| Sounds something like me overthinking certain situations that i've been involved in on the road, like accidentally running a red light or narrowly escaping a near-crash situation, but pushing on forward like nothing happened it would stay in my mind for the rest of the day as if something did happen. |

Well the doomsday clock is set to 89 seconds to midnight.
Kinda overdue for some major life-altering event, but between ww2 and covid was relative peace |

| Yeah i feel like even though i've only been in the "game" for 5 years more or less doing the same work, I know my pay will always be the same with little to no progression to a higher role and I don't have the willpower or patience to study for a better job. And even though i've taken a le... |

| I get that whole rollercoaster of emotions throughout working at my job because I realise that the warehouse job i'm in is possibly the last and only job i'll ever be good at, granted i've only been in the sector for 4 years. I just know other jobs like working in the supermarket or restaurant indus... |

| I did this at one point few years ago, only I had to prove to others, both family and the job centre, that I wasn't lazy and scrounging off benefits but still had to look for paid work but volunteering would at least give me confidence in talking to people as opposed to sitting at home alone. |

Before 30: unemployed, uneducated, had anxiety, depression and stress from having no job and pressured to get one whilst being in debt
After 30: dead end job, still depressed, stuck living with parents, always thinking of how to escape
Will see what the new year will bring |

| Xmas is not a big deal for me, gifts aren't all that special as I usually get everyday items like clothing, toiletries, and often most of all, chocolate, as if I haven't had enough in the lead up to it already. I often wanted to go somewhere else for a change but i'm neither a social or spiritual pe... |

| As i've had the job i'm in before, I know what sort of job it is and how i've coped before i had a mental breakdown and left it in one of those 'heat of the moment' decisions. I also have experience in other sectors, like cleaning and office work, and can safely say I don't belong in any of them and... |

| If you have the inability to form normal friendships with people and maintaining that connection short or long term, it's probably safe to say it's infinitely harder to get and keep a romantic or sexual relationship. Personally, i've not been looking or interested in one because I can't think of bei... |

| After 6 years of unemployment, I started paid work at age 27 lasting 3 years and left due to stress from sensory overload (busy & noisy warehouse), and lasted 1 year in a similar job for 16 hrs a week after that for possibly the same reasons and an ultimatum between me and my manager about takin... |

More often these days i dream (nightmares mostly) of nuclear apocalypse, floods/tsunamis, working in a job that feels like i've gone to hell
gone are the days where I had dreams I was flying, or ones I truly felt happy with my life |
