Last year I was employed at a decent paying job with good benefits, doing work that mattered. Now I’m seven months unemployed, out of benefits and still getting ghosted by employers. Most everything else has remained the same (no friends, uncertainty with my gender and how I want to live my life, stuck living with my mom) except that I started seeing a therapist ~10 months ago who I really like.

It just feels really, really bad. I’m assuming other people have had this experience in their life already (I am both fairly young and a late bloomer in most respects), so I guess I’m asking how you dealt with it and how things got better, assuming they did :aware:

you can also commiserate with me if you like

thanks gamers

@oktherebuddy nailed it. It’s really about perspective. You know there are good times out there, you’ve had em. You gotta buckle down and weather the storm and do the stuff you need to do to get through it. It doesn’t make now not suck, but you don’t get quite as mired in it if you can look to the future and see a bright spot ahead.
