployed + Broke

My student allowance ends in a week- which helped to pay my rent, bills and to bascially live. Every job I apply for either never gets back to me, or I get declined. Jobs usually take like a fortnight to get back to people or just don’t.... so I’m Fcuked. Makes me want to crawl into bed and hide from the world.... but nooo I can’t... cause I need a job. + having hardly any friends to talk to... makes life AMAZING RIGHT NOW 🥳 #Work #Depression #unemployment #Homeless #money

I’m 26, I never had a job before. I get severe anxiety when my parents tell me to do certain tasks. How will I ever be employed if I’m always anxious?

I’m severely anxious to even drive. I don’t have a license and I always doubt I’ll ever have any independence in my life. (This election is making my anxiety even worse)

Do you experience employment FOMO?

It's nearing two years that I impulsively quit my job (to save myself and my health) and I haven't been able to find a job since then. Does anyone else have that FOMO around not working? #fomo #unemployment #MentalHealth #Quit #Work
