So I’m currently job hunting and I can say it’s the worst experience in the world. My job sucked but at least after work I forgot about it and did stuff I enjoyed. Now all I do is think about getting a job, work on my CV, apply to jobs I don’t even want to do, work on my CV (again) turn myself into a clown for the hiring manager’s amusement, worry about getting a job…

I have a lot of free time, and all of it is taken by job hunting. It’s the most miserable unpaid job in the world. I want to use my time to study things I enjoy, enjoy the summer weather while it lasts, hang out with friends, and focus on my deteriorating mental health. But nope. Got to job hunt. The thing is I don’t think I’m in a condition to even perform well at job hunting. I don’t get much sleep. I can’t use enough energy to apply because I hate it so much. I can’t be bubbly and happy and excited for the job at my interviews. I think it anyone looks at me it’s clear in dead inside. I’ve also isolated from all my friends because I’m ashamed to tell them what’s happening.

Please make it end.
