I fell for internships 3 times. First one was unpaid and the two after had a meme number stipend. I did night shift work on the side and took odd jobs when I got them to survive sometimes calling in sick to do some sort of single time job. I became so used to starving my weight would fluctuate by such large amounts based on if I got to eat or not. I fell for the "working for experience" bit out of desperation after applying for over 8-9 months with straight up rejections each time.
That's super fucked, tho. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. Not at all your fault.
It wasn't even my worst fell for it again moment but that was quite painful and it involved corrupt cops, politicians, rich kid (mid 20s)with daddy's money and influence to clean up after his crimes inflicted on me and someone else. Thanks comrade
stuff happens and I don't wish to blame myself but I still regret the way my life kept turning into.
