It\u2019s no secret that there\u2019s a stigma surrounding mental health. We talk about mental health, advocate for it, and ask for more resources, but it seems that we are fighting a long, hard battle. Depression, anxiety, PTSD – can make us feel hopeless in fighting for anything at all, as feelings of shame and guilt overcome us. We often feel shunned and we don\u2019t believe we are worthy of help because someone else always has it way worse<\/strong>. I\u2019m here to tell you that this is not a competition and your feelings are valid.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat am I going to do?\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0 – a question with many connotations. You may have asked yourself this question over and over throughout the years, especially if you\u2019ve faced career hardships. \u201cHow am I going to find another job?\u201d \u201cWhat am I good at?\u201d \u201cHow can I score the job of my dreams?\u201d \u201cHow will I afford to pay the bills?\u201d \u201cWill I ever be happy in a job that I like?\u201d<\/p>\n

The unease of being unemployed can keep you up at night in a panic<\/strong> and the mere sound of hearing someone else ask you these questions only increases your anxiety. Job searching can be a taxing activity in and of itself, especially when you don\u2019t feel qualified, but factor in the state of your mental health and you\u2019ll find yourself spiraling.<\/p>\n

If what I just said hit home, you\u2019re probably dealing with your own bouts of anxiety and depression, and if you\u2019re unemployed, you know all too well that those feelings can hold you captive until you find something to keep you on steady ground.<\/p>\n

As much as we hate to admit it, our mental health correlates with our employment status. Why is that?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve probably experienced the racing thoughts, the shame spiral, and feelings of inadequacy. Whenever I start to feel this way, I take a step back and ponder why I am having such feelings. The truth of the matter is that society has drilled it into our heads from a young age that work should define who we are and determine our worth as human beings. I think it\u2019s about time we squash that myth once and for all. It\u2019s not healthy and it compromises so much more than we realize.<\/p>\n

\"\"As a freelance writer (and let\u2019s be real here, an idealistic human being), my mission is to cultivate a career I\u2019m proud of. However, the notion of that ideal life isn\u2019t always easy, especially when I\u2019m asked that dreaded question: \u201cSo, what do you do?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imagine being asked that when you\u2019re unemployed and haven\u2019t had a steady income in over a year! I\u2019m used to the questions and the looks I get whenever I tell people that I work from home as a freelancer, or that I\u2019m a music writer with a website of my own.<\/p>\n

The most asked questions I get are:<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cHow do you actually make money from writing at home?\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhy work from home when you could be in an office with a normal job like everyone else?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Reason 1: There are plenty of work at home freelance opportunities available to pay you.<\/strong> You just have to be persistent and seek out the ones that interest you. Keep in mind that you may find yourself writing about things that don\u2019t ignite a fire in you, but it builds character and it broadens your range.<\/p>\n

I got my start writing for a well-known entertainment website in 2012.<\/strong> At the time I joined, the site was user-generated so I was lucky in the sense that I was able to build my platform by publishing my own content without someone telling me what to write about. As my work was often featured on the site\u2019s homepage, I became a prominent name for the site. Once it went through staff changes years later, I was asked to become a freelancer \u2013 meaning all those years of hard work paid off as my efforts were being recognized\u2026and I was being paid!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had mini writing hustles on the side before, but nothing compared to being that go-to person for music and entertainment features. As a young girl, I\u2019d watch MTV and read tons of magazines religiously, but I never imagined I\u2019d be doing all of that myself, just in a digital fashion.<\/p>\n

Once the site went through more changes a couple of years later, the freedom I once had \u2013 along with the overall vibe of the site \u2013 began to take a nosedive. I was asked to write about things that once made me cringe when I\u2019d see it elsewhere, but those are the breaks when media companies and their publications are fighting for likes and page views. I began to feel burnt out and uninspired. I certainly was not proud of myself. My time with them soon came to an end, but I don\u2019t regret a single moment. It was a beautiful time and the learning experience is something I will take with me forever.<\/p>\n

\"\"It was my time writing for that website that kickstarted my fire to start something of my own, so in 2015 I took the plunge and started my music site, <\/strong>The Daily Listening<\/strong><\/a>, and my anxiety has been on high alert ever since!<\/strong> Now don\u2019t get me wrong! My site is my baby and I love it more than anything, but as anyone with a website can tell you, it\u2019s not all sunshine and rainbows all the time.<\/p>\n

