i'm not a performer. i never feel any sense of urgency to meet this metric or that deadline, and i also can't really get into the medical field because i don't want to be responsible for anyone's life or well-being.

most of it probably comes from ADHD/depression, and then the rest a sort of philosophical viewpoint. i just hate the idea of having to care about that kind of stuff when we all have such limited time to live :/

is there even anything left for people like me? i just want to make enough to comfortably survive.

38M making 55k/year in a physically demanding job, 40 hours a week.

Been working labor jobs since 16. Landscaping, construction, serving, massage therapy, and warehouse.

Feel fine except for minor aches and pains but I know the mind lasts longer than the body

Looking to get out of physical jobs and transition to easier on the body jobs.

What’s something good to study?

I’m 24 years old never moved out of moms house. Can’t afford too, I make 30$ an hour being a fire sprinkler technician. I saw job offers I Texas for 35-40 range. I hate my job I am useless I could get replaced tomorrow no one will miss me. Never had a girlfriend and never will. Went to trade school instead of college because I didn’t know what I wanted to do and needed something more straight forward that was 6 years ago. Everyone has moved out of their parents house and has their dream job whatever. This job won’t lay a lot long term. I owe money on my car payment will pay off this year and credit card.

Can’t become a cop because of driving record Therapy medication in the past

Trying to join Air Force, they give waivers for having Zoloft and being off of it for a year.

Life sucks, that’s just what it is.

EDIT:

Okay guys thank you for all the support but I don’t know what else to say sometimes I feel deep amounts of shame inside of me I don’t even want to be seen by people sometimes

I’m going to save up my money yes and I’m going to be more grateful of my surroundings.

I’m still young there’s time ahead of me. I always wanted to live on my own and just restart my life but I can’t afford that.

Yes I pay rent, my own groceries, health insurance, phone bill, car insurance (not anymore I took off the policy my insurance increased its expensive), car note, And whatever has you. We didn’t grow up rich and actually was on government assistance. House almost foreclosed plenty of times etc

I feel like all the struggles my parents went through I should have achieved more. But I didn’t. Don’t know what else to say
