| You might be conflating a few things here. 1. Be careful not to confuse hating working for somebody else with what sounds to me like the edges of depression.
2. Entrepreneurship doesn't have to be a grind
3. You don't have to get your personal pride and accomplishment through work So you could talk to somebody about your feelings and might find some coping strategies. Let's suppose this isn't clinical depression and in fact your job is shit and you want to do something else. Think about your hobbies: if you could do something around one of them for a job, what would you do? Do you want to get a job in industry doing that, or perhaps use your skills to build something yourself? Now, don't think building something yourself has to involve raising money, hiring staff or any of that jazz. Could you freelance? Could you produce a product on your own? Something physical or a SaaS or app perhaps? Could you start a blog or vlog? What about a book? Most likely outcome is that this will _not_ make you enough cash to live off, but now you're doing something that gives you pride and a sense of accomplishment and in due course it _might_ make enough money for you to life off. In either scenario it sounds like you're in a better place. Good luck, godspeed, etc. |
Exactly on point. Overindexing on the futility of the future while simultaneously minimizing the plausibility of positive outcomes.
I have these same thoughts, and these same problems. The OP's post has left my mouth many times. Strong odds it's depression.
It's not your job. No matter where you go, there you are.
