I’m 24, unemployed, and feel like a failure—anyone else been here?

I’m 24 (F), still living with my parents, and I don’t have a job or a stable income, which makes me feel like a complete loser. I know I shouldn’t compare myself to others, but I can’t help but think that people my age already have a few years of experience, while I’m just … stuck. And honestly, even if I try to get a job, I’m afraid I won’t do well because I don’t feel confident in my skills.

I am trying something that could eventually provide an income, but it’s not solid yet, and it could take a while. I feel stuck between continuing to pursue it or just finding a stable job. I don’t know what the right move is.

On top of that, I’m dealing with depression and childhood trauma, which makes it hard to even take things day by day. I’m trying to move forward, but sometimes I feel lost.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? I’d love to hear some perspectives.
