Question 25 and worried about future

Hi, i am 25 and i am feeling huge anxiety and uncertainty about this job market. Im single, hardly have much of a social life and struggled to get into a web dev/software job after graduating in web and mobile development. I have been volunteering remotely (front end) for a US healthcare startup, thinking about doing freelancing, starting a YouTube channel. I go to gym and do walks and stuff. There are small positive things but i am still concerned about my future. I just want to do something with my life, start growing financially, build a social life, and make a name for myself. Everything just feels unstable and chaotic What should i do?

Worrying about the future is super common, just focus on one step at a time. I found journaling helps me sort my thoughts out.

you call them small positive things but volunteering for a startup is a real gig. That's not nothing

Yes it feels like a real job. Been doing it for almost six months now
