Feeling like shit. I've been without a job for a year, 2020 was absolute dog shit for me. The latter half of 2019 was shit, my girlfriend left me and I barely managed to recover from that. The next year was absolute fucking shit because I got stuck inside my home, jobless, with my mom (whom I have a not-very-good relationship) and my sister (whom I have a less-than-ideal relationship), I couldn't study because it turns out that virtual classes are definitely NOT for me so I lost an entire year worth of studying and I can't find a job because I feel horrible, I have social anxiety and I hate the way I look, it's crushing.
Everyone around me is making at least some kind of progress, except for me. Everyone is doing something, but not me. My mood is below the floor now, it fucking sucks. I'm 27 and I feel like I just wasted "the good years".
those arent the good years anymore, those have been deferred to our 30's now
Uh...what's the fulfillment schedule on that supposed to look like? At 31 now and would like a refund for items not received if possible.
I relate to this a lot. Late twenties, had a really shit year, feeling like the good years are behind me. I try to fight against that by focusing on the things I can control. I try to get enough sleep, eat healthy, meditate, write a journal, get some activity every day even if it's just walking, practice self-compassion, listen to self-improvement podcasts and so on. Most things are out of our control but not all of them. Hope you have a good week, keep us updated! :unity:
