I am a 27-year-old male who feels a bit behind in life. My mental health has taken a toll on me, and I really just want to get back into work and a routine. However, jumping into a normal 9-to-5 work environment seems scary right now, and I do not have many options. There are some messages regarding advertised work, such as a production operative role and a forklift truck (FLT) driver role that I can enquire about.

But it is not just about the job itself; it is more about what the conditions are going to be like. I worry about how people there treat others who may not be the same as everyone else, especially someone who has a hard time socially warming up to people. I really need to focus on getting better and back to myself, but I also need money and can not keep living on Universal Credit.

I am currently on the waiting list for 'Right to Choose' to be assessed for autism. I am also waiting to hear back from an employment provider who works with neurodivergent adults. I do not necessarily want to be seen as a label, but I think this is what it takes to get somewhere.

I really should find a gym to work in since I have a Level 2 Fitness Instructor qualification. But again, I have a lot of doubts and anxiety going through my head when considering that path because of certain social settings and scenarios. Apart from my fitness qualification and NCFE Sports Level 1 and 2 diplomas, I really only have warehouse and bar experience.

I don't know if it's just that I need to snap out of it and just bite the bullet and face reality more and lower my expectations, ultimately I just want to work in a friendly place that will accept me for me , I really just want to get back into a routine again.

So google is telling me I should aim to save between £3,600 to £4,400 (yes im from the UK) , im currently still seeking work in the uk and still waiting from this employer... I've also created a gofund me page too , realistically I know i can only stay in Australia for 6 months with a WHV , but I'm just wanting to travel for the experience of taking in the culture whilst working whatever jobs i can do whilst I'm there. What areas are most popular for British people on a WHV and what are the common jobs people go for there?

So I'm currently considering moving to Australia but I don't have enough funds in my account for a WHV , I have a collective job history from working industrial jobs like warehouse order picking, working as bar staff in nightclubs, volunteering when I was in my teens at school part of my duke of Edinburgh at a charity shop and working in food retail, I really just want to better my life and if I end up going to Australia on a WHV I'm fully committed and willing to do any sort of jobs that I am able to do. Do some hostels allow migrants to stay on conditions they work for them?

.... overall I'm clueless about all this and just need help and guidance , I'm just really trying to better my life and start new... anything would be appreciated ... thank you.

Personally, I just feel like this is the way it is ... every year youre just made to feel more invisible and less of someone who's a human and makes mistakes , like I understand when youre a child youre more new to the world and has less life experience to someone in their 20s , but I think most people are just miserable bastards who lack humanity and really its why I have a problem with most people today, because I feel like whilst I'm staying true to who I am everyone else around me are changing. Since when should life get harder and less fun as an adult ? If we're all going to die , what's the point of being too serious? If adulthood was so good, why do a lot of us still try to do things that to others, maybe considered childish, like I don't think you'll ever beat your nostalgia days when you were a kid , running and playing. Maybe there's not supposed to be a point/end goal in life, like maybe it's all about just all about going through the motion and adapting.

I know I do , I can't stand being in loud noisy environments full of people , people are very annoying , I love dogs though whenever I see the usual local dog its always the best part of my day.

I don't feel heard or seen by anyone and don't think people are as emotionally, mentally, physically invested in me as I am to them , in conversations I often feel like I'm the one hearing them out but not vice versa and I'm not doing that no more , personally I think this is part of my reset and shift in life , I'm realizing that instead of staying where I am I need to just move on and become more isolated and preserve myself for the ones who are actually worth spending time with, im done with feeling like a pawn it really frustrates me whenever I open up and vent about something to others I just don't feel like anything to them and they just want to move me on as if I'm a customer at a store waiting in line like "ok next please" that's how it feels. I'm starting to believe that I should just be separate to everyone else and keep myself to myself and just see everyone else as npcs, I don't want to be attached anymore because atleast then i won't get hurt.
