I've always believed education was the path to a healthy future for me. I did not grow up in a stable and supportive environment. My home life was not always easy and I struggled through a lot of tough situations. However, I studied hard, did what I needed to cope, made it to University and graduated. When I left I really struggled to find work. I could not find a job no matter how hard I tried. I was so confused, I always thought this would be the path to success for me.
Without a job and no family home to go back to, I became homeless. This deepened my struggles and made it impossible to focus on finding a job. It's so hard to concentrate on job hunting, CVs, applications and interviews when you do not even have somewhere to charge your phone. All of these issues have really impacted my mental health and held me back from progressing. After a while, all of these pressures begin to impact your mental health.
Finally, I've reached out to some fantastic support services who've helped me talk through my issues. I now feel so much happier and clearer in my mind. Finding a stable home will help me push ahead and get me into secure employment. I'm aiming to go into Business administration which is in line with my University studies.
