Is there anyone who believed they could never find work again?
I've been struggling for over twenty years now, since my teens. I got through those years and my early twenties, but the past decade plus has been extremely difficult. I'm somewhat back on my feet now, but I feel like those offering work won't want a thirty-year-old with such a weak resume as myself. It doesn't help that my last attempt at a career ended in failure, and I need to find yet another path. My fourth switch. I'm aiming to be a professional writer now... but the challenges with a switch now are huge. I'm going to therapy of course, but it's slow going. Meds help me enough to keep a semi-clear head, but for the rest, I'm inching forward on my own.
Has anyone here been in a similar space, but managed to leave it behind and lead a more normal life?
