Maybe I made a mistake
| I also lost my last friend a few weeks ago and my cat died a few months ago. Besides this I get bored out of my little mind. Still my health is improving.
I could reduce from 2 strong antidepressants to 1 pill and improve from barely doing the minimum to actually
feeling joy again and doing things.
Anyway now I am scared if I will find a job that suits me and if I will ever find a job again. Besides this lonelieness and boredom, but also improving health. (2/3)
| Currently I somehow regret throwing away my job but on the other hand I really appreciate my better health.
I also don't know if I should invest into learning how to ride a motorcycle because this is a requirement of being a mailman around here. While I do have the money I do not know if the job would be something for me. Until now I only get negative replies because I can't ride them.
Well thanks for reading and sorry for not using the vent thread, dind't want to flood it.
| It is always worth learbing a new skill, esp iperating a vehicle. I say go for it! Yiur last few weeks must have reallllt sucked but you persevered, just like every other bad time in your life. Don't dwell in the bad stuff, take those little steps forward. And remember that the universe isnt personally out for you, so even when it seems super rough, there is always a step up. <3

Thanks for the reply. I was a little bit worried that nobody would care.
Well I can drive a car already, therefore the only reason to learn operating a motorcycle is to be a mailman but I do not know if I want to be one. I just wish they would invite me for working with them for a week so I can look into that job.
Anyway thank you for those kind words, I only realised now how much i needed them.
| Ay, homie, if you think being a mailman sounds fun then go for it! Sure, it might not be what you're hoping for, but at least you've tried, right? At least you've gotten out, done something, and hopefully earned som money along the way.

Yeah that's the point. If this is not what I am hoping for then I will have nothing expect expenses at the end.
On the other hand it would be really nice to actually do something and even more important to try something...

Mhm. Just go for it! Experience is experience, something to do is something to do, and if you like it then you've got a decent job and steady income.
| What job did you quit and what kind of health issues did it bring?
| Good work. Your personal wellbeing is important and asserting it was a good step forward. Be thankful you have a cushion of sorts that you can land on. Do your best.
Job market is never fun but if you're open minded to failure and trying new things without getting too sad you'll kill it and be a happy individual in the long term.

Thank you, reassuring to hear. I try that but it is hard because of my problems with my psyche. Tried caretaker for animals and farming already but it was not for me. Currently trying to get a look into mailman. Worst case I can apply for a office job again but I really don't want to do that. If this happens then I have to change the way I spend my free time in order to counter that soul crushing desk job. Although I don't know how...
| Update. I received an invitation for a job interview the day after tomorrow. Really exicted to get further information regarding working as a mailman. Hopefully I will like it. Looks like venting on danger/u/ worked like magic one again!
Thank you g/u/rl!

Here the update. I am back from the interview and it went good. Maybe I talked a little too much and too fast, because I am always nervous regarding stuff like that. Else I think I could have done a better job describing why I want this job. On the other hand they seemed impressed by the research I have done about them. Now I have to wait until the 10th of December for a feedback. I hope I can sleep well again, because I couldn't the last two days, too nervous.
| Keep applying for jobs. Keep doing interviews. Hopefully you get the job, but statistically speaking you probably won't.
The motorcycle thing is dangerous... If you'd deliver mail on a motorcycle. Look into what vehicles the mail service uses before completely commiting to it.
Sorry for being pessimistic, but you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket unless you want to be dissapointed.
When you get a job, don't overwork yourself. Don't try your best. Just be good enough.

| Hello g/u/rl. I have moved myself into a unconfortable situation. I hope I can somehow explain it.
Several months ago I quit my job because it made me ill. I tried to pull through but it only got worse. At one point I quit because of my health. My problem is that I really would like to work but I do not know what kind of job and the situation is very bad because of the pandemic. I also feel bad because now I just sit on my parents pocket and can't pay them rent anymore. (1/?)
