I work as a paramedic. I feel like I've gone through "compassion fatigue" though, and in many ways I hate my job now.

Idk who needs to hear this but it's ok if u don't have a job at the moment, shit happens and that doesn't mean you're lesser or a burden. Yourself is the most important thing and ik the world makes it seem like ur a bum if u don't have a job but if ur not mentally well enough to have a job at the moment you're doing yourself, and everyone else a favor by taking care of yourself first.

College educated, been working part-time since I was eighteen and full-time since I was 22. Decently successful at work too.

Still sucks. I browse SaSu on the clock, without company wi-fi of course lol. The prospect of doing this shit for the next 50 years or so is not exactly lifefuel. I hate working, hate waking up for work, hate driving to work. When I was growing up, I loved the idea of being a SAHM with my lovely children and taking care of my house for my lovely husband. Fate sure scammed me out of that life... sigh.

Never had a job. I was even a NEET for the past three years, but I've gone to a vocational school now. I'm just doing it to buy myself some time though and I'll maybe ctb after it.

I had a nice career and a job I loved. Then depression and anxiety came so they fired me. Now I have another job that I hate.

I resigned from a long-term job end December and left my country in search of new employment because of what happened which also made me suicidal. I was unemployed and stressing about it from January and only started working again in May, my money ran out completely and I started to struggle buying food. If I could not find a job in time, my plan was to use the last of my money for SN. Now, I've ordered SN with my first salary to make sure I have it in case needed. Unemployment, or no income, could've been a contributing factor to ctb. If I cannot support myself financially, then there is nobody who can help.
