There is slight hope out there...try Americorps if you can Hey all, I've posted here long ago about my journey. Basically hadn't had a FT job in 30ish years of existing. But, my dad passed in 2017. He supported me financially. So now, I had to enter the workforce. I lived off inheritance for several years, found a PT gig I hated, etc. Well, in Feb., I found a job through Americorps. They accept people with huge resume gaps, and my job is in a school tutoring math--so, I get summers off, holidays, weekends, etc. And, we only work... 1 2 replies
Do you have any neurotic obsessions lately that are keeping you busy? I know most people here just browse the internet endlessly and don’t actually enjoy anything. Including me. A few days ago though I became really into Minecraft again and have been excited to wake up to play that. Unfortunately, I barely even fucking can play it though because I want to play the Xbox 360 version but the emulator is unstable so crashes constantly and makes me lose my world. So, I can’t actually play the game so I’m just reading through Minecraft wiki pages and watching Minecraft videos... 5 3 replies
Are friendships even real? I try to keep contact with people to keep "friendships" going but i always slink back to being in complete isolation. I like to talk to people once in a while, but i can't help but to feel like im "using" people and annoying them with my words. Those "friends" usually say stuff like "we miss you" or "where have you been?" and try to reach out but i just don't feel deserving of having friends and never really feel like part of a group, i know im not... 1 6 replies

IDK HOW I DID IT BEFORE i just came up on my 1yr at my job. ive had 3 other part time jobs since 2020, but for the most part i was unemployed through that timespan. and obviously, all the years leading up to that. didnt even do middle school. isolated since 7yrs old. mom made sure of it 😴 growing up, i was a total shut-in (and maybe just a bit of a homebody now) I'll turn 22 this summer. so like, maybe, based off my age alone, i was never officially a neet.... 1 1 replies

How much do you sleep? Last week I was sleeping 16-18 hours a day. This week I've been sleeping 12-14 hours a day. Last night I went to sleep at 10 pm and today I woke up at noon. I'm trying to improve my sleep schedule. It's just that I don't have much to do during the day and turn to sleeping as an alternative. 1 4 replies
Looking back, I'm glad I didn't kill myself: I was there when my aging pet needed me My dog was recently euthanized, and before that was getting on some medication to prolong and improve his life. Looking back, my help with taking care of the dog while my family was away was invaluable. We loved him dearly, but he needed quite a bit of attention and me being there gave my family some breathing room with going out of the house and just like that we helped each other out so someone could stay while the other left. Now imagine all the extra workload of me... 5 1 replies

If anybody thinks I have a chance at recovery, then please let me know how and why. I don't see myself actually being worth a shit anymore since I'm so old. Anything I do from here on... 3 8 replies
