Having a job or a mission no matter how futile raises your self-esteem. You need a high self-esteem to find a job or start a mission. That’s the challenge of today. The best opportunities come when you have savings and you have the time to work on your projects but it often takes time, there are many failures and self esteem is crippled.
Depression starts when you are alone and you don’t meet people or do any physical activity. Having your mother next to you is often a way to accelerate the process.
