28, burned out and lost
Uni took longer for me than it should because of anxiety and depression, I was also diagnosed with a personality disorder and autism when finishing my degree.
Since finishing uni 4 years ago I haven't held a job for more than a year and it's been brought up to me negatively more than once.
I worked for a year on very low pay and the higher paid job I left for ruined my mental health. I then worked a 6 month contract doing admin before getting my current job as a coordinator in a mid-sized company.
My family tell me I'm doing well but I don't feel it. Recently I'm crashing out in my current job which has a high level of responsibility and I raised a passive aggressive email to management this week which backfired and ended up awkwardly. I don't feel happy or skilled and even though I have a degree and have been doing courses in my spare time, I feel absolutely burned out and like I have no future.
At 28 I feel too old to be struggling like this. I was so bad in my early 20s that my family thought I'd never work at all, I've proven I can but it's not going well and it's basically just a struggle for survival at this point. My CV is ruined, my job is going badly less than a year in, I'm exhausted and isolated because of my mental health, and it feels like I have a mountain to climb every single day.
I really want to find a path that works for me but job hopping, my mental health, and lack of skills and energy are making it feel impossible.
