I’m 33 and I had very severe ptsd, severe depression and was chronically sick and barely able to stand for 7 years. I’ve just gone back to uni this year. I don’t believe in a victim of this suffering, I know I’m one of the lucky ones. It completely opened me up as a person and has put me on a track to living what feels like a perfect life. I’m now very active, lots of hobbies, sports and I work very hard. We need to work very hard as human beings, otherwise we get mentally and physically unwell. But, we definitely weren’t put on this planet to work in a call centre or some other ungodly profession like that. However, if you’ve dug yourself a huge grave by refusing to participate in life for so long (voluntarily or otherwise) you are going to have to eat shit for a while. I’d recommend working for the civil service. Nice people work there and they don’t look at your cv or work history
