In the trenches

I hope this post is relevant enough to submit here, because it's generally a vent about the kind of life we have to live in order to just exist. I am about to reach my breaking point. I feel like the problems millennials/GenZ go through are really relevant for me too (depression, anxiety, loneliness, massive student loan and for WHAT since I even had a hard time landing an internship). I'm working a full time at the moment when I can, as I am going back to my studies when autumn rolls around. That will mean both studying and working part time then. Despite working my ass off I can't save anything, especially as an intern (obligatory) who gets paid minimum wage. I'm looking at apartments for rent at the city I'll need to relocate to and it's obvious I still have to live off of student loan, in apartments…

I am about to reach my breaking point. I feel like the problems millennials/GenZ go through are really relevant for me too (depression, anxiety, loneliness, massive student loan and for WHAT since I even had a hard time landing an internship). I'm working a full time at the moment when I can, as I am going back to my studies when autumn rolls around. That will mean both studying and working part time then. Despite working my ass off I can't save anything, especially as an intern (obligatory) who gets paid minimum wage. I'm looking at apartments for rent at the city I'll need to relocate to and it's obvious I still have to live off of student loan, in apartments that don't even have any kind of washing machine/dish washing machines. So just the living space is making me have to get a loan; god forbid I decide to also eat something=more loan. As I said obviously I'll also be working but that's not enough. I'm actually even now thinking of quitting therapy that I went such a hard process to get into, just to save money. Just youth problems?

I just needed to let out a bit of a cry and anxiety here because I don't feel like I have anyone around me rn to vent to. I do have a partner but he's not available atm and I'm freaking out. Sorry that this is rambly and probably a bit unclear to read.
