Jobless, Broke and Depressed.

[Hope_epoH]

It's been more than 3 months that I am jobless, worthless and broke... Super Depressed and can't hold back the hate. Life is not easy but I guess I deserve the kicking.

I pray for everything to get better. So tired...

Hi just because you don't have a job it doesn't mean you are worthless - broke yes - but that's it. I have had spells of unemployment and it's not good but something always comes up if you persevere is my experience. It might not be the job you want but anything is better than nothing. Like you I have a good work ethic and being out of work can be soul destroying.

When I lived in London there were loads of jobs but when I moved to a seaside town I found most of the work consisted of physical work such as cleaning which I couldn't do (I have always worked in admin as well). I found people here very judgemental and I got judged and slagged off as 'lazy' 'a scrounger' etc. I thought well it's the area and not me but it did hurt. Even my own father would open the papers and say there are loads of jobs here. Well there was 2/3 pages but very little admin work. So I started reading the jobs out to him. Oh there is a chef job I will apply for. Or they want engineers and so on. The other problem here is lack of decent transport as you can't get to jobs on the industrial estates without a car.

You know you are a worker so don't listen to the detractors. Something will come up soon. Good luck. x

You weren't successful gaining that job you were interviewed for last week then.

Why do you think you deserve the kicking? You were most probably suitable for the job or they wouldn't have wasted their time giving you an interview. It's maybe just that there were more people up for the job who were equally as qualified as you.

It's so tough.

Possibly was a tough decision for them to choose between you and the other candidates too.

May I ask if something happened 3 years ago that triggered your Anxiety & Depression?

Life isn't easy, but it is for living.

Rest a while, let go of all negative feelings /emotions, be kind to yourself.

Hope you feel up to contining with your job searching soon.

God Bless

You are not worthless . Yes you may not have a job an neither do I at the moment. I want to work but i winder with how bad my depression, PTSD and anxiety is if Ill even be able to. I know the feeling of being broke too its scary but the fact tgat you are trying speaks volumes. Keep trying you will get there. I dont know where you live but look into local agencies for help food, electric help, medical, maybe even rent assistance. Once again i know its not easy to do but if you need the help do it thats what its there for. I have been put down for using help but yet it was from those around me who had alot of money and would give a dime. They would help a random person but me no way. Keep on trying and keep thinking this is only temporary. Something better for you might be right around the corner. Take care.
