PSA : I'm trying to get a job

[No_Longer_Human]

Just the things are messy rn. And if i get accepted, i try and get overwhelmed and sick. For everyone telling me to get a work as if it's the magical cure for everything

mental health first, listen to therapist also important

She has been trying so hard to survive in the poorest country of the EU, where the mental health system has been grossly under-funded therefore utterly deplorable. Bullying, abandonment, physical/mental disability issues, low-self-esteem, dealing with an alcoholic parent she dearly cares for, and yet, still, achieved her personal best and obtained an above average, advanced, degree.

THANK Youuuu!!!! I really needed this and i need everyone to see it. I'm through so much yet I'm trying my best. I got master's degree but im willing to work even as a cleaner because im constantly denied help and told i just need to work and "not think about my problems". I'm deeply wounded, you described it even better than me, in a poor country, poor country with no mental health care, i can't even call the ER - they say im wasting their time, caring about mom, pushed hard for a degree and still people tell me "just get a job", corrupt labour ministry that wants me to work for free, alcholic mother and runaway father who did insane damage on me, with mental and physical illness

Thank you, i wish i had this opportunity, i litterary get sick mentally and physically, trying to find a job, but everyone is pressing me. See how much replies i have that tell me to get a job. And in my country, they're even more. Also mom is guilt-tripping me

I so understand. In the past I’ve really hurt my mental health and landed myself in the hospital from working stress. I’m actively applying for jobs now only because I feel I could be ready. We will see. You know you best and if you’re not ready yet that’s ok. I wish you the best always.
