"The future makes me physically panic" - me too long time ago m8, I'm glad I m not alone with this when I have read ur post. I have been thinking there is something wrong me.. The only twist between us is that I'm unable to get into the tech industry ' cos lack of relevant experience and age.

"I have nothing on my resume that could get me hired in another industry." - "How can I escape?" All I can suggest you is, think about what would u like to do what are you good at in, create some reference in that industry with domains and make some international experience also therefore you are able to reply for the reference check. After that sell yourself on the interview. Non tech industries are not that smart as whom works in IT. I know that because unfortunately thats how how I operate to survive this life.

sorry for the bad english, thats my third language.

You and OP are not alone I'm with You :) Take a time and read about burnout: what is that, reasons of that and what to do. (There is a plenty of sciencific papers about this) It's really a killer! I have it 2 times in 6 months at one workplace, before I managed to leave.

I'm feeling kinda better now, but this feeling of panic will never completely leave me.
