i’m currently a student at a community college and live with my parents. im also unemployed right now and have been living off savings and my parents for the past 6 months. i’ve worked a few minimum wages jobs but have had to quit them due to my mental health. i’m terrified to work again because i constantly feel like im not good enough at my job, i get overwhelmed easily (especially with people), and also have issues with depression. however, i also know i can’t live with my parents forever and need to make some money. i’m constantly beating myself up over being unemployed and it makes me so anxious. does anyone else struggle with this?

      @loosely_k yes!! I have also done a lot of comparing, and it is a thief of joy. One thing I started saying to myself is, "This is MY story. No one else is living my life."

      I have also had a really hard time keeping a job, especially the last 5 years. It's rough, but I would like to encourage you to be kind to yourself. Kick out the bullies inside your head. Life is hard enough. Things will get better. Believe it, and take one day at a time. Celebrate your wins, no matter how small. 💕

        @CameronElizabeth thank you ! it can be discouraging, especially when the people around u seem to be doing well compared to myself. however, they’re not me, therefore i cannot compare myself to them ❤️
