I hate myself.
I was unemployed for 6 whole months and finally landed a good job with good pay.
But the job put me through so much pressure that I couldn’t take it anymore. I resigned without having any backup plans. I was in so much distress that I’m seeing a psychiatrist.
I’ve always wanted to ‘hold on for a bit longer’. I tried. I really tried. Now I’m mentally ill, jobless and can’t get a good job. I haven’t told my parents that I quit but I really couldn’t take it anymore. Im suicidal

Hey, I just want to say that you didn’t fail. You went through something heavy, and you made the best choice you could at that moment. Your mental health is real and it matters. Holding on doesn’t always mean staying sometimes holding on means choosing to protect yourself. It’s okay to rest. It’s okay to start again slowly. You’re not alone, and you’re not finished. You’re still here, and that already means you’re stronger than you think.😉