Anyone in the music industry can tell you how misunderstood mental health is. <\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re putting yourself out there in any way, you\u2019re bound to encounter some nasty criticism. In this day and age, it seems to be easier to send someone hateful messages and gather up an army of people to gang up on you behind a screen than it is to send an encouraging tweet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019ve witnessed and have been the target of a lot of things that break my heart to this day, and I\u2019d be lying if I said that it didn\u2019t mess with my mental health. I\u2019ve often thought about shutting everything down because the noise in my head \u2013 and from those around me \u2013 got so bad that it became overwhelming. But tough times build tough people and I think I\u2019m enjoying myself more with my website today than I was five years ago when we launched! I will admit that there are times that I still don\u2019t know what I\u2019m doing but learning as you go is better than being stagnant!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re just starting out, I will admit that writing about music – and owning your own website dedicated to it- isn\u2019t the most lucrative genre of writing, but when you love music as much as I do, it\u2019s more about the calling than anything else. I\u2019ve been writing about music for eight years and I would have never gained the experience I have by waiting for someone to hire me. In fact, I think that if I didn\u2019t take matters into my own hands, I wouldn\u2019t have accomplished anything that I wanted to.<\/p>\n

Reason 2: I\u2019m an introvert and proud of it.<\/strong> I pride myself on having the self-discipline that I do, and I find that I work much better when I\u2019m by myself without a million distractions going on around me. <\/strong>Plus, I absolutely cannot stand workplace drama. The further away I am from toxic environments, the better I feel overall.<\/p>\n

I cannot even begin to tell you how many times people have tried to rope me into being like them. Being told over and over that there is something wrong with your dreams while no one takes what you do seriously can take a toll on your mental health, and if you\u2019re a highly sensitive person like myself, that also plays a major factor.<\/p>\n

We all have different paths in life and it\u2019s ignorant to assume that everyone wants the same things or that everyone should go down the same path. How boring would that be? <\/strong><\/p>\n

However, due to the recent COVID-19 lockdowns, work as we know it \u2013 how and where we do it – has transformed. We are now seeing more and more people discovering that working from home either makes their lives easier or makes them want to return to the hustle and bustle as soon as possible. Either way, I think things are changing for the better and people are going to figure out what works best for them in the long run despite what they\u2019ve been shown all their lives.<\/p>\n

\"\"If I have learned one thing throughout my journey, it\u2019s that depression and anxiety are liars. They\u2019re two bullies who inhabit your mind and make you believe things that are not true. <\/strong>They\u2019ll tell you you\u2019re not worthy of your dream job or that you\u2019ll never be good at anything you want to pursue. They\u2019ll stop you from taking chances, leaving you in a period of stagnancy. I\u2019ve found myself at this stage many times. The more I searched for jobs, the more insufficient I felt; the levels of experience and requirements found in job listings only had me beating myself up repeatedly, but it only takes one little spark of hope.<\/strong> That one tiny spark is all you need to find the courage to put yourself out there and hope for a \u2018yes.\u2019 For me, this article you\u2019re reading right now was just that.<\/p>\n

Take the time you need to figure out what you really want out of your career.<\/strong> It doesn\u2019t matter if you work at a grocery store stocking shelves or if you\u2019re working at a highly reputable company. If you\u2019re giving your all to something, that means you care, and caring about your job is something to be proud of. Shove fear aside. As a matter of fact, tell it to shut up and go about your day being the badass that you are.<\/p>\n

Apply for things your depression tells you you\u2019re not qualified for.<\/strong> You might be surprised at what you have to offer after years of believing you\u2019re not good enough. As for me, I\u2019m working on myself every day. My mind is constantly changing, evolving, learning. We as human beings carry multitudes, and the faster we learn this, the more flexible we can become.<\/p>\n

Mental health isn\u2019t something you fix in a day.<\/strong> It is an ongoing battle with the mind. Some days are better than others and for some, most days are worse than others. The most important thing to remember is to be kind to yourself.<\/strong> Forgive yourself for the stagnancy your depression has left you in. You\u2019re not alone. You\u2019ve got this!<\/p>\n
