I had a pretty strong depression for the last 2-3 years and had to drop out of uni and had no perspective and goals anymore. Now I found a job at a supermarket and I am so happy. I realise it is probably an easy step for most people, finding a minimum wage job that doesnt require previous knowledge, but it was a big step for me and I finally feel like my life is moving forward again. Just wanted to share this since I know there are probably others here that struggle with mental health, as a reminder that however shitty your life may seem, there will always be a time when things will get better. Just take baby steps at a time. Never give up.


A lot of people would love a simple job at a local supermarket. I did that kind of work in 2006-2010 but never since then. Very hard to find these days. What kind of city or town do you live in? Because I live in a city of >300,000 and this type of job is difficult to get (unless maybe a person works the night shift stocking shelves until 4am)
