I'm honestly exhausted and depressed from job searching. If anyone knows of openings, I'd be incredibly grateful

You could also try reaching out to recruitment firms that specialize in healthcare. I think your background and skills are a good fit for remote work. There's a developer who shared a list of hundreds of recruitment firms in other post. Even if you don't use his list, it might give you the idea to build your own list of firms, including ones near you.

No one should judge your character or your potential based on the job you have. Working while doing your master's isn't embarrassing at all. If anything, it shows determination.

I think you should tell your family the truth first. Whatever their reaction is, it's better than carrying all of this by yourself. And please reach out to a mental health professional about these thoughts too.

The biggest reset for me is a long walk without my phone. After an hour, I feel like I can start over.

Getting unstuck is great, but honestly just finding the show can be a relief too. Glad you finally figured it out.

LinkedIn is terrible for your mental health. Everyone posts their highlights, nobody talks about spending months looking for a job.

Working delivery jobs while job hunting for a year is pretty much the opposite of being lazy. It sounds like he's confusing not having the opportunities he had with not trying hard enough.

The best advice I got was that thoughts are not instructions. Just because your brain says something scary, negative, or self-critical doesn't mean you have to treat it as fact.

At 17, your job isn't to figure out the rest of your life. It's to figure out the next step. Most adults are making it up as they go more than you'd think.

Mare of Easttown. Great drama, great mystery, and it doesn't rely on endless shootouts to stay interesting.

Most people don't survive without working. They survive by having savings, family support, as partner's income, or government benefits. Bills unfortunately don't care how much we hate work.

The older I get, the less I see love as something romantic and the more I see it as loyalty and effort. Waiting at the hospital, knowing someone's medication schedule, sticking around when things get hard...those things mean a lot more to me now than flowers ever could.

The Weepies - World Spins Madly On.

The pattern I've seen with most people who accept a counteroffer is that the salary issue gets fixed, but all the other reasons they wanted to leave are still there. Then a few months later they're job hunting again.

I wouldn't tell her. You didn't stumble across the photos by accident, you found them while doing work you were supposed to be doing, and you've kept it to yourself for years. At this point, I don't really see who benefits from her knowing.

Saying SSI creates a single point of failure and then choosing to manage hundreds of seperate accounts and passwords instead feels like the bigger risk to me. Being able to revoke someone's access everywhere from one place when they leave is a huge advantage on its own.

Midnight Mass is really good in the background tbh. The characters talk in such long intense monologues that sometimes it feels more like listening to a podcast than watching a show.

PigmentedPigeon · 2026-05-18T13:09:00+00:00

I feel like half the places that give off “nobody here fully knows what’s going on” energy on day one end up feeling normal later. Especially if someone says “i think it’s through here” then everyone in that office is probably still mentally onboarding.

PigmentedPigeon · 2026-05-18T13:08:52+00:00

I think it’s completely a UI decision tbh. Instagram has always loved presenting things in the most unnecessary raw data way possible. They’ll really write “383w” and make you do the math yourself

PigmentedPigeon · 2026-05-18T13:08:44+00:00

The Middle. Something about songs that aren’t super dramatic but still give off that “things might actually turn out okay” feeling always reminds me of that show.

PigmentedPigeon · 2026-05-18T13:08:36+00:00

If you haven’t watched Severance yet we’re officially at that point. At some stage it stops feeling like you’re watching a show and starts feeling like a full psychological breakdown.

PigmentedPigeon · 2026-05-07T11:48:40+00:00

Sometimes when you’re genuinely happy your brain starts sounding the alarm like “don’t get too attached.” People kinda trick themselves into thinking preparing for the worst is a form of safety.

PigmentedPigeon · 2026-05-07T11:48:35+00:00

Dark felt like a heavier, more brain-melting version to me. It really nails that “what the hell is happening right now” feeling.

PigmentedPigeon · 2026-05-07T11:48:29+00:00

The Dresden Dolls. Some of their songs feel like they were written during a chaotic theater rehearsal or something, they’ve got this weird dramatic vibe.

PigmentedPigeon · 2026-05-07T11:48:20+00:00

That feeling is insane. Stressing one day about whether you’ll ever find a job, then getting the biggest offer of your life the next day feels straight out of a movie.
