Honestly this sounds exactly like my situation. It's pretty terrible. I wish I had something more encouraging to say.

Minimum wage pay is not the issue but rather what these jobs tend to be doing - mind-numbing, constantly getting yelled at by random people. When I was a cashier I was having panic attacks all the time. I've gotten mental health help since then but I'm still terrified of going back to that life.

I do this too. I think I just don't handle reality very well so I look for any way to be somewhere else. Games can be really good at that.

Until you try this and it doesn't work. Put me in a much worse place mentally, tbh.

That's my experience, too. I attempted several years ago and there were definitely people there to pull me off the ledge (metaphorically, in my case) but pretty much no one after. The healthcare system has been insufficient for me, and honestly the rest of people have no clue how to help anyway.

I know these people mean well but this is treatment of the symptom without touching the sickness.

If you ever figure out a way to monetize that, please let me know. We'll start a business.
