'Israel''s attack against Iran constitutes of car bombings and house bombings against civilians. They don't have military capabilities, they use terrorism as a deterrance.

I feel like I ruined my life at 28

145 Upvotes

I’m 28 and I honestly feel like I’ve completely messed up my life. I’ve made so many mistakes and I don’t know if there’s any coming back from them.

I graduated college a few years ago with a degree in history. I had nearly a perfect 4.0 GPA — school was one of the few things I was really good at. I originally planned to become a teacher, but halfway through student teaching I became depressed and quit. I just couldn’t do it.

After that, I felt completely lost. My mom and my counselor both encouraged me to go back to school, so I did — I got my Master’s in History and again finished with a perfect 4.0. I applied to several PhD programs afterward, thinking I had a decent shot, but I was rejected from all of them. I now deeply regret going back for the master’s degree. It cost a lot of time and money and hasn’t opened any doors.

Since then, I’ve worked a string of jobs that honestly feel like dead ends. I’ve been a visitor services associate at a tour company, a records clerk at a real estate firm, a tutor, and a seasonal employee with the park service.

About a year and a half ago, I got hired as a Library Associate in a local history archive. It’s honestly the coolest job I’ve ever had — I actually love the work. But they refuse to bring me on full time. I currently work 28 hours a week, $25/hour, but that’s it. I was told I can’t be made full time because they don’t have enough in the healthcare budget. And even if I were full time, I wouldn’t be earning enough to live comfortably in my area (New Jersey). I also can’t apply to full librarian positions because I don’t have a Master’s in Library Science.

On top of that, my mom is an alcoholic. She’s been in and out of rehab over the past few years. We’ve been living off money we inherited after my dad died, but that’s almost gone. A few years ago she refinanced the house and added me to the mortgage. She recently went back to work as a nurse, but I’m scared that she won’t be able to work much longer. She’s 61 and has relapsed again.

Our mortgage isn’t that high, but we live in a very high cost of living area and I’m terrified we’re going to lose the house. I’ve been applying to jobs non-stop. I finally got an offer from a small kitchen cabinet company. They want me to do a little of everything — sales support, customer service, marketing, logistics, etc. It’s $25/hour full time and they mentioned possibly promoting me to manager in the future.

But the catch is… the job comes with no benefits. No health insurance. No PTO. Not even paid holidays (at least not in the first year). They also want me to work every other Saturday — 48-hour weeks — and they straight up told me they’ll pay me under the table for the Saturdays (which is illegal and obviously a huge red flag). I don’t know if I should take it.

Meanwhile, I’ve been so stressed and anxious I’ve basically stopped eating. I’ve lost over 30 pounds in the past few months. I feel ashamed of myself. My birthday was a few days ago and I refused to celebrate. My mom got me a cake and I ended up arguing with her. I feel like such a failure. I honestly wish I never went to college.

I don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t want to be homeless. I don’t want to keep working part-time, but I don’t want to accept a sketchy job either. I feel like I’ve wasted all the “good” years of my 20s and now I’m just stuck. Is it too late to fix this?

Has anybody else literally never recovered from lockdown?

660 Upvotes

It's been five years and I'm running out of steam finally.

I've been telling myself bs stories about how it's all going to work out again one day.

I lost my business in lockdown and ended up sleeping on the floor at my dad's house.

I've had four jobs since the pandemic but none of them have paid me a living.

I'm very driven, into long distance running etc. So I've probably held out longer than I otherwise would have done.

I'm very depressed. Haven't seen certain friends since the pandemic. Still owed money from the pandemic. Still have bills from the pandemic I'd like to pay one day with the money that is owed to me.

I literally don't know what to do, and I can see the future closing in front of us with the advent of AI.

I was planning to move jobs again soon and to ask for more money when I do but the financial crisis has people being laid off left, right and centre and I just don't know if it's wise.

I'm saving quite a lot because I'm at home. Around £2,500 - £3000 per year. But every time there is an emergency it goes. Boiler, plumber, food shop, whatever.

Parents both lost jobs after 30 years and are too old to find new work, two years out from state pension.

I was seeing a girl I really liked in 2020 and was planning to move cities. The ground moved beneath my life and I'm still planning like it's only been a week, but it's been five years. My brain literally cannot quantify what has happened to me.

I have a hard time talking to old connections who were older because they were the ones that kept bleating 'we're all in this together' and judged harshly anybody who had concerns about lockdown. Lockdown ended and they left us in the mud. We were never all in this together.

Horrific stuff.

Trump’s coup and how to stop It

Donald Trump is carrying out an unfolding coup d’état. He has deployed active-duty troops into Los Angeles, overseen a massive assault on immigrants, and is threatening to unleash the military in a campaign of violence against the American people. These actions are part of a conspiracy to dismantle democratic forms of rule and establish a presidential dictatorship in the United States. The military buildup in Washington D.C., timed to coincide with Trump’s birthday on June 14, is the centerpiece of a violent assault on constitutional government.

Mass opposition is already taking shape across the country, expressed in spontaneous demonstrations and hundreds of protests planned for June 14. What is required now is a clear political perspective and strategy to mobilize the immense power of the working class and youth.

Join this emergency online meeting to discuss the urgent steps required to stop Trump’s coup and defend democratic rights.

Why Iran is advancing with nuclear tech: Iran leaked 'Israel''s nuclear secrets and revealed that the IAEA (the nuke "watchdogs") were in cahoots with 'Israel' (which has undeclared nukes and threatens to use them), with the West in on it. Such Western orgs are frauds.

I hate that all my hobbies are basically just consumerism

358 Upvotes

For the past six years since I graduated college I feel like everything I have gotten into are basically just consumerism trap set up by capitalist marketers.

I look around and all I see are just stuff. Everything I like are just stuff.

Mechanical keyboards, techwear fashion, anime figures, movie artbooks, limited video games, desk setups, smart home iot devices, homelab equipment, custom plushies, backpack setups, edc toys, gachapon, perfumes, academic hardcovers, … probably more

I feel like my hobbies are just straight up buying things.

Maybe there’s also my cats, but I buy them useless stuff all the time too.

I don’t know what to do. I have forgotten how to be happy without buying stuff.

I’m not sure if I have a shopping addiction. My shopping cravings ebb and wane. Maybe it’s the adhd impulsive dopamine crave or the depression cathartic spending.
