@shutterbug I think im not so bad of a writer. Not sure what other home-like skills i have. Not very tech savvy compared to others my age.
I had it ripped away as a preteen. Doesnât mean you canât develop a measure of serenity later on. Just do the best you can in the day youâre in and things will get sorted over the long term. Honest.
Why donât you try a college course part time for starters?
I did that years ago
It was only 1 1/2 days a week and I learnt some skills from it
Might be worth checking?
Here courses start September time, so just in time
There are many adult learning routes, and sometimes theyâre funded as well!
Thereâs a couple avenues for writers to work at home! Some of them donât pay well, while others have the potential to move you into a freelance spot. From my research any type of editing or copywriting pays the best, and you can take some courses on Udemy (wait for a sale, seriously the courses get super cheap) on copywriting and peer editing. At first youâll make peanuts, but it could end up being a full time gig.
There is a ton of work out there for writers with a plucky go get ââem attitude.
With all of that being said, be proud of yourself! You put yourself out there! Thatâs freaking huge! You found a job that was too stressful and wasnât a right fit, and thatâs okay. Maybe you try again, or maybe you find that now is not the right time. Either way, I would reframe this as a win.
I award you an A for effort. Iâm doing very well right now with my health and studies, and even I walked away from a restaurant job. They didnât offer breaks, and Iâm like bro itâs 2022, what do you mean you donât offer breaks? I said sorry, not worth it.
You have guts for trying in a high stress environment, and I want you to acknowledge that!
Check out your self-esteem again. I lost a job because I thought I was ugly. The boss took a picture of me without my knowing it and showed it to me. I thought âI donât look that bad at home.â I guess it was stress that made me tense and âuglyâ. It ruined my confidence and I got replaced. Now, Iâm like Jayster. -at an age where I am considered retired.
@Squanchy thanks ill have a gander. @PinCushion hey i kind of feel you there with the appearance thing. I apparently have body dysmorphia. Went through a period where i was pretty well when it comes to sz symptoms. But i wouldnt leave the house for weeks at a time because what i saw in the mirror looked more like a monster to me. Would stare for long periods just freaking out about how ugly i thought i was. But this has mostly gone away now. I try not to put as much stock into the way i look these days.
