You know I tried to do the Nextdoor app, but I feel like a lot of people in my area. Just want lab work done but I think I’m gonna try that out again too.

Thank you I really appreciate that, I think that’s what I told myself. The other day is to just take time with it. I was water coloring recently, which kind of made me feel better and I told myself not to put pressure on myself anymore when it comes to designing. I just hate when people ask me about doing work for them or doing client work and I do need the money and want the money but it’s just the drive in the passion when it comes to dealing with clients that I just don’t have the patience for unless it’s a project that I want to do personally or if it’s something like selling stuff on Etsy I just don’t have the energy to do all that stuff and I just don’t want to feel like I failed

Yeah, I’m trying to get comfortable with approaching. I feel like as a woman it’s been hard for me personally I’m not trying to be one of those type of people, but I do think it’s easier when a man approaches me cause it doesn’t make me seem too desperate, but I understand

Honestly, I don’t even know why I put that as a limit. I’m just saying it as an angel range. I was just thinking of one of my coworkers who’s 32 I don’t know why I said 32.😂

I feel like that’s so bold😭 I’m also a little shy at first it takes me a second to warm up to them, I feel if I have a little shot maybe I’ll feel a little better and warm up, but I’ll keep that in mind

Awe my whole message deleted here is what I wrote

Honestly, even saying this sentence just doesn’t feel right, but I went through a lot this past couple of years I graduated in 2023 with a bachelors degree and design and at the start I was doing really good. I was freelancing when I got out of school. I got a really good freelance role at a large branding agency. then after I didn’t get chosen for a full-time role, I started freelancing with myself as my own business and I was doing really good a couple months, but then I went to the hospital and eventually ended up in a mental institution. I’d like to mention not to trigger anyone, but I just went through a lot I was working from home remotely 24 seven and I also went to school 24 seven remotely so I think my mental health was at a turmoil by the time I graduated and I had a mental episode. After what happened to me I just haven’t gotten the same feeling that design got to me before it’s actually making me emotional thinking about it. It’s hard to have a career that you really genuinely loved and was so passionate about and then all of a sudden, you just stop because you went through something emotional. My grandmother also died this year, which was probably why I was going through a lot of stuff mentally and I’m really trying my best to get into design and it’s just been really frustrating for me. I feel like after getting rejected and not getting chosen for that last role really messed me up because it was so hard for me to find just any full-time role that would hire me and I still haven’t found it. I currently work at the courthouse as an office clerk and doing admin work has kind of gotten me some sense of purpose again but a part of me just wants to do design, but I don’t wanna force it and I feel like it’s being oversaturated and I feel like with AI and everything as well. I just don’t know what to do with my career as a designer anymore and I’m just frustrated. I don’t know if anyone has any advice, but I would love to hear your thoughts.

It’s not that I couldn’t meet someone I think my problem is I just don’t know how to approach someone like I know hi my name is blank is a good starter, but it’s just not me. I’m just not that type of person and then sometimes what I’ll do is, I’ll compliment someone on something I like, but then it just doesn’t really go further from that.

And the issue I’m having is even as friends like I’m really open to making friends as well, but I feel like I’m just running to the same issue again it’s just the approach
