28 yr old leaf that had to move back into parents basement. Got accepted to uni, but in a city where the housing is Toronto tier and like $1.5k/mo for a studio (fuck that). A part of me wants to say fuck it and find something entry level like working at CN so I can just buy myself a shack in the woods somewhere, but I feel like the economy will rug the moment I start working. Idk what to think and am in a bit of analysis paralysis

What’s going on here?

>What are you lovable losers doing to rebuild your own lives?
Started a CS degree online, teaching myself gamedev. Comfy.

lvl 31 myself, the end of June will make 3 years since I quit my last job

I quit vaping and I quit smoking weed so I'm proud of that after being a degenerate since high school

however I need to start cranking out job applications to finish getting my life back on track

28 and got a 3 month job in south france, first time living "alone". They give me food and a place to stay, so I'm thinking a roomfull of bunker beds. After a couple more jobs, I'm going pilgrim mode, travelling and camping with my moto. When in need of a job, I'll take temporary ones.

Based story vet bro, you inspire me. Same age, similar status, very similar situation with education benefits. Just no more gf. Ex of 5 years took off, which makes it a bit rough getting out of bed in the morning if I'm being 110% straight. Trying to curb my internet and vidya addiction, and just moving my feet through the mud, but still moving. Glad things are uphill for you fren. Despite all this doom and gloom, I still crack a smile and hold on to this idea that we're in fact all gonna make it

Hello. Were you aware that you're gonna make it?

>>55006997
Are you in a state/province/country where your job is typically in high demand?

>>55006446
Rebuild? I'm retired, this is my endgame. NEET and retirement are exactly the same thing.

Being a neet is better than anything. That's only if you are happy with your situation. In fact the less you do the better you are. Most humans only contribute to the destruction of a calm and natural world.

>I want to work for video games
It's not as fun as you think it's going to be. Sweatshop even.

I've been diagnosed with schizophrenia but wasn't diagnosed until 2013, which was 2 years after I got out. My symptoms probably started before I got out. I was diagnosed by a VA doctor. I had some stressful events while I was in and was wondering if I can claim schizophrenia.
