I’m a male in my mid-20s. For the last few years, I was freelancing in a specific niche and had mostly US-based clients. I was earning well and managed to save around 1 crore rupees.

But for the last 7–8 months, my niche has completely died. Since I’m the sole breadwinner of my family, all our monthly expenses are currently being covered from my savings. Our expenses are around 2 lacs per month.

Since then, I’ve tried multiple things and explored different niches, but so far nothing has worked out. Because of this, I feel anxious almost every single day. I keep thinking: what if I never find something stable again and my savings slowly run out?

I try to calm myself down by reminding myself that I still have enough savings for more than 2 years, but despite that, the anxiety doesn’t go away. This isn’t a troll post, I genuinely feel stressed and lost.

The hardest part is that I don’t really have experience in anything else besides the work I was doing before, and that field has completely died now.

Has anyone here been in a similar situation before? What did you do? How did you deal with the anxiety and uncertainty? Am I overreacting, or is it normal to feel this way?
