Feeling Stuck but Staying Resilient: My Journey So Far
Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed. You often hear people say, “Stay positive during difficult times,” and while it sounds encouraging, it’s so much harder to actually do it. Right now, I’m in a situation where I don’t know how much longer it will take to find my way out.
It's been almost three years since I started working in the IT field. Sometimes, the journey feels exhausting. I’ve been trying my best to upskill, reskill, and learn everything I can to move forward, but despite all the effort, the positive news seems distant. The frustration of not seeing the progress I expect has been weighing on me.
I’m sharing this because I’ve been leaning on a lot of support recently, and I think it’s important to express how I’m feeling, even when it’s tough. There’s comfort in knowing that someone might understand or relate to this journey.
Though it’s not always easy to keep going, I remind myself that every small step forward matters, even if it doesn’t always feel that way. I’m trying to stay focused on the little victories and continue learning with the hope that eventually, things will turn around.
If you’re going through something similar, I want you to know you’re not alone. It’s okay to feel exhausted, and it’s okay to take a breather. Just remember, we’re all on our own paths, and progress sometimes takes longer than we’d like.
Thank you for reading and sharing in this moment with me.
