I’ve been out of work for a while due to layoffs and I just feel like there’s no point to life anymore. I know capitalism is bullshit but there’s no escaping it. I’m also transgender and autistic which makes every interaction I have with people more awkward and painful. Working in software engineering gave me something to feel proud of and gave me space. I fear getting a job in retail (if I could even get one because I’m “overqualified”) I would just have a meltdown halfway through a shift.
I don’t know how to keep going.
