Yes, you’ve heard me right. I’m unemployed for a year now and getting depressed all the time with no hope on the future for me. I’m well educated but still getting offered like below minimum wage. It’s so hard to get a decent job and make something useful. I feel depressed all the time and this effects my reading ability so much. I can’t focus and go out since I’m broke. Luckily, my family didn’t kick me out yet but I feel like lost all ambition and desire to make something. I fear now, I’m gonna quit from living and be a number on a capitalism’s victim list. I’m struggling to find a reason to live nowadays.

This is what capitalism wants you to feel, so that you can sell your labour for less. Don't give up. Take up a hobby, participate in a club or charity, learn a new language, socialise more, do anything to give you a purpose. A job isn't a purpose, it is just a means to it. So focus on things which make you happy and keep looking for a job opportunity.

I know people who also have a good education but struggle to find a good job in this economy, so this is pretty normal. Even living in your parents household is commonplace, since not many can afford their own housing. Believe me, there are a lot of people out there in the exact same situation.

Just remember this one thing: never give up.

Thanks for the message comrade. I’ll be trying to learn Russian or Chinese just out of curiosity

From my experience studying them, both are somewhat difficult (or at least different), but very rewarding. I sincerely wish you good luck!
