Current Events > What should i do with my life?

(+) Yeah! (+)

2nd day on antidepressants and i feel great. I am thinking up goals and such today.

I originally wanted to be a video editor since i already have some skills in that. But i do not know if i should dedicate my time to this career path anymore. The pills are making me feel like i can do anything but i know this is a hard field to learn and with me being on disability i would like to stay on it and try to find cash work so i can keep all my benefits. Realistically i only need to make around $1000-$2000 per month to be happy because my debt to income ratio is really good.

I feel like my idea is not bad but its just hard finding freelance work as an editor that pays well in comparison to the work involved. I guess that is the price of working on your own and not at a facility where the work is gotten for you.

I dunno what to do guys. I know for sure i do not want to go back to school though. I can learn everything i need to myself from home. I just do not know if i am choosing right. It feels like everything is a gamble at this point. Even if i get really good at video editing i might not find enough work to make the extra income i need.

A horned toad can tell you which way to go.

My friend got a job teaching video production at a community college. After that, she edited courtroom videos for money

Glad to hear that that the antidepressant is working for you

I already have a dope computer i bought for video editing and everything. Its just that there seems to be so much competition out there i do not see the point of websites like elance, freelance, upwork, fivver etc. Ultimately i want to take the client off of that website and have them work solely with me which can be hard to do. The other thing i can do is probably offer my services to people by joining discord communities or something.

I wish antidepressants did this to me. They just make me feel like I'm wading through mud.

Try editing wedding videos for people I guess - birthday parties and all that, maybe stuff for engagements

Music videos for local bands? All you really have to do is show up to a show, film it and then send it to them I guess

I imagine when i ask my psychiatrist to prescribe me antidepressants this feeling of energy might go away somehow, i started taking them without consulting with him first and i feel major relief from the feelings of sadness and hopelessness. Sometimes i feel like that guy is just secretly trying to murder me.
