How to change your life?
I've suddenly come to the realisation that my life has gone to complete ****.. I've pushed away all my friends, I have no job, I have no school, most of my time is spent wasting it.
I don't even know how I've let myself go so much. I guess it happened gradually so I accepted it? This whole thing started with my graduation. I lost my job due to the pandemic, my uni studies we're at home, the major I chose was way out of my league so I studied all day and had no time for social life. After burning myself out I dropped out 3 months later.
I will be starting university in september, my country is planning for it to go back to normal, if it goes to plan i'll be able to see some people
I have applied to some jobs but with no results. I have gotten so incredibly discouraged after getting denied so many times over the last 7 months. I just don't understand what's wrong with me, I have work experience, all my documents are in order, I spend an awful lot of time writing the application and most jobs i look for is fast food business, how bad can I be that im denied from a mcdonalds
After being with no job and school for so long I have barely any energy. I can do one activity and then need to take the rest of the day of. The 12-hour schedule I used to have (school/work) is completely out of my system.
What stings the most is seeing my classmates thriving, It brings up ugly emotions like jealousy and this is not who I am.
I just don't know how to get back to the way things were

Please look after your mental health by
- Getting 9hrs sleep
- Eat healthy, nutritious meals and cutting out caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes and junk food which leads to low mood & low energy
- Meditate 2x a day for 20min
- Practice gratitude and think positively. After meditating write down 10 things you are grateful for in your life e.g. you are young, have access to clean water, roof over your head etc etc.
- Exercise daily. If gyms haven't opened yet go out for a run every morning and meditate after running. Do some yoga classes in your house. It helps to relieve stress, tension and other toxins from your body. Helps to improve mood a lot!
There are so many jobs out there now in supermarkets, restuarants, retail, cafe's...cleaning, try hotels, hospitals, courier jobs etc. Continue to apply. If you are unsuccessful then reach out to recruitment agencies.
Please remember that life isn't a race. Plenty of people use their 20s to study, change careers, move countries and just live life, finding themselves. It's okay to be unsure of things and not know what you want. I dropped out of Uni once, changed courses, did my masters, had 10 different careers before I was 25. I always made sure to hang out with friends once a week, learn new things, travel 2x a year and save my money so I have no regrets.
I am planning to change careers again and become a teaching assistant.
SO RELAX! Life isn't a race. Enjoy it. Just have plans, goals and work towards them. Make sure to look after your mental health, have a social life and hobbies.

It sounds to me that you are extremely dejected by what has NOT happened in your Life up to now. There may be a physical reason, or a mental or emotional reason for these feelings to have overtaken you. If it was me I would first find a counselor to help me make it through all that I needed to do. I would have her/him help me make it through a physical exam to make sure I am okay, medically. Then I would ask the counselor to help me find a psychologist to talk through this whole mess. Make sure the match is a good one, because if you don't like the psychologist, you won't be able to advance to a better future. Seems like a lot of work, right? Take one step at a time. If you have a good counselor, or social worker to help you "make it through" you will be fine. And when things get rough, just breathe, keep breathing my friend!
