I’d use the word ‘fulfillment’ and I’ve tried everything to find even a little bit of it. I want to do work that matters, that doesn’t force me to contort myself every moment and that I can earn an actual living doing. I’ve tried everything I know to do — mentors, career counselors, therapy, volunteering (which is hard to have energy for when you have to work a day job and are managing a sleep/health condition) — with my very limited resources and nothing has worked. Nothing at all feels right in this world and every time I’ve asked for help has left me deeper in despair. I’m actually not even sure why I’m commenting here since most replies, if there are any at all, on other posts about work I’ve commented on are startlingly insensitive or unhelpful.
