@rye I'm sure you will figure something out. You do seem capable, and definitely able to get yourself a job! :) You might be surprised by how the strengths you do have are helpful with a career, or perhaps how to go about obtaining and improving in those areas that will help. It's not really an area I've dived into yet.

"When we search deeply inside for brutally honest answers, we often can dig ourselves out from the hole of depression. When we really know the truth about what we feel, want, need, dream about, value, need a boundary around—we can begin to make decisions toward emotional health and away from the direction that is weighing us down."

A house is one of the biggest commitments one can make. Just as starting a family is another.
-
"If I had unlimited money, what would I do starting today?" Start house hunting... find something that is cosy and suits me. :^)
-
"How am I getting in my own way, saying mean things to myself, or holding myself back from what I really want or who I really am?" Food for thought.
-
@rye There is no easy answer for this. Except to experiment, find something that fits you, that helps you improve while making use of your strengths... make the decision and commitment to follow it through as a career. Keep re-committing, as long as it works for you.
-
@rye Psh... at your age, I was completely lost! You'll probably find a lot of people that feel that way.

"Sometimes depression is a message that is important to receive. The message is to pay attention to something that is not right for you. It may be that you are in a relationship, job, career, organization, church, community, identity, gender, living situation, or anything else that isn’t right for you.
So if you’re depressed and don’t know why, talking about it in therapy could help you understand. But it’s also helpful to be able to listen to depression yourself. It’s like listening to your body tell you you’re hungry, sleepy, thirsty, or sick, and that you need food, sleep, water, rest. If we don’t listen and respond in a nurturing way to these messages, we can feel very uncomfortable and may damage our bodies. Ignoring depression can have serious consequences. If what’s causing it doesn’t change, and we ignore how we feel, it will probably get worse. Like other physical needs, ignored depression can cause misery, poor health, poor self-care, and more."
-
@rye Oof. Yes. You are still quite young, with so much ahead of you in this regard. That'll take a lot of thinking through to decide on!
-
@rye Understandable. I think I used to feel that way, that I'd be a bad parent as well. I've since had a change of heart. But I know it's not for everyone, and it's probably better for you to focus on a career if you'd prefer one right now.
-
@rye That's the spirit! :)
-
@rye Maybe you do as well if that is something you'd like. You're very supportive!
-
@rye Aha. You can definitely make decisions and feel more confident for it. It's good to make them for yourself.
-
@rye Yeah, I suspect that I've had the potential traits for it too.
-
@rye I'm not so sure. Don't you make decisions every day? :)

"There is terrible shame about the actions depression dictates, such as not accomplishing anything or snapping at people. Everything seems meaningless, including previous accomplishments and what had given life meaning. Anything that had given the person a sense of value or self-esteem vanishes. These assets or accomplishments no longer matter, no longer seem genuine, or are overshadowed by negative self-images. Anything that ever caused the person to feel shame, guilt, or regret grows to take up most of his or her psychic space. That and being in this state causes the person to feel irredeemably unlovable, and sure everyone has abandoned or will abandon him or her."
-
"Even if nothing was wrong before the depressive episode, everything seems wrong when it descends. Suddenly, no one seems loving or lovable. Everything is irritating. Work is boring and unbearable. Any activity takes many times more effort, as if every movement requires displacing quicksand to make it. What was challenging feels overwhelming; what was sad feels unbearable; what felt joyful feels pleasureless—or, at best, a fleeting drop of pleasure in an ocean of pain."
-
@rye You don't have to think that big. Start small and build up. ;)
-
@rye I should hope that I have strong maternal instincts at this point. Haha.
