I'm having a really tough time mentally lately. Especially this week I've been feeling really intense anxious and depressive thoughts/feelings. So far these 2 illnesses have been really manageable for me throughout my life, but I think now that I've finished uni and don't have a job yet, my mind is just spiraling out of control because my thoughts haven't been occupied regularly since February. (I am trying almost every method: yoga, meditation, walks, deep breathing and occupying myself with all kinds of activities; and while they sometimes do work, anxiety and depression hit me so randomly sometimes that it makes me think miserably about all my efforts. I'm also seeing a therapist, but our next session will be in 2 days, so until then I'm asking strangers on the internet to help, lol.)

I'm really hoping that once I find a job, things will get a lot calmer in my head because it's exhausting trying to stand up mental breakdown after mental breakdown... So honestly: if you were in a similar situation as me, did getting a job help with your mental state?
