Advice on how to get out of my head regarding my future.

I just graduated college, and I haven’t had any jobs come my way. My anxiety and depression have been through the roof because of this. I haven’t been able to sleep let alone eat a full meal. I know it takes time, but I feel like I’m not doing anything with my life. Not too long ago I also got out of a very toxic manipulative relationship that took a huge toll on my mental health. I’m having a hard time trying to move on from that and focus on myself.

Thank you for asking about this important transition in your life.  BetterHelp counselors help people with this transition often.  The step from college to employment is a big one.  Often people are led to believe that the job will just suddenly materialize because of the degree and graduates are often disappointed in the time between graduation and the job offer.  Many graduates have had to take jobs outside of their degree field just to begin to get the income they need to pay bills.  This can be very frustrating for many new graduates.

BetterHelp counselors have all been through the same experience.  Having to do this difficult transition.  We are here to help you.  We can review your resume - discuss places to look for jobs like www.usajobs.gov and how to present for interviews.  We have all done this.

We may be able to give you suggestions that you may not have previously thought.  Depending on your situation and your goals we may be able to help you focus and put yourself out there in the job market.

Additionally, as your frustration builds, the counselors at BetterHelp can help you with the stress, anxiety and depression of what to do next.  We understand that you have personal goals and we can help you focus on the goals in a targeted manner.

Additionally, we understand the obstacles that individuals may face from their past and help you through it.  Plus, if you have been experiencing mental health issues, how to cope effectively with them.  We can walk you through the day to day process by being here for you.

You mentioned that you were in a very toxic relationship.  The counselors at BetterHelp can help you maneuver through those issues and regain your self-confidence.  We are here to help cope with the after effects of the toxic relationship and how to create personal boundaries, self-esteem, and self-confidence.  How to consider your next relationship.  We can help you focus on yourself - on your self-care, your values, and your ways of thinking.
