I don't know what to do
I feel anxious — about work, my relationship, and my life in general.
It makes me anxious to know that in my career, most jobs are poorly paid. I feel like I have no real friends, and that everyone eventually leaves. No matter how much people say they love you, they move on, they find happiness, and you’re left behind.
I keep comparing myself to others who took the same path as me — they’re doing well, finding good jobs, living stable lives — and I can’t stop feeling like I’m falling behind.
I don’t believe in “happily ever afters.” I feel tired, alone, and anxious all the time. I don’t know what to do anymore.
Hey friend. I went through this not too long ago. What I did when I felt lost was searched and worked hard for months leading into years to gain certifications, explored any knowledge I thought was interesting, and dove into technical/creative hobbies that I thought were fun but also showed future employers that I had the ability to develop skills on my own. Well, it worked after some very dedicated years, resumes improved a thousand times over, and a project portfolio to show. It might not take that long for you though. I was able to get myself out of poverty and I thank God everyday that my plan worked. I’m improving myself everyday so that if someone were to come along who I’d hope would be in my life, it would be the best version of me. It also gives you autonomy, because the worst thing to do when you are down, or poor, is get into a relationship where that person knows it’s hard for you to leave. Trust me. As you improve yourself, doors will open. I just now changed my career, so I’m not at the part yet where I improve my social life 😅. I hope this helps 🩵
