Hey everyone. I’m kind of a 26M who’s failed at life. I work in direct patient care as a hospital pharmacist and have gotten very burn out and depressed. I tried many things but nothing is helping. I also realized this is not what I wanna do in life.
My job was so stressful, I had to leave it for my mental health. I quit my job and have nothing lined up. I’m moving back home and thinking of doing extra education to pivot out of direct healthcare as I hate it.
Everyone told me “have fun being an unemployed bum forever.” My aunt and uncle didn’t invite me to my cousins wedding because they don’t want people with no aspirations near their kids and friends.
I don’t even know if I’m smart enough to get into a masters program. I can’t go back and beg for a job destroying my mental health. Any motivational advice helps?
I was gonna go back home and rest and apply for masters and work on losing weight and dieting but I think I ruined my life.
The world would be better off without me, and maybe now I’ve assured my future is over.
Any advice?

Your life is far from over bro. You’ll find yourself soon as you dig deep. It’s your life. Not theirs. Cut that self pity talk out. You’re 26, not 56. Just take some time off but don’t lose yourself. Lock in champ.
Well the first advice I’d give is to stop thinking of 26 as “late in life.” And the second is to do what you need to do, cut off any negative and toxic people entirely. Yes, even your family and longtime friends
