I live in London with my parents. I've had various jobs over the years, within the video editing and retail industry. I have dry eyes which makes it hard to look at a screen for hours, and I've also developed pain which makes it hard to stand for hours.

On top of this, I've struggled with depression and anxiety for at least 10 years. I've spent thousands on therapy.

My parents are in their 70s, I constantly worry about losing them. Not only would I deeply miss them, but I'd be losing my safety net, and there's only so much I can rely on my siblings.

I've yet to achieve financial independence and the housing/job market isn't helping with how I feel. I do apply for jobs from time to time, but only due to worry for my future. I don't wanna be stuck in a house share - the worry of being around unpleasant people.

I know a lot of people out there are working and feel miserable.

I wish I knew what to apply for that I could find some financial progression and happiness in.

I've spent years seeking purpose through work, spirituality volunteering, creative arts etc and here I am feeling lost in this world

Apologies, I'm not sure if I'm sharing this in the right sub. If not, I'll delete my post and look elsewhere

I dunno if it's due to my depression, but I can go days without turning my oled TV on. While I love the visual quality of oled, I find it really hard to finish most movies these days, whether it's in one go or at all. It has to really interest me. At the same time, I can have days when I'm binge watching the new season of whatever show.

Objectively, the value for money compared to what the same money could buy in the 90s is much better. My family's first brand new TV was a 30 something inch crt for around £1500. I paid £1300 for my 65 lg c3 oled.

But yeah, the cost has bothered me for the past 2 years, partly because I worry I'd have to end up selling the TV if I move out in the next few years. The only reason I have a decent amount of disposable income is because I'm with my parents so most of what I have isn't going on rent. I can help them out and still have something for myself.
