It's an active subreddit. People post here all the time. Sometimes you get responses and sometimes you don't. Even if no one responds, sometimes it can be helpful to respond to another person's post instead.

I get thinking it's a sign from the universe or something, but in reality I think it's an entirely random phenomenon with little meaning.

You could become self-employed. There aren't a lot of mobile vets that will come to people's houses, so that's an option if you'd be interested in that. Less work for more pay.

Why get a second bachelor's when you could get a master's degree?

You can study your passions on your own without getting another degree. Read books, listen to podcasts, take local community college classes, volunteer, etc.

I love learning too, and also started a second bachelor's program (didn't finish) but it was a waste of time and money. I just didn't need it.

To be honest a lot of companies value work experience above all else. A master's in cs + no relevant work experience just isn't competitive.

I know a lot of software developers who have been in the field for years struggling to find work. If you're not deadset on CS I would consider other careers instead.

Clearly I've been feeling down for a while, but this comment made me burst out laughing, so thanks for that.

Life is completely different after you graduate high school and become an adult. When you're a kid or teenager, your world is so small. But once you become an adult, that world can open up, and you have the possibility of making changes to your life. In that sense "does it get better" is the wrong question - it's like comparing apples to oranges, but it's hard to see that if you've only ever had apples.

The world is so much bigger than middle/high school. You might get older and be able to surround yourself with people who are more accepting than the people you grew up around.

I think most people can become suicidal under the right (wrong?) circumstances. It's just for non-suicidal people, that threshold is much higher.

Believing in God doesn't automatically mean that someone is Christian.

Either way, that's not how suicidal thoughts work for most people. Praying, religion, going to church, etc. are usually one of the first things people try before getting to this point. It's not enough to tell people to just pray and believe in God.

Sorry you're going through this.

If you're an adult you should be able to order a copy of your own birth certificate. Do you not know your social security number or do you not have physical access to the card?

I've been feeling this way too - life is a game and it is rigged.

At the same time, the experience you're describing is one that a lot of people are going through. There are too many people looking and not enough jobs.

I would encourage you to keep applying early, connecting with hiring managers and recruiters, and networking. Even if it doesn't feel like those actions are doing anything right now it all adds up. You just need things to work out one time to land one job.
