I'm a huge fucking LOSER.

I failed once or twice and then I just kept losing for a looong time now.
I know it's stupid to even ask here but I am desperate and against the wall so to speak.

Context:
>Graduated in 2023, Software Degree and IT course (didn't know the market would get saturated this fast)
>2024 I tried to get a job the way you usually do
>2025, went abroad for work and only managed to hold a job for 3 months until the contract ended and the business changed owners
>2026, basically fully NEET and back in my home country after pussying out overseas
>Did a course in teaching English because I thought it'd get me short term cash (it did not)

So, what do I do?
I know any plans of having 'fun' 20's are over and done with but even the idea of getting anywhere in life seems impossible to me.

Also:
>Addicted to Doomscrolling, can't get enough sleep
>Not sure how to socialize or network if it's even possible for me
>Flat broke
>Most likely have some form of ASD and trauma, as pathetic as that sounds

I am trying to fix these things all at the same time but maybe I should look into getting meds or something.
I think I might be depressed or burnt out or something. I don't recognize being this fucked up, even as a teenager.
I just want to make money and be left alone now.

Maybe look into accepting a shittier job so you can coast for a bit

I graduated with a CIS major the same year as you and im also 25. Stop being a NEET and work as a bartender/factory worker/whatever until you can get a tech related job. I had to work as a computer repair man for a year after graduation before I lucked out and got an IT job. It takes several hundred applications, dozens of failed interviews, and luck before you can land an IT gig.
Also you arent a loser because you dont have an IT job you just feel like one. I live in an apartment and work full time and i feel like a loser because im emotionally underdeveloped as a grown ass man. Only things that make me feel better about that are gym/running and my hobbies.

I tried that locally with very little luck.

After I get my setup back to normal, I'll do some more freelance work.
I won't rule out anything at least.

I will, I'll get back into the market.

>It takes several hundred applications, dozens of failed interviews, and luck before you can land an IT gig
That's fair, yeah. Seems like a lot but there's no choice anyway I guess.

If at first you don't succeed, try again

BUT only if you try differently

>BUT only if you try differently
Do you mean my mindset about things are about my career choices?

I will admit, I haven't had a clear roadmap for my life for the past year.

>>34546883
Get your T-levels checked, just to be safe.
>>
>>34546883
Let's build a SaaS together.
>>
>>34550880
Uh, how would we do that? Like via 4chan I mean.
>>
>>34550836
Should I get a full checkup for that, or should I wait until I am able to do this during an actual checkup?
