I have been unemployed for 4 years now. Been living off savings. My rent is very low or I would not be able to do this. I figured out I was abused my entire childhood by my sibling a couple of years ago and have been just giving myself time and space. I am pretty much a hermit, no friends or family are a regular part of my life. I only go out to the library or grocery shopping.
My previous career has been retail and ecommerce management, which I just ended up in but was never formally trained for. I left my last job telling them I was sick but not how.
Well a couple of days ago I got a signal that I might lose this apartment soon. And I am trying to keep an even keel. Here I would have another year or more of savings to support me. In the real world, I can't even get another apartment without proving I have income that would support a $900 a month rent or more.
Going back to retail seems like the worst thing ever. It is so very abusive and traumatizing. I was just constantly tied up in knots over it and never knew why or made the connection. So essentially my career now seems impossible for me to do. I am low on ideas how to transition into something that will pay enough. Does anybody have any ideas or been in a similar situation and found a way? I guess I just need to vent / feel less alone / get ideas on first steps here after a long confinement. Being forced into the world again seems very scary.
