Unemployed at 25 years old
I am 25 and unemployed still living with mom.
I have multiple conditions and questionable mental health which I live in denial of most of the time.
I am very lonely. I do not have friends. Nobody understands me. I have no motivation for anything in life and I am exhausted on all levels. I sometimes feel like I am not even part of my own body.
My mom is tired because none of the resources I have rights to work. Doesnt matter you still have to fight really hard for people to care and help you and people like me dont have the courage or energy. Thats why mental health care and resources are a joke, among other reasons. I've been straight up told by a former therapist that since I am capable of emailing her asking for help, I do not need any help. And little did she know my mom usually makes me ask for help... So its no wonder many people give up who are like me. Doesnt matter that you have rights to extra resources, they're hard to get. All medical professionals and authority figures usually have the same attitude as my old therapist, so make of that what you will. Its a paradox. They abuse their power.
My mom wants to put me on meds because of how much my mental health has worsened since 2020. She does not believe I would even be able to work in the state I am in and maybe that's true. I'd need a pretty solitude workplace or a very calm one. I have considered contacting the local church at least. I live in a small town, there's practically nothing to choose from apart from stores. I wouldn't mind working in a store though as long as I didnt need to sit behind the register. Only problem is I go to the store all the time and I dont want to know anyone who works there and be forced to talk to anyone when im just shopping. But thats what you get for living in a small town I guess.
