I dont want to be a downer about the whole thing, but its been hard pulling myself back up to where I am. Ive been fortunate to have the friends I do have that I havent been isolated and have people who are there for me now, but I had to pull myself out of some deep shit to get where I am now.

Now im at starbucks trying to cut it as a shift lead. Im 30 and I feel like all the work I did social networking, all the experience I gained... its all gone. I have no desire to go back to school to grow my education, and im just trying to scrape by with what I can.

Legit one of the most demoralizing times of my life. I couldnt do anything. I couldnt apply anywhere. I lived im a small village, so no where hired. All my friends were distant, so I just isolated at my mom's just feeling worthless because I couldnt dig out of the pit I was forced into.

I got my first job after college right before covid. I was a community case manager, who spent a lot of my time driving patients to appointments, meeting people at their homes, and helping with community resources. I got covid when it hit ohio, I got furloughed, qnd then spent 2 years on unemplyment
