Climbing out of the pit
Hey y'all. I (32M) haven't worked full-time in a few years due to a combination of depression/ADHD, low self-esteem, and the passing of my grandmother. Decided to move back home two years ago to reset.
I have been keeping myself afloat doing freelance/contract creative work and Instacart. Got my meds sorted out too, exercising more, and volunteering. Reconnecting with my friends and acquaintances too after not being on social media. So at least I can say I'm not rotting in bed anymore.
It's just, it's been so long since I've been 'somebody'. Feels like the world has passed me by, to a certain extent. Redoing my resume now and I feel like such a loser, after this huge gap.
I feel super confident now, but this task feels so daunting! What steps can I take to put myself back out there? so I can find a stable career? Get myself out of my parent's house and back to the city where my friends are? Find pride in the work I HAVE done?
Sorry if this sounds vague, any support or tips are appreciated.
