Seeking Guidance on Career and Health Crisis

Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well. I find myself in a challenging situation and could really use your advice and support.

Context: I graduated in 2021 with a degree in electrical engineering from a decent college, but unfortunately, I didn't secure a placement. Since then, I've been struggling to find my path and ended up taking random jobs, leading to a significant gap in my career of almost 2 to 3 years. Alongside my career struggles, I've been battling with depression and anxiety, which have been exacerbated by the lack of support from family and friends. Despite seeking help from therapists and doctors, I haven't seen much improvement. Additionally, I attempted the GATE exam without success, as I lack passion and feel limited options are available.

Request: I'm feeling lost and fearful about my future, especially considering my physical and mental health issues. My confidence has taken a hit due to repeated failures, and I find myself fearing everything. I'm reaching out to this community in the hope of finding guidance, support, and perhaps some practical advice on how to regain my confidence and overcome these fears.

Additional Request: If anyone has faced similar challenges or has insights on how to rebuild confidence after setbacks, I would greatly appreciate your input.

Any insights, personal experiences, or suggestions you can offer would be immensely appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any help you can provide.

Warm regards

To overcome depression join a gym or do some home workouts with full dedication for about 3 months and make sure you capture a photo at beginning of 3 months and after completing 3 months by this you will appreciate your efforts and well get self confidence. And try to learn something in parallel.

This is my experience I had also suffered from a similar issue and right now Alhamdulillah I am stronger than ever.

Hopefully this will help you.

Having some achievable goal (based on existing skill set and circumstances) and working towards it help on alleviating stress. Take up some small job with existing skills and parallelly work on long term goal.

Some times working on some goal, and getting some progress day by day (.001%) gives lots of confidence and it works like healing.

Note: if you are having heavy depression, then consult some therapist.
