Basically, I am in a position where I cannot continue to survive as things are now. I am someone who finds the idea of jail rather appealing, as I would like a designated and reliable place to live, eat and work. I can’t just move in to jail though, so I was wondering if anyone was aware of any programs or anything similar.
I am in my late 20’s, and live in Australia. I have depression, dysthymia, anxiety and probably other mental issues. I have little desire to work for any more than paying for living expenses. I don’t care about buying or having anything, nor doing anything adventurous like travelling or anything. I am basically a minimalist, and I have no education after high school.
I don’t have family or friends that I am close to. I am fine moving and living anywhere, if it’s a reliable place to continue existing.
I have spent the last 9 years working in fast food, in the back so I don’t deal with strangers. I began working a fair amount but the latter half has been only 2 days a week, just enough to survive. It is uncomfortable being a decade older than people there, and have wanted to leave for a long time, but I have never known where else to go.
I am not a selfish or inconsiderate person. I don’t want to be a burden on anyone or just get free hand-outs. I just want a place where I can exist quietly, where I can work to survive and be left alone in peace.
Does anyone have ideas for what I could do?
My biggest hope would be a job that is needing people due to it’s location, but even those might require a lot of education and prior experience. I am fine with starting off working more to learn it, or even taking a smaller course to be accepted, but I have to be realistic and honest about my lack of motivation or interest in these things, so I don’t know where my limits are.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and for any suggestions you may have. If you have any questions then I am happy to answer anything.
Hello gira, this might be a shot in the dark, but have you ever thought about construction work? You might find something fulfilling in contributing to buildings that will likely last for decades. I hope you find something you'll like!
