I didnt start my career in tech until I was 28, that was 4 years after graduating, and not from MIT. Ended up homeless for 1 of those years... Dont give up! Try to replace the doom scrolling and sulking with hobbies, I know it's hard, but try to move those hobbies into communities. Join an OSS project or something like that. It will continue to build experience and open doors. Im now 15 years into working nearly uninterrupted and have recouped any dignity, money, etc. My new fear is that Im a Principal and fuck me applying for those roles! No advanced degree... Im basically a junior again XD

You will survive. Don't give up. Unless... you honestly find an alternative career in your journey.
