Fuck guys. I'm so fucked.

I had a decent job at a engineering/architectural firm for 7 years.

Was doing ok until Covid...then I just stopped caring. I used to be an early riser. 2nd or 3rd in the door. Did good work. After and during Covid BS I couldn't even make it out of bed some days. Couldn't be fucking bothered.

They fired me with a heap of severance, and I got a new job almost right away.

I'm not gonna make it through probationary period ..i can barely show up still. I space out 50% of the time.

Probably gonna drop the hammer on me soon. I can probably get another job...but how the fuck do I shake this BS off?

Everything seems so fucking pointless. 1/3 of my wage is gone to taxes right of the bat. Housing prices are fuckt. Everything is so expensive, BS politics, and wasteful spending. ..it just fucking seems pointless.

I need to move out of the city, but with my building, CAD, and design experience I can't get a decent paying job somewhere smaller.

Long and short i need to get a job work at it for a bit until I can switch careers to something where I can work in a smaller city/town.

But...how the fuck do I muster up the willpower to get in there and do it.

Gaurantee my girlfriend is gonna flip if/when I lose this job.

P.S. I turned down another company for a job, how would reccommend I ask for another job offet from them?

I feel almost exactly the same way and have had a somewhat similar experience. I just have such a hard time caring anymore. I work from home now and it’s so so boring and I’ve noticed people have really changed.

I’m having a hard time too, so you’re not alone.

What keeps me going is my kids and my family. I almost regret bringing kids in to this world now, but I did, so I have to do everything I can for them. That’s part of what’s keeping me going.

The other parts keeping me going are pure rage at what’s happened to the world and the people causing it. I’m so very angry and I have no real way to let it out. Also that I don’t want to die in destitution. I live a pretty materially comfortable life now because of my knowledge and profession, and I’d like to keep it that way. Better to have choices.

I don’t know if this helps you. I hope it does. Please find a reason to keep going. Find a mission. Find a goal. Being on Poal means you’re a different sort of person than the normies and we need all of you we can get.

Sometimes, when you can’t care, you just need to grind through it until you can find a reason to care again. So grind for now.

God commanded us men to be productive.

What you are both doing is worshipping Satan instead. He is whispering to you. Nothing matters. Don't be productive. Be lazy. Rot and die.

You need to fix your spirit. Mediate. Prey. Obey God.
