Seeking guidance for carrer and mental health
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
Hey, all I can say is that majority of us face this career uncertainity situation in life at some point.
When I was in this phase, I would talk to elders whom I trust and tell them how I am feeling. It helps to get the weight off your chest.
Also take it slow, you have completed a degree in engineering and this shows that you are capable.
I understand that right now you don't feel very motivated to do things. But it helps to find some small little activity that you can do regularly. It keeps up your spirit. Like in my case, I have always been interested in mindfulness, so I started doing yoga and there I met very kind and understanding people so I would like to go to class everyday. It also helped me feel a little better about myself..bcoz it gave me a little sense of accomplishment and helped boost confidence.
Also after reading your post, Whatever you have written shows that you are trying and so I believe that you will find opportunities!
Career, Paisa, wagerah is a part of life and sadly apne yaha isko hi Puri life bana di hai.
