I spoke about my struggles on the support chat thread on Friday and like not long after that I just realised fuck I think I'm just a failure. Like I have done fuck all recently with life like I just make excuses when people suggest stuff to me , I just don't know what is ideal for me. This morning I woke up at like 5am and started worrying about my future like thinking maybe I am always going to be a failure. I have been down today just thinking about my future. I just worry about all of this often but the past few days have been worse anxiety and its effecting my sleep. Today I have just been down.

If you want to talk a bit more about what's bothering you then we are here to listen. Sending hugs!
I find your question about what's ideal for us intriguing - would you mind sharing a little more about what you mean by it?
@JJLemon18 I appreciate your reply. Can I ask why you say I'm not a failure?
Hi @Azziman yh its just I have been realising my situation that I'm technically unemployed atm and just the fact life is hard. Having to work the same 9 to 5 circle, I just don't know how I am meant to be happy with that. I was just realising all this on the weekend.
I agree with you, life is hard, really hard. But as long as you keep going you can try to steer your life in such a way that makes you happy. And speaking of, what does make you happy?
I'm sorry I'm not the best at giving advice.
That being said, there are things you can do from now that might help you feel better. There's lots of stories on the internet about people doing different roles, and it might be helpful to look around and think about what things you'd like to be a part of. Maybe you love to work with numbers; maybe you'd love to work on tackling climate change; or perhaps you'd like to really work in the public sector. Gathering information is a really useful thing to do at this stage. If you're feeling up to it, talking to people directly about their experience can be even more beneficial as you get a personal insight into their daily working lives. You could also considering looking at career advice services in your school/area to brush up on interview skills and build up your CV, as these would be a big help when the time comes to applying for jobs - the better prepared you are, the less stressful it'll be! Either way, there are things you can get on with to feel like you're progressing towards your goal of employment
