Hello chat
I upped my anxiety med dosage a bit ago and the anxiety has been so bad
Currently I am spiralling bc I’ve been unemployed for 3 years now and I haven’t been looking for anything for the last few months bc it’s made my mental health so bad i physically can’t do it
I’m imagining it’s going to be another few years until I’m stable enough to get back in there, and at that point I feel like I’m totally doomed due to having such a big gap and it’ll be a never ending cycle
Idk if anyone feels like giving a pep talk I’d appreciate it lol
Also sry if this is the wrong comm the mental health ones mod only now so idk where to post
You worked as an independent contractor doing transcription. You decided to get out of it because AI is getting too good.
Then cast a wide net using indeed or whatever site to mass apply.
I’ve worked at 12 places in the last 5 years with gaps in between, but my resume and narrative doesn’t say that. And then I apply to so many places that even if 95% found out and rejected me it doesn’t matter, cause I only need one job. 5% success rate of 200 applications is way more than necessary.
Alternatively look into seasonal jobs, a lot of them don’t care about your resume as long as you can pass a drug test and (very basic) physical.
