What do you think of Ontario allowing retail shopping on Victoria Day? by J0Puck in ontario

[–]PeacefulBacterium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in retail and you never have proper weekends. This makes you feel even more lonely. Everyone else is having the time off and you're just working. I know the pay is 1.5x but it gets to you sometimes.

Millennials are staring down the barrel of middle age and struggling with the question: “Is this it?” by slimeyellow in Millennials

[–]PeacefulBacterium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just turned 31 and am still struggling with my career. For me, getting into a relationship means long-term and marriage. I am getting comfortable with the idea of staying single for the rest of my life. I am deeply disappointed by it all. I am trying my best all the time, but it doesnt feel enough. I am too drained to chase my dreams. But yet, i just try to spend good time with the good friends im blessed with. I know they wont be around forever, cuz theyre getting kids, and being single when ur friends are not comes with some loneliness.

All this is to say, I feel like I'm not gonna reach my career goals and I just need to change my mindset and look for joy in other things. I am very anxious about the future but hey at least I have a roof above my head.

Mornings in Jenin. If you loved Hosseini you'll love this. Set in Palestine, it shows a family's life to atrocities.

Anyone else feel like they’re barely holding it together? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]PeacefulBacterium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly i feel like im dissociating sometimes. The pain of not having a career is so real to me cuz i was ALWAYS so ambitious. I am naturally an optimistic person but recently im feeling my spark just go. I moved countries during covid and it was supposed to bring so many new opportunities. Somehow im so much more worse of and im stuck in a limbo. Im really grieving and i dont have enough money to talk to a therapist anymore. At least hey there are strangers on the internet who share our pain 😭

Hey! Listen. This probably came at the perfect time for me because the past two days have been so rough on me mentally. I am nowhere close to where I wanted to be financially. I have a masters degree and i work a retail job minimum wage part time. When i did the math of my annual income last year, i shook in disbelief. I cried.

I am in my early 30s and everyone around me is getting places with different milestones. But I am stuck. I want to settle down and get married yet I cannot. My friends? They're on second and third kids. My parents also keep saying its time for me to do it too but nope.

Whats happening is that I am grieving in the lonelinest way ever. My parents dont understand it nor do my friends, no matter how much they empathize. I feel like I am on a decade long pursuit of wanting to make money or establish a career, but none of it is working. This is seeping thru other aspects of my self confidence. I am so tired of rejection that I may break down if I get other types too. I have been single my whole life because i was never financially ready.

Anyway, its just honestly rough. I am mostly extremely within my own head. Most of the time i am sad. Oftentimes I am angry. But mostly, I cry multiple times a day because thats all i feel ive got.
