You are not alone, OP But here is a virtual hug 🫂 Life got a little hard lately There is nothing called wasting my life You need to work on all your life situations that are causing you to be miserable. Why do you feel you wasting your life ( analyzing what kind of mental distortions leading to this) I had the same kinda thinking what my therapist called balck and white thinking which made me a perfectionist and having unrealistic life standard on my self 🤔

Reply to [story] I (M28) started a job as a nighttime security officer in January 2022, changing my lifestyle which made me gain some weight. After trying my short-sleeved uniform from last spring, I’m only now realizing how bad it’s gotten, not able to button a single button. Need to start to reverse this. by MisterOwl_94
Nightshift in itself is bad its not you. Night shift leads to an increase in cortisol level night shift is very lonely leading to more stress and how do you cope with that by eating alot, Plus security guard job is kinda sedentary unless you patrol alot. My advice to you find a new shift during the day less cortisol more social life more happiness less food. If you cant find a daytime job quickly in the mean time you can do little changes to help you . Take your vitamin d supplement please and get a lot of uninterrupted sleep try to get enough sun during ur days off have a good social support.
