Please just read without judging me, I'm up to conversation as long as you don't tell "you can do it!" Or "man up bitch" I don't need that type of dialogue, I've been beaten enough, even by my own family.

35 M.

My depression and loneliness had fucked me over enough last year and since I quit my abusive job (underpaid, boss screaming at job, no benefits, hated everyone, shit conditions) things aren't getting better. The fact I can't get a job even at a fast food sucks (some of you Americans complain about having that job, you're LUCKY to have that)... Job apps don't work or always ask for experience, I can't even get an Amazon warehouse job (I've seen people that can't even talk the language here well getting that job, so I guess I'm cursed). Nobody calls and no, you can't just knock random doors of warehouses expecting to give you a job, even worse if you're an immigrant.

My mother has enough of me living with them and I can't blame her I'm old ass virgin dude that will never get married but seems that everything is against me and I'll never move out. The world decided to just fuck me over again and again. The fact I can't get a job is killing me. I don't have money for studies and this country doesn't offer trade jobs education for people like me I've never been a good student anyways, I need the money NOW. Shit, I controlled this shitty town web page and hasn't been updated in a year. The job help is a joke for anyone like me. The only reason I'm not sleeping under a bridge is because of my mother.

Sometimes I google painless ways to die.

My father sometimes calls me saying I should go back to him in our home country, leave Europe, but for what? He lives in a shitty place, he's unemployed too and barely eats despite being 10x more of a man that i am... That would be a death sentence for someone like me. I have no escape anywhere.

Sorry if this post bothers you in any way, but I needed this. I have zero human contact with anyone besides my family.

I will be unemployed tomorrow. I don't have plan for anything specific, I will probably just take my bike, put panniers on and explore Europe for some time.

I am fortunate enough that I have saved enough money for few years of this. But still I will apply to some university to finish some degree to look important (I don't understand the fixation of most people to these letters before names).

What I mean by this is simply that you probably need to do something. It doesn't have to be something that your family approves (my mom isn't thrilled by what I want to do). Maybe move, try to find job elsewhere...

I really don't think that makes a difference due my circumstances. I can't travel anywhere.

It's hard for anybody to give you advice without that information. Opportunities are totally different by location.

[–] BallsandBayonets@lemmings.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What part of their post made you think they were looking for advice? Sometimes, most times, when things are this shitty, people just want to vent. I've been where they were, and unless you were writing me a no-strings-attached check for my rent money, I wouldn't want to hear a damn word.

Sorry, it sounded like maybe you wanted a new job and sometimes people out there know of opportunities. But, I'm sorry I jumped to that conclusion. If it makes you feel any better, I read your post and I hope things improve for you.

You mention not having any human contact other than your family, that sounds really stressful especially if they’re on you for not having a job. Are there any opportunities where you are to do volunteer work, like at animal shelters, hospitals, or similar options? That would expose you to other people, could help with depression (helping others often does,) and might even give you some leads on jobs.

How about enlist in the foreign legion for France or Ukraine? You get paid, and if you suck you die.

Part time construction? Fence building. Don't need to talk much, or have much skill.

[–] Platypus@lemmings.world 1 points 1 week ago

Nothing of that exist in my area

Sounds really tough for you, job hunting can be hard, really hard. Employers often look for certain people - you mention amazon workers with less language skills, they're employed because they can't kick up a fuss and will take being pushed harder on the whole. You could play dumb maybe to get a job to get that maybe? My only other thought at the moment is to try recruitment agencies if there's any about where you are and you've not rhoughtbof that yet.
