What did first year pay look like for you guys?

This past year has honestly been one of the hardest for me. I lost my job and for a long time I felt stuck. I was applying to things, trying to stay hopeful, but it just felt like nothing was working. It started to take a toll on me mentally and I went through a period where I just felt really low and unsure about everything.

I’m 28, and I think that’s part of what’s making this harder. I feel like life is kind of passing me by. I don’t really have a solid friend group, and I haven’t experienced life the way I thought I would by now. It makes me feel like I’m behind somehow.

I recently accepted a job as a train attendant, and I thought that would finally bring some relief or excitement. And I am grateful, especially after how the past year has been. But if I’m being honest, I don’t feel as happy or as sure as I thought I would.

Now my mind is already wandering to other options, like becoming a flight attendant or doing something different entirely. And that’s what’s bothering me. It makes me wonder if I’d feel the same way no matter what I choose, like something is always going to feel a little off.

I haven’t even started yet, so maybe it’s just nerves or overthinking, but I can’t shake the feeling that I’m still trying to figure out where I actually fit.

Has anyone else gone through something like this, where things finally start to come together but you still feel unsure or disconnected from it? Did that feeling go away once you got into a routine, or did you end up realizing you needed something different?

I’d really appreciate hearing other people’s experiences.

My goal is to become a flight attendant with a specific airline but I was wondering if there are any current flight attendants that are in nursing school? How has balancing both been?

I’m interested in starting Reta but I’ve heard people having onset depression which is something I already struggle with. Is that true? Has anyone lost there glutes as well?
