Hello chat

I upped my anxiety med dosage a bit ago and the anxiety has been so bad

Currently I am spiralling bc I've been unemployed for 3 years now and I haven't been looking for anything for the last few months bc it's made my mental health so bad i physically can't do it

I'm imagining it's going to be another few years until I'm stable enough to get back in there, and at that point I feel like I'm totally doomed due to having such a big gap and it'll be a never ending cycle

Idk if anyone feels like giving a pep talk I'd appreciate it lol

Also sry if this is the wrong comm the mental health ones mod only now so idk where to post

It doesn't need to be somewhere they've actually worked at, you could find a company that recently went under and say you had been working there. This is probably a lot more extravagant than what you would need to go through but I once asked someone how they got their first job in IT and they said they registered a fake LLC and claimed they had been working for that company for the past several years and had a friend listed as one of the employees.

ig im worried about how that'd look on linkedin, then soviet-hmm

not sure how easy it is to list fake businesses and such there

Oh it's super easy. Most places won't go through the effort of verifying half the information on your resume. I had a coworker who just straight up lied about having their degree.

I didn't even need to lie about that people just assumed i had one and i didn't correct them lol
