I'm in my early 20s and have the following problem:
In 2016 I finished secondary school and dropped my technical Abitur because I just couldn't handle it. As a result, I also lost my training in retail. It just didn't work out and I had two burn outs within 3 months. It was a company resignation, so not on my part.
My problem is that I'm somehow not interested in any training occupation. I get ten more horses in retail. Generally anything that has to do with finances and economics is not for me. I'm very unskilled in terms of craftsmanship and social professions are also out of the question because I suffer from depression and get along very poorly with people. I'm not allowed to do physical work because of a disability.
I've also done a lot of internships (e.g. Bakery, confectioner, retail, hospital, lawyer…). However, everything was really bad for me and I barely made it through. In principle, I have covered all areas.
I live in the country and don't have a driver's license, which makes things even harder.
As for my mental illnesses, I've been in therapy for 5 years. However, that doesn't help.
The office doesn't want to help me btw either.
In my private life I like to read, play on my laptop or with my cats.
Does anyone have any idea what I could do or what profession might suit me?
I'm desperate. I want to work, but I don't know where to start and I'm very overwhelmed. I'm slowly running out of strength to fight…
That just really touched me.
In 2017 I dropped out of the Abitur despite having good grades. (Family disputes continued until 2020). I also got very depressed (still) working in retail for a year as a temp. I found an apprenticeship in retail. I went there for 3 days and noticed that I can't stand people. Turned 21. Apprenticeship broken off… I also went through a mountain after finishing secondary school, I went through a lot as well as you, maybe a little less, maybe a little more. I have now decided for myself to say that I would like to repeat the Abitur (such a Kind of making amends for myself) while taking my time. But I know these avoidance attitudes too well. It's never too late, feel free. You can do a temporary job, you can also stay at home. Take care of your psyche first. A career can still be something even at 30, but health can't.
You seem to like animals, have you ever been to an animal shelter or maybe also to animal welfare? Or maybe at a rescue center (e.g. For birds)?
Would recommend something in the digital direction. Training as a computer scientist ex
You are in control of your life and you have to watch what you make of it.
Just complaining doesn't get you anywhere.
You make your own luck.
Maybe a job at the animal shelter, maybe as a zoo keeper.
Perhaps you should move into a shared flat in the city because you have more options.
I've already tried zoo keepers, unfortunately it was physically too strenuous.
Moving is out of the question as I have to look after a relative
I also thought, unfortunately, no company took me
I'm not complaining. I ask for help. But if you don't want to help, I ask you to please stay out of it
That was my help! Read it over again.
