I've been job searching for nearly two years, and it's taking a toll on my mental health and my relationship. I recently lost one of my long-term freelance gigs, and the job market seems to be even slower this year than last. I graduated from a top art school and landed an internship at my dream studio, but after working on some high-profile projects for three years, I was laid off for the second time. This time, I feel like I can't bounce back. The time and money I've invested in pursuing a career in the gaming and animation industry have led me to regret my choices. My self-esteem is at an all-time low, and it's affecting my relationship with my partner. He's incredibly supportive and has offered help, but I can't shake the feeling that I'm going to ruin things between us, just like I feel I've ruined my career. I often have mental breakdowns and feel like I'm not the person he fell in love with. I worry about the future and how I'll make a living. Sometimes, I even think it might be best for me to break up with him, as I feel like a burden. I'm overwhelmed with anxiety and guilt, and I just don't know how to find a way out of this situation.
