Especially for those who are being forced out into the world- by parents or just your situation. Especially those who struggle with things like social anxiety, do you just feel sickened thinking about what you're going to have to do?

I read posts about people giving presentations, going to interviews, going to job fairs. I used to do all those things. They likely filled me with dread at the time too to be honest but somehow now, it just feels unbearable.

I know ultimately, I may not have much choice. I'm going to need to find work soon unless I can be more confident about freelance work coming in.

I also know I've made it this bad for myself by working and living alone for so long. Still, it just feels unbearable really. It's so calming to think I could suicide and relieve myself all the stress and hassle. But then, I know I can't do that either while my Dad is still alive.

I just feel stuck in a negative feedback loop. I can't die while you're (my Dad) is still alive. I'm utterly dreading pretty much every aspect of my life. I hate this life. I wish I didn't have it. I wish I didn't have to comply with earning money to support the life I don't want. Why did you choose to bring children into this? But then, you're also a kind and loving person so, I can't inflict my suicide on you. But then, how long am I going to have to wait and, how am I going to make it through?

I'm just so tired of all the worry though. The other weird thing is, my Dad is one of the very few people I keep in contact with. He does actually want to be there for me and listen to problems. (Or, I think he likes to think that he does. I doubt he would in reality. He just ends up getting bored and frustrated in reality.) But then, I don't really feel able to say that my biggest problem is being alive!

There aren't actually ways to solve the other problems without winning the lottery or something. The other problems are basically intrinsic to life. The majority of us have little choice but to face them in order to survive which is why non survival is so appealing.

Its almost as if you just read my mind that's circling around with this same fear all the time and typed it all out. There's some solace in knowing i ain't the only one alone in this game but it doesn't help much really. Living with such fears is almost as if you are the only individual who can see a ghost and no matter how many times others tell you that there is not ghost at all and all you're seeing is a hallucination, it doesn't decrease that fear at all. All you know is that you can see something that is scaring the life outta you. Consolation never helps, at least not for me. I wish you strength. I understand how scary it must be.
I tell myself often that no matter how bad things get in the end, i will get through it because that's how humans are for some reason and if i reach a point when i cannot do it anymore, i will know and nothing will be a valid enough reason for me to stay.

Forced existence 😔🫂 We're brought here because someone else wanted us (in the best case scenario) and we stay because we don't want to hurt the people that wanted us to exist (obvs there are other reasons too).

Hey, are you OK @Forever Sleep ?
I haven't been on quite as much this week but now that I see this I feel like I haven't seen you post in a while, which is unusual.
Hope all is…. Good as it can get.

Just thinking about LinkedIn or upgrading my CV makes me want to ctb. I'm over 30 and never had a real job, only shitty freelance projects with 0 social interactions. I actually studied a hard stem career and was a good student but now I feel completely worthless.

Thank you so much for thinking of me. I just have a lot of work on at the moment, so I'm on here less. I'm so grateful you reached out though. Yes, I'm plodding on reluctantly as usual. I hope things are as good as they can be for you also. 🫂
