strange…..oh yeah…you don’t know the half of it, more like an odd-bod.

got knowledge in: ecology, conservation, mechanics (4 and 2 wheeled) and, skateboarding.

But all of these have got me nothing and nowhere in 6 years, yeah i have a nice tele, PS3 and some other material shite. But it seems every time I get a job, the first 3 weeks are decent, but after that I end up back on the dole again. Just feels like my life is a constant state of nothingness.

keep fooling myself that things will turn around, that was when i was 18, I’m 24 this year, and i really can’t see things looking any better frankly.

yeah p0ly, I do. But just can’t get the motivation to go out, I mean is it really worth it anymore? 11 years I been skating, but never have I had a day where I felt accomplished in it. sucks

But gary, im not trying to sound harsh here. You say you have fooled yourself into thinking things will turn around well it’s not going to just happen is it? and it certainly wont when you just quit your job without even finding another one. Unfortunately we have to put up with a few shit jobs until we find one we’re happy with you just need to get on with it. Only you can make things change you cant just expect it to happen, unless of course you are very lucky. Life is about oppurtunity aswell but you need to make things happen yourself!

can’t give any easy answers here as the jobs market is really harsh and competitive and TBH it took me until I was 30 before I had any sort of real career or financial stability and that was only after knocking my “true” (but unattainable) ambitions on the head… that said, if you have skills in ecology there are various community environmental projects where they always want volunteers and are run in a much friendlier and less competitive way..

I find Music can be a super anti deppressant. creativity is under rated.

The job market doesn’t acknowledged me, I’m the mug who thought he’d have a shot but really I’m totally out of my league even trying. Things are shitty for me, I’ve got no self confidence to speak of, which makes things hard for me, I bottle it all the time. On a fight or flight response….there is no fight. I’m more of a pussy than my cat.
The only way I can get rid of my spasticness is if I’m drunk, well, shitfaced.

The trouble is, I’ve never known what I want to do with my life, the ecology stuff is all but forgotten now, mechanical stuff well, I’m too stupid to do it ie I haven’t had a good education, i can’t even spell fudge with my gcse’s. not good.

fuck this

I was 30 when I really knew what I wanted…then I did it….but a good bender is not misspent youth, its way more fun than serving burgers at McD…take it eazy…sooner or later it will turn sumtin up that will get you focused and then….just remember to live a desent life in the meantime that contains a bit of everything that needed to live fullfilled….sunsets, sunups, fresh air etc…

I got into my profession young, and am in the middle of a massive change in direction and retraining at 34
my bro didnt have a job til 30+ (well, anything legal :laugh_at:)

if you are depressed it isnt going to help matters but one of the best things you can do if depressed is ‘get out there’ and do some form of activity – be it fun, dancing, making music, scateing, or work / voluntary work – and the research backs this up :group_hug

the community eco-groups don’t care what GCSE’s/qualifications you have, provided you know one end of a tree/shrub from the other… 😉

yes you will have to be amongst all manner of hippies and other do-gooder types but they are actually a very friendly inclusive lot and places like Transition groups actually try to do useful stuff (such as growing things you can eat..)

haha naughty brother!

I mean, I’m not the laziest person ever, I do like to go out and be active; skateboarding, fishing, lawn bowls (don’t mock) and a bit of golf. But its skateboarding that’s at the route of all this misery.
While i wasn’t on here, was on failbook speaking to my friend, a fellow ‘OG’ of skateboarding, and he’s going through the same thing, we worked out its almost ‘withdrawal symptoms’ of NOT skateboarding…I thought to myself, this can’t be it, surely? But then after like 30 mins of further conversation, I do think this is the reason to my morose attitude as of late, getting shitfaced is one way to deal with it, but actually going to a car park and having a good old shred is another….the better of the two!
think I will test this thesis out in the moro, and see if I feel happy. I suspect I will…..what a fool I am…..

I am so sorry you are feeling this way Gaz. The only thing I can suggest is make sure you have good friends and family around you. Depression makes you want to be hide from the rest of the world but this is the last thing you need.

The job world is miserable. I don’t fit in. I still don’t know what I want to do with my life. I’m 36! Everything I enjoy pays very little money and I can’t afford a pay cut.

I followed my dreams and it has massively fuct up my life. I am still trying to rebuild it. The majority of people my age are settled with kids and have a bright future ahead of them. I am back to square one. But some good has come out of this it has made me more aware of what is really happening in this world. It has taught me the value of money and most importantly life.

People need to go through tough periods in life to fully appreciate the good times.

It sounds shit but try and stay positive. Also don’t think too much. Try and occupy yourself with anything. Keep busy. Ignorance is bliss and all that 😉

Walk away from a shit job everytime, you’ll probably miss oppertunities if you stay but you have to keep of the dole aswell its a seditive

Sorry to hear about your loss Raj. For those who have loved ones who’s suffering from depression, encouraging them to ask for professional help may be the best option 🙂
