I had a pretty strong depression for the last 2-3 years and had to drop out of uni and had no perspective and goals anymore. Now I found a job at a supermarket and I am so happy. I realise it is probably an easy step for most people, finding a minimum wage job that doesnt require previous knowledge, but it was a big step for me and I finally feel like my life is moving forward again. Just wanted to share this since I know there are probably others here that struggle with mental health, as a reminder that however shitty your life may seem, there will always be a time when things will get better. Just take baby steps at a time. Never give up.

Err, sorry for the rambling... Maybe my opinion is unpopular or unnecessary or not really needed here at this time. ๐Ÿ˜…

Anyway

Really though, congratulations, a lot of people around me say that the labor market nowadays is extra, extra screwed up compared to what it was 30 or 40 years ago.

But yes, really stunning achievement, I am not even joking! Especially now. You really did well here!
