I've been trapped in a loop of negative thought patterns since I left the military in 2017. I left the military due to new-found moral conflictions. I've since worked as a warehouse forklift driver, a bartender, a cabinet maker, a farmhand, and numerous other odd jobs. I've since discovered that I have a rather severe case of ADHD as well, which has made it even more difficult to hold down a job or even complete a college degree (have completed 1/3 semsters). On top of less than desirable working conditions, I've also have a hard time dedicating myself to work that I don't really believe in. As I realize that it's good to challenge the status quo of how companies treat their employees, it makes it that much harder to find one that's worth the time. As entry-level jobs seem to be the only jobs I'm qualified for, the work environment as most of you know can be very, very toxic.
In my spare time, I watch documentaries and read articles about current affairs going on in the world. And not to sound pretensious, but it I've started to feel and recognize the suffering of the world. It makes me want to fight against every malicious and dubious act that I can within my grasp. But it's so goddamn overwhelming. I don't know where to start. Work reform? Social and economic equality? Preservation of natural resources and lands? Neglected veterans? The massive homeless issue? Lobbying against our invasive business tactics in other countries? I can't say that any one of these topics mean any less to me than the others. It all just seems to be so much.
I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I know this sub to be empathetic to these sentiments.
Share with me how you have overcome these difficult times. Or how you have attempted to make lasting changes.
Thank you
