Thank you, I keep doing that, but everytime it comes to trying to find work or doing small admin tasks at immigration office etc, I struggle really badly. But my money will not last me forever, I will run out maybe in a few months... Depending on how I spent it. Right now, things are bearable even if everytime I find work or do admin I want to die, but I still have the money to do things that make it a bit better. Once I run out of money, I won't have a choice anymore, therefore I need to plan in advance. Unfortunately, death is my only option if I can't sustain myself.
Are there many "gig work" options where you are? Things like driving for Uber or Delivering groceries for Spark?
Those are great for people that can't tolerate the 9-5, because they'll take most anyone, and you work on your own schedule. If you aren't feeling it one day, just don't turn on the app. Maybe you function better in the evening, you can pick your own hours instead of waking up to an alarm. If you're running low on cash, knock out a few deliveries and make some money.
I don't have my own vehicle. I also really struggle with noise of traffic/ construction etc. So I've gone somewhere quiet now to try and find work online. But I struggle so badly with trying to sit down and set up my portfolio/ doing my resume, I don't think it's possible. Last year, when I met a guy and he gave me a one day job, I was able to get straight into it and hyper focus on it, but it's near impossible for me to sit down to do the things I need to do to get a job- ie apply for work, write cover letters etc.
If I were able to, it would be easier to find a cleaning/ hospitality job of some sort but even though I've worked in that field in the past, im so burnout now that this kind of work would overwhelm me too much right now.
I have a habit of working somewhere for about two years and what originally starts as a fun new thing (well, about as fun as work can be) slowly turns into a torturous slog, and I start searching for yet another new job.
I'm never much further ahead than entry level positions, but I have learned a lot about a variety of industries. I treasure that more than titles and prestige, but sadly, the rest of the world doesn't feel the same way.
