Re: Sometimes I feel scared
I feel scared about my future
I feel worried about what I will do on my days
I am too self conscious
I am feeling isolated from the ideal situation I could be in (with a good job, good people around me etc)
I just feel hopeless
There is choice paralysis and also fear over not having anything to do

Re: Sometimes I feel scared
Hey @MDT . I know all too well the feeling of being paralysed by choice, it's incredibly overwhelming.We are bombarded from a young age with the message that we are only worth the job we do and the career we choose, which is a toxic notion that is difficult to unlearn.
In my experience, mental distance greatly helps clarity. If I need to decide on something, I've often noticed it's easier to do so when I've taken a step away from it. Perhaps you could dedicate a day to doing anything except focus on career stuff? Spontaneity, curiosity, and fun are all hugely helpful for creativity, and creativity is one of our best tools for problem-solving. Just my two cents!

Re: Sometimes I feel scared
I agree with you
I am trying to engage with this theme sporadically. In pieces each day. Rather than bombard myself with more than I can realistically handle at one time.
Life is going to be hard in the next few months

Re: Sometimes I feel scared
That makes sense- rather than letting all the emotional response come at once.... I have to I guess emotionally plan for life changes too 🤔 hope I’m following. Otherwise you just get hit by a big whack of emotion all at once?
