I am 30, and I have held over 25 jobs since I started working at age 15.

Looking at age 18 and beyond, I worked mostly in EMS between ages 20-22. I had a misdemeanor conviction during that time stemming from another state, ultimately losing my EMT license because of that.

While serving supervised probation for 3 years, I was on disability for severe mental health issues.

I started attempting to reenter the workforce at age 25 as a software engineer. While I have around 4 years in that industry, I have never held a job down in anything my entire life for a year or more. It is like 10 months here, 6 months there, and 4 months there... you see? What screwed me up was I was caught in a predator sting because I made stupid decisions out of desperation. I was never charged or convicted, but some of my past employers caught word and I lost 2 jobs over that.

Now, I am trying to regain momentum, but I just recently lost another tech job and struggling to land a new one.

I am having a lot of health issues form or become worse, both mentally and physically. My stress levels are through the roof. I am having frequent headaches, heart palpitations, and feel like my body is deteriorating. I am only 29. Turning 30 next month.

• Access to adequate and timely healthcare has been an immense struggle. A physician told me recently, in her 40 years of being a doctor, she has never seen insurance coverage this bad. She believes health insurance is working against us. Wait times are long to see any specialist. Copays are crazy if they even do accept insurance in-network. I have severe mental illness and getting affordable mental health care here locally is a nightmare. I am a complicated case with medications.
• I just recently as of a month ago lost my job. I witnessed two mass layoffs at my company in my short tenure there
• I am struggling to acquire new employment in my industry. In addition, I am having to distinguish between legitimate job postings and recruitment scams. Scams and fraud... it is everywhere.
• All these illegals are pouring in everywhere. In addition, people are moving here in the drives from up north and California. My assumption is they are trying to escape the high taxes, woke politics, and corrupt governments in their states. They are overwhelming our resources here and my hometown is struggling to adapt and accommodate a massive influx of people. Knoxville, TN was listed as the second most in-demand housing market in the nation. Our state does not collect state income taxes.
• I was mistreated horrendously at the hospital ER when I had my kidney stone. I was placed out in the lobby in my underwear writhing in the most severe pain I experienced in my life.
• People are mean, self-centered, and greedy. Family units are falling apart and support systems are diminishing.
• Everything is so expensive. I payed $80 for 3 bags of groceries a couple days ago. That was WITH my value card. Skimpflation and shrinkflation is running rampant.
