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.

Congratulations, I hope I can join you soon in the employef category. People assume finding worm is much easier than it actually is, but I've been frustrated by this process long enough to recognize that it's unnecessarily brutal.

Inshahallah, future success finds you in all your endeavors!

finding this kind of job wasnt that hard, but finding an apprenticeship here is very hard currently

Especially now.
