You can rarely control your emotions. Letting them flow and pass on is easier.

Life is difficult, more turmoil will give you more strength to endure over time.

Gotta keep trying and living anyways. No other alternative.

Also, you're pretty young buddy. Time is on your side, enough to learn and grow. Just keep working and growing.

Can I say you're in a much better situation than most folks in the 2023 batch, same as yours.

Ik my best friend stayed unemployed for over 1 year . All he got from the college placements was a peanuts paying sales job.

Ik several friends who are still unemployed from past 1.5 years.
There are several people who got the best internships but did not convert a PPO.

Then there is us . Surviving a toxic job. Low pay. Looks like a hard life. But it ain't that hard . I know I have been ranting about it myself too.
But try other domains if coding is not working out for you.

Plus. Don't give up.
Grapevine is a great community for emotional support!

Well that's the problem. Something is similar to me, I have a job but I've been suffering from loneliness for the past 4-5 years. I've been diagnosed with anxiety also but therapy sessions are not my cup of tea. I believe there's only one way to throw out all these. Get a distraction, something that you love to do unconditionally. It will keep you sane. For example, I always had these cravings for motorcycles. As I got my first job, I bought one and now I have 3. Riding them is the only time when I feel truly alive. Follow your passion bro.

I try to cry once a week, just to let it out of the system. Been job hunting for 6 months now. No conversions, no shortlists, feel like there's no hope. Trying to enjoy time at home, explore new areas, connecting with friends to catch up.
