i hate to break it to you but life is not all fun and games. getting up every day to go to work is a grind, suiting up and showing up. it's part of how our society functions, each person participating. we aren't robots, but we are under no illusion that work = Disneyland.
the world is not here to keep you entertained. it is however waiting for you to find your place and participate fully of your time, talents and treasures. and even those who did find a vocation that they truly loved or enjoyed put in a LOT OF HARD YEARS to get there. we have to EARN it, not wait for it to be handed to us.
i had a drug induced psychosis at age 19. i started to get disability after that. 19-21 were very tough years where i didn't do anything really except dropping in and out of school. slowly crawled out of the depression and was starting to trend in a positive way.
last year i got my first full time job and that's when i lost it. since then i've earned what i could but now i need another job.
