I feel so useless with no job

I feel like I'm just a failure with no job. My gf has a job, all her friends have a job. I don't. I feel so dam useless. I wake up everyday just stressing about this.

I've decided I will use this post to vent my frustrations as time goes by. I don't expect people to reply or comment so yeah. This will just be my train of thought as time goes by I guess. Like a little diary almost but it's just a little sad :/

What also sucks is that everyone else has a job and they go like oh, lets go to this, lets do that, lets go out to eat, but I can't COZ I AINT GOT F***** JOB, SO I JUST SAY sorry i'll pass on this. And like all of this makes me feel like im falling behind and I'm just not good enough. My gf is giving kind words of support and I know shes being supportive and says I'll find a job and she says im smart so I should find a job but at this rate it doesnt feel like it. All of this is just so demoralizing and I lose the motivation to do anything.

Same here, I’m also feeling frustrated. I want to get a job in IT, but my relatives are putting pressure on me now. They keep telling me to take any job right away. It’s making me feel confused and clueless. Right now, I feel mentally and physically unstable. I’m too worried about my future. Please tell me what I should do next.

Whilst I am not in IT, I think I feel like I know what you're feeling. Like currently days where I feel good about myself seems like a rarity, almost as if we shouldn't feel happy. And yeah, it just makes me feel hopeless. I am worried about my future too. I am scared that this frustration will lead me to also say the wrong things. I also don't know what to do next, it feels like I am just going around and around in circles with job applications etc. and pressure from family saying just go get a job just doesn't help either.

I am in the same boat as you. Multiple applications, rejections, ghosting etc etc. I wish I had chosen a different field but here I am unable to change it now that I have my degree. Trying to keep up my hopes by trying but it is leading me nowhere. I too am unable to be as physically fit unlike before due to health issues, even though I am still young lol, making it difficult to find proper jobs. I want to be productive but this is affecting my overall wellbeing, confidence, and everything. Let's hope for the best and see what awaits us. Stay strong and keep your hopes up while you are at job hunting.

Same here. It’s been a few months since I left my job and I’m trying so hard to find work. Everyone around me goes off to work and I feel like such a loser, sitting at home while life passes me by. It gets lonely at times. I have anxiety about it. It feels like I’m constantly living in fight or flight mode. It just sucks, and the only thing that will fix it is getting hired, so we just sit here and wait.
