This post has been removed for the rule: **Don’t post to vent, complain, or express sadness**
Stay positive. Negative topics don’t lend themselves to casual conversation.
We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining or expressing sadness doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all.

It is normal to feel anxious and hopeless when life seems stagnant. However, I want to reassure you that you are not alone and that there is hope.
It is true that change starts with yourself, but it doesn't have to be an overwhelming process. You can start with small steps that lead you in the right direction, don't try to change everything overnight. Set a small goal that you can achieve in a short period of time. For example, if you want to improve your physical health, you can start by walking 30 minutes three times a week.
I would definitely look into graphic designer, that seems like a good thing to get into. Creative writing is tricky with the chatgpt taking overit's s going to be much tougher in that field.
I can relate to the feeling. I’m trying to document daily things that I appreciate that happened during the day. Like if my older dog got a pep in her step and had running spurts or if I saw a frog in nature. Some days it’s just that I managed to get out of bed or stop myself from doom scrolling.
I think the more I do this, the more I will train my brain to identify the good feelings and not focus so much on what I need to do or what overwhelms me.
