    1. Temp job got extended to a few weeks
    2. Recent master program graduate needing major life advice
    3. I need a push to start applying to jobs again and to do career skill development. 30F, really depressed and undergoing CBT every week. I live with my partner and we have some savings to go by but I keep dreading studying because I feel like its boring and what's the point if I can't find a job even.
