Maybe I won’t do it; but I could work as a Sound engineer/producer at a studio.

Also thought about becoming a GP Assistant in the UK.

Just need something to pass the time. Literally all I do is lift weights, walk, ruck, make music, and then doomscroll YT. I do read a lot of stuff online. I research stuff.

Can’t really go back to finish the Biology Degree anymore, and I don’t want to end up as a dead end researcher.

Also not willing to teach students cos it’s too much work, and I’d probably zone out in a classroom setting.

All the jobs I see online are shite.

Literally; low paid, and highly repetitive. I worked as a waiter before, so I do know the ins and outs of that, but it’s boring job, with basically no progression. And Customer Service is also bs.

I do have options from within the confines of my bedroom though; Run Meta ads and grow my listeners on Spotify etc.

Could wait things out with Labels etc too; had some feedback.

Could also easily write a 30-50k word count Fiction Novel; perhaps Sci Fi (my niche), or maybe just 10 Fairy Tales; condensed and concise. But I know Book Publishers would rip me off, and selling self published E Books wouldn’t be viable for that either.

I don’t have it in me to go to hard outside of my knowledge base to learn to things. I could, but I’m trying to minimize effort and make things as simple as possible.

Final Option; most likely; is to assemble my stupid studio desk, and start uploading DnB, House, Garage Sets to Youtube. I’ve run Google Ads in the past too, so I know how to blow up the algorithm. I did gain like 50 subs on a Piano video on YT from ads. Approaching 500 subs.

Still seems boring to just be stuck in my bedroom studio. Alone and fed up.

I need money fast. Money buys comfort. As a big guy I know MMA or Boxing would work well too, but then there’s the risk of brain damage.

Another option is setting up a business; could do cosmetics or clothing and my father has ties to factories across India & Bdesh, but I think it would drive me insane having to constantly be emailing people, arranging meetings, and then having the burden of tax and all that bs, and the burden of sorting clothing designs.

Just seems like I’m gonna be stuck in my apartment forever at this rate. So many options but so much effort. Sometimes I wish I could relapse so I could be up to neck in meds and then just get back to sleeping 12-14 hours a night. Would make the day quicker.

Sorry if I sound arrogant or angry in my writing. I was just articulating directly as I think.

Thanks to anybody that replies.

I feel at peace, not angry really, but I just know that if nothing changes, then I can’t stick around in this b*stard simulation. I’m sick and tired. My youth has been wasted.

Looking at OP all I can think of is Lenka - Everything At Once lol

I know I look like a serial complainer, but the state of things on this planet is piss poor.

I’m struggling with the same concerns after my mission, which ends in October. Articulating your thoughts into a post is perhaps the best thing you can do currently. I have done similar things.

For me, I’ve gone through several possibilities, each ending in the same outcome; it probably won’t work.

I hope you find something, you already have more skills than a lot of people, so maybe all that’s missing is guidance or determination to stick with something; I know that’s my biggest trial.

That’s awesome man. I know of a few people who do something similar. At least you get to spend time with your pops.

I feel motivation but determination has gone. I used to be hopeful before sz. And I guess my anhedonia is bad. Even if I was was rich, it wouldn’t change anything deep within me. I hate this life.

I can’t even enjoy food anymore. I never really speak to anyone irl. I’m bitter about wasting my twenties.

I like this feeling. If I can get angry, I can leave.

Yeah I get it. My motivation is superficial, really. But it’s required if I want to turn my life into something worthwhile.

As far as I’m concerned, if some schizophrenics can accomplish things in life, then its possible for me, too.

Ik a few people on the forum work. I just don’t know how they balance things and how can people work with symptoms?

I still have voices, minimal but I guess they’ll interfere with anything I do, esp if it involves other people.

What is your mission?

Is that a task or something in the military?

I have two trades

Landscaping and data science

Do the latter nowadays as nearly hitting 40 and you can’t do hard labour like that your whole life without killing your back and knees

That’s awesome man. Landscaping seems fun, getting to be outdoors. And not putting all your eggs in one basket seems wise too.

Is 40 hours draining? I did that before. And I felt like I had no time to myself.

I don’t understand why we have to work for anything in this life. Everything should be leisure.

I wish I could do something part time even just to get me out of the house more.

Sorry mean 40 years old!

I do work full time though 37 hours a week

Working from home makes a massive difference and I find the work life balance actually exists now there is no commute

What does OP mean? I don’t like abbreviations.

Rather than pursuing an accounting degree I am now thinking about CNC machining. Looks cool.

OP means Original Poster.

Is there a way you can get into amateur radio? A lot of people start there and work their way up.
