I'm stuck in doomsday about my future



I'm beginning to go through a borderline mental health crisis and can't stop ruminating about how my future will turn out. This job market has been absolute fucking garbage and it's starting to get to me. I can't get a retail job despite having more than enough experience and forget getting a job in my field because I don't have ENOUGH experience. It's been like this for almost a whole year since I've gotten laid off my job, when is it going to get better?

I'm legit starting to lose my own sanity and am starting to question all of my life decisions. Did I make a mistake going to college and getting a bachelor's? Did I pick the wrong field of study despite it legitimately having useful and marketable skills for my future? Where did I go wrong?

I have to get my own medical insurance by 26. I'm 24 and a HALF and nowhere near getting a stable job or insurance at all. I'm panicking.

My brain is starting to go in all sorts of directions, good and bad. I'm trying to resist the urge to impulsively blow all my money and start a random Etsy vendor business without any forethought or impulsively becoming a freelancer. I'm starting to spiral to the point where I'm considering unaliving myself again so I don't feel this soul-crushing feeling of rejection after rejection anymore. Job hunting is mental torture and I don't think people are talking about this enough.

I know how you feel! I just got my newest job a few months ago and I had to FIGHT for it! I was lucky enough to have a friend who worked there already who was down to put in a good word for me. It sucks sooo bad just to suffer every week just for your right to exist. :/
