Becoming less NEET

Heyo everyone. I been in a slump for a while, about three or four years. Before then I was working at a restaurant that my mom worked at all my life. I worked there for seven years so when covid hit, it sort of messed up my little world. My mom had a stroke, my bearded dragon died, and I got covid in the same week while I was doing online schooling to try and progress. The years were marked with anxiety and my mom going in and out the hospital. I was really agoraphobic (still am a bit), filled with existential dread (still am but managing it) and filled with a sense of pointlessness (still am but managing) I got a part time job at a small but busy cafe. It's a nice place. I only got part time because I didn't want to burn out and my mom needs help with frequent doctors appointments, she can't drive anymore after the stroke as shes partially blind now. I'm slowly trying and it's hard, but I felt good being at the cafe and the environment reminded me of the restaurant. Busy and good coworkers (so far!). Ive been in a really dark place. There were times I didn't get out of bed for days. Times I didn't shower or eat or even sleep. It depended. Everything felt difficult and pointless. I was doing game dev for a bit and made a few small projects. It was just depression hitting me over the head. I'm going to start making my projects again, going to my little job, and doing my best to be a better person over all. It's going to be hard. the bad feelings I have inside won't ever go away. They're always going to be there. I can work to make them smaller and make them easier to manage. Having a job that doesn't absorb my life will at least give me contact with people irl and have me drive around a bit.
