I registered at the labour market and my head hurts, my vision is blurry, the veins on my head, especially the ones to my eyes, are spasming. They won't pay my insurance because I have no previous job. They didn't even want to register me but i begged them saying my parents wouldn't let me come home. Which is true just I have one parent present. My eye is still spasming. I ate a dark chocolate and took an aspirin and took a shower but my eye keeps on spasms. I'm scared if glaucoma

What does registering at the labor market mean? What does that do for you? Your eye problem is most likely caused by stress.

By registering with them do they give you any money or help you find a job? Do they do anything to help you in any way?

I'm wondering if it's a bit like the system Norway has. We have something called NAV that helps with a number of things from helping you find a job to helping you out financially if you can't work. I think you have to register with them as well.

AtC,

Does this sound similar?

I am in the United States. I just searched. There is a state employment Security office that helps you apply for jobs. I just looked quickly but I did not see anything about helping you out financially. I am really not familiar with what is available here. I am really curious what assistance is available to here where she is.

I'm in Norway, so am closer😁 I can look it up.

AtC,

You have 2 people over here fighting over who helps you. Pretty cool, huh? We care.

Have u considered going to a clinic to get it checked out? Stress can manifest itself in weird ways in our body, but usually there are things that can help you deal with the physical manifestations while you are working on your anxiety

They really don't care. They just drug the hell out of me

I'm really sorry you feel that way. I know this might seem silly, but if you are looking for alternatives to medication, I wonder if there is any info online about home remedies or alternative means of lessening eye twitching? I hope you feel better

Hi AtC,

You need to find out what the labor market can do for you. I did a quick search and Bulgaria does have a universal healthcare system. This means that healthcare is available to all, regardless of financial status.
