I will preface this by saying: this is nothing to do with the YanKKKoid election.

Anyway, I don't know...I'm just so tired all the time, I feel like I've been defeated by this shitty system.

I did everything our elders told us to do (got two good degrees, learned several skills outside of it etc), and after a while of being humiliated, degraded and talked down at by people at the local unemployment office, then finding a way to get money again...I just can't anymore. Things that used to make me feel happy don't anymore, I've all but stopped even trying to have a social or love life after like 2 years of having barely any money (I've probably been without a love life for at least 5-6 idk anymore shrug-outta-hecks ).

And despite what the chuds say, it doesn't even feel fulfilling to work, knowing that unemployment is right around the corner at any moment for whatever reason. It's also compounded by everything just getting more expensive, and all of my family always putting me down for making bad choices etc sadness

idk how anyone finds the energy to do all the proper "life" stuff anymore, it's all so exhausting.

Am I making any sense at all? kitty-birthday-sad

me, i think this is more common than we might be aware of.

just that feeling that we have no future, and all of that wasted time we spend at work being micromanaged in every way they can will bear no fruit for us at all. plus being alienated and lonely, like we are just work machines.

i want to know what the fuck yall doing to cope.
