I'm losing my chances little by little

I feel like every day brings me lost opportunities. I currently feel a great loss of passion and no desire to work or build any hope for a better future. I have listened to many self-motivational phrases and also to phrases of blaming my stagnation, and all of that was useless. I tried to get a master's degree in architecture, but even after registering the title of the master's thesis, my ideas stopped flowing and I lost all passion to work on it. I tried to open an architectural design office, but new conditions were issued for practicing the profession that require me to obtain an architectural record that includes my work over a period of three years, which I never had because none of my previous employers attributed any work to me, and now I am unemployed, so I am facing the state without any experience to open my own project and I have no hope in that because I am thirty-three years old and offices and companies prefer to hire fresh graduates. I no longer have hope for anything and I feel that I have no future. I will just remain a burden on my family and useless.

@DinaElwy I'm so sorry that you're going through such a hard time. I definitely understand how you feel. Sometimes you're just... Stumped, and you don't know what to do next. I totally understand losing passion and the ideas just stop flowing. It's so frustrating! And yeah, I get it. The self motivation stuff isnt always helpful. It's easier to give advice and copy pasted self help slogans, but it doesn't really do much. I know. Things may be hard right now, but you're not a burden, and you're most definitely not useless. People have occasional stumps where they lose passion for things. It can be a scary and difficult time. It's a long journey to heal and relax, and take your time with regaining that passion.

@DinaElwy

That’s a really common and very human place to be. 🌿

Wanting change is already the first step, even if the details aren’t clear yet.

Sometimes the best way forward is to notice what feels heavy

and what brings you lightness,

then take small steps in that direction.⚡️

Clarity usually unfolds gradually,

not all at once.

Be patient and kind to yourself🍁 while you’re figuring it out. 

Take care of yourself!

Have a wonderful time!🍃
