How to not act on my suicidal thoughts?
Hello, I created a post last week where I wanted to see if everyone else could relate to not being able to live up to society's expectations. I appreciated everyone's advice on ways to improve my interviewing skills and I will continue to do so.
That being said, I'm someone who has been diagnosed clinically w depression and lately as a result of being jobless and still facing lots of application rejections, I just find myself so useless in society and unable to live up not only to the expectations of those around me and also the expectations I have of myself, since work had been a very big part of my personal identity since uni graduation. Finding out I'm jobless and potentially unable to pivot within my industry (due to very niche skills) hurts me so much whenever I think about job hunting.
For the last week, I just feel like just ending it all soon since there's like not much for me to live for and fight for anymore and I just want to stop feeling this pain forever.
I do have a supportive family + several good friends and also seeing a private therapist currently but I'm not even confident if confiding in them would rly change matters. I have been engaging in my hobbies and volunteering activities but I just feel so beaten whenever I think about my career.
Has anyone been through a similar slump and how did you get out of it? Would really appreciate some advice to help a very lost soul~
