Hey there
I sincerely hope all me comrades are having a nice day
I’ve been in a somewhat not amazing situation for quite some time (not best mentally, in transitioning and unemployed again), thought I’d ramble a bit and ask for a little advice. I despise almost every job I get and years of constant stress are ruining my physical and mental health to the point where I struggle to keep on going at all. I don’t want money from anyone here but I’m trying to figure out how I could fill my budget before I stabilize a bit more and will be able to keep a job which should happen later in the summer.
A friend suggested a free psychological counseling available here where I live which might be a good start.
I’m getting a little bit of income that pays for ~40% of my room rent and receive some help from the family (mostly food). I generally stick to intermittent fasting and get ready to sell some music gear I don’t use much. I used to make some small money doing side gigs (physical labor) or constructing a tiny website here and there but I’m not an experienced developer and it shows so can’t do it professionally. I found learning python and c++ fun btw (clears my head from worries (: ) but it seems I have to sort out adhd stuff to think about rebranding seriously.
Generally if anyone has any ideas how I could earn or save some extra cash to deal with a small crisis, I’d be very happy to read some advice.
Hugs
I’d avoid internment fasting. Instead, it’s better to eat something more often but cheaper. My cheapest diet plan is basically beans, rice, carrots and onions with whatever greens I can get + a few more stuff. You may look up what cheapest veggies your area (hopefully) has unless you’re in Greenland.
If you want to become a dev, you should look for more webby things like Python and JS. I don’t think C++ is helpful for junior jobs
My digestive system is very picky and I find it easier to schedule a couple hours during the day when I can risk some mild discomfort or sluggishness rather than snack all day and feel so-so all the time (: but rice, veggies and unprocessed meat / small amount of diary is generally safe.
Thanks for the advice. I will stick to webby things for now
goto a local asian or middle east grocer - humus, za’tar and white wine vinegar - mix with red chilli flakes, salt and garlic to preference.
I eat it with a 6 pack of pitta breads that I steam in a toastie machine/tabletop grill by dripping some water over the top - works out to be about a week straight of healthy lunches for about £3-4 (granted a bit more if you need to buy some of the other bits but it gets cheaper to reload once you do)
