I left a great job and now I have no structure

[Rustysoupcan]

I left a great job at a hospital. Good pay, great coworkers and management, not difficult work, decent hours. I left all of that because of my struggle with mental illness. Now I'm sitting in a group home with no job, nothing to do all day. I need the structure that a job provides, something to force me out of bed to go do something. I applied for one last week but they haven't called me back. I plan on applying for another one but I dont really want to work there. Im just mad at myself for ruining another good thing

I can relate.
Depression and mental illnesses make us make lots of wrong decisions.
I used to work at a university which gave me A LOT OF MONEY but I was so mentally unstable that I was like "Fuck this. I'll quit and be a NEET".
I would probably have already visited the country of my dreams: Japan if I hadn't been such a fool.

However, let me tell you something, good opportunities will show up again sooner or later.

I'm finally working and getting a decent salary again. I'm even saving.

If I could do it you can also do it but try to get as much help as you can so that you don't make the same mistake.

I really hope things get better for you and remember: No matter how much you think about your past and future, you're still in the present.

Hugs

You too? Niiiiiiiiiiiice!
I really hope you can go there in December. This pandemic sucks. I dunno what will happen.
I bet the experience of being in Japan will be unforgettable!

If it makes you feel any better, i also ruined a great opportunity, but....what can one do ? Did you live alone before?

 

[Rustysoupcan]

Yeah I lived alone for just over a year

Sadly I dont have my own room. And they dont let you have like sharp objects or matches or anything. I can close the door though, and hopefully soon I'll be able to leave the house
