setting up a linkedin for job searching and connecting with my high school friends and seeing them married and in good paying jobs really hits home just how many years ive lost to mental illness and physical disability

#all of 2016-2020 #then i managed to get therapy and meds and diagnosed and i was on track for uni and graduate last year and get a job and then #new government guts and destroys the specific govt sector i was planning on working in (media)#and my health takes a bad turn in may leaving me in constant pain only for both of those to contribute to my contract being cancelled #and now im stuck at home. trying to keep busy by keeping my parents house clean and helping with the move #participating in hobbies and reading and losing the weight ive gained these last 2 years #and i feel so guilty because the healthcare i need isnt cheap. its been thousands of dollars already. before i was contributing my paychec #now im scrabbling to find jobs when the whole city is in a decline. shops and cafes/restaurants are shutting for good #govt agencies from health to education are cutting hundreds of employees each and theyve all undergone job freezes #i dont have the money to go back to studying and refocus on a career path that will work out #the media jobs and policy jobs arent here. everyones being forced to stop working from home as of this week by announcement of the pm #if i want to be hired in my field i have to move to another country. and i dont have the money for that. im stuck in bed #every day for a third/half of that day waiting for my codeine to kick in #perpetually exhausted because whatever's happening to me is giving me constant fatigue #im just so tired.
