Hello Nastia, I'm 30 and planning to also completely rebuild my life in 2024. Keep sharing your journey with us, I would love to hear how it goes and I hope you don't feel alone. We can do this!
I’m 27 and married, and I was just let go after my company closed. It was in no way my interest or passion. Now I feel exactly the same way, lost, crippled by a desperate need to discover my passion or the “right” career. I’m grateful this video came across my feed, you have my support and know, so many others are dealing with similar circumstances
Hey Nastia, got your video recommended on my frontpage, probably in a pretty similar situation, I´m 25 and worked my whole teen life on studying Product Design. back in 2019 when University would have started, I had a pretty big car accident and was scared after that to even look at cars, for months i didn´t leave the house, having panic attacks, falling into social media, eating and video game addiction. I had this weird sharp pain in my chest, went to doctors since I was scared to die every day because of that, doctors found nothing, physically i was healthy, but mentally i was a wreck wich made me think I had all these physical symptoms. I couldn´t drive every day 1hour to university and back and follow my dream that I was actually good at, It destroyed me mentally. So one day I just asked my mom to drive around the block with me. It was scary, it was the biggest jump I had to ever make in my life, and somehow, as soon as I started driving, I realised that it wasn´t that big of a deal, day after day I went driving with my mom, and I realised that I have nothing to worry about, then Covid came and the world stopped again, not only for me, probably for many people, again, I was at the starting point, isolated in my room, no social contacts outside of family, and Im at my early 20s at this point, where ppl normally get into relationships, meet new people, new friendgroups, bla bla bla... well, fast forward, I worked some small jobs here and there during covid, the fear of driving is gone, well, I know it used to be there, its a part of me, everything we lived through is a part of us right? But I´ve accepted it and live with it but I dont let it impact me now, or in the future, Am i feared it will come back? Yes. Will it come back? I dont know, maybe, but if it comes back atleast I know how to tackle the problem, so i see it as a learning. Now at the moment, the realisation that Product Design is not a career that is worth comitting to is hard, It was my dream, It somehow is still my dream, the thing I worked towards my entire school life, but, low pay, deadlines, AI implementation, not many jobs in that area where I live, 60+ hour weeks, stress, Bosses that dont know anything about design talking your work down are things I think i dont want to live with, and are no good for my future, I´ve got to know what I want. again, I learned somthing about me. Maybe this dream will haunt me for some more time, but at least I was able to get a 3rd eye view on the situation I´m in. I´ve now got my eyes on stonecarving, an interesting job, that has still to do with designing and creative work, and its also a safe job since people pass away and their familys want to build beautiful graves for their loved ones once they are up there. Am I sceptical about stonecarving? Yes? will I like it? I dont know? But at least I have a perspective now. Before discovering Stonecarving wich was about two weeks ago, I´ve had a depressive episode, no good sleep schedule, no routine, no job, no career, just sitting in my room all day doing nothing usefull. the worst things came to my head. I was talking myself down for wasting time, being a disgrace to my hard working parents, abusing their love and support for me, comparing myself to friends that work at Microsoft now, have girlfriends, nice cars, and so on.... I wasn´t seeing any light at the end of the tunnel. Now at least I see a little light, wich can lead me the way towards the end of the tunnel and to wich I can hold onto, who knows, If I wouln´t have the accident I could have lived a happy life, with my dreamjob, a wife, 2kids, a dog and a house outside of the city, or I could be miserable and maybe In a worse situation than I am in now. We as humans tend to think in that ´´what if´´ but that is false, life happens, If life was a straight line, it would be no life. without pain, there is no happiness. I think we humans need a perspective, something we can work towards, something that inspires us to keep going. My Grandma lost her first child days after it was born, her husband at 40, she was raising my mother and her brother alone in a country where she couldn´t even understand the language, then her son passed away at 47 in 2018 when she was 68, she still kept going, raised her grandchildren, even put money away for us. And she did only one thing, she looked forward. And guess what? She still keeps going. She inspires me, she is the thoughest soldier in my opinion, I hope she somehow, inspres you aswell. I believe in you, I believe in me, I believe in everyone.
I also find it interesting the timing in which your video was recommended to me. Sending you so much strength. Highly recommend the self development workshops by To be Magnetic to navigate your rockbottom. Take care.
Hi Nadia - you mentioned not wanting to take a job that would not bring you fulfillment, but maybe a job like that which would at least show some progress in a direction could provide you more fulfillment than treading water now? Just a thought. I wish you the best.
Hi! It's Nastia) I am learning skills and working on creative projects that are not being monetized at the moment. But it is investment in the future hopefully. I am also not giving up on finding a job in UX/UI despite difficulties and my dislike of the job. It's just overwhelming to juggle all of it at the same time
I only mention it because my profession is not my passion. My profession is something I'm good at, and something I've developed based off my skillset - despite the fact I don't actually enjoy it. I prefer to keep my passions separate from my career because I've always felt like my passion would become tainted by the need to monetize it. So, I went against what everyone told me to do. Everyone told me to pursue my passion, etc. Instead, I pursued the actual thing that we work for: money. And I found the most efficient way to attain that money such that I can pursue my passions in my free time with no worry of how I'll make ends meet. Its working out really well for me so far. Just a thought@@NastiaNemro
Nastia , you have expressed exactly how I am feeling. Would love to connect further and message you to talk more. I’m a 26f from the United States. Let me know if you’d like to connect!
interesting. i'm going trough a simillar situation and yt recommended me this video. as for the news skills/income, have you tried making a mindmap or brainstorming of all possibilities? sharing and rambling and venting is good, it decreases the internal pressure that builds up. i'll follow you channel, i have a feeling it will be interesting :-) "That which you most need will be found where you least want to look." - Carl Jung
Yes, I have tried many things to find my calling. Making lists was one of them and it is effective. But I think that trying and failing at bunch of stuff is much more useful. However I have been too scared to do that. hopefully that chapter of my life is over. I think filming and posting this video was one of the scariest things I've done lately and a big step outside of my comfort zone. I'm open to see what comes next
Hi Nastia, and all the other people lost in their lives UA-cam recommended this video to! I am in a similar situation, and ironically decided to drastically reduce the time I spent on social media and youtube to help me get back on rails, before I stumbled on this video. I know peer pressure helps me keep my word, and I am probably not alone in this case, so would any of you be interested in making a Signal/whatsapp/whatever group to keep each others accountable? I wish you all all the best, you'll make it
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your journey. Feeling lucky to be able to take a peek at your new beginning and see where life takes you!
Thank you for sharing! I think you will be fine! Change can seem hard at times! Life is showing you a new way! Trust it with an open heart! Welcome the new! Best wishes!

Thank you for the beautiful video & sharing. My prayers are your way for an uplifting path forward. You will once again find your purpose and career!

Hello! not a bad idea with the chat group. You can create one and everyone who's interested can join!
