Jobless, hopeless, soon to be homeless

[Emz714]

At this point I'm not sure what to do. In the past 2 months I've applied to almost 200 jobs. Only job I got ended up to be a rookie scammer. Government has been "investigating" but I know they're not going to do anything. My truck is totaled but insurance refuses to pay because they're "investigating" the claim which is downright ridiculous. My bills are fast approaching and I can't afford it. Haven't eaten in almost 2 days because I'm trying to make the little food I have last. It's at the point where when I go to bed, I stare at the ceiling crying. I have no insurance so I can't get the mental help I know I need. I just don't want to live if this is what life is going to continue to be. I struggled homeless starving as a child. I'd rather die than go back to that. I've begged for a job. Any job. I'm not good enough for even Walmart or McDonalds. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm just done.

Hi Emily I am sorry to hear how tough things are right now. You’re not dumb & please don’t give up!

Sometimes in life some of us literally have not got the option of falling back & having a family member or friend to catch us! At times I literally felt if I fell back my head would smash on the concrete.

Go to your local library and ask for help with jobs interview techniques, maybe try a seasonal Xmas job or pot wash in a pub or restaurant kitchen just to get some cash coming in

Ask local council and homeless charities for help.

Go and look at nature in a forest of by the sea or just a tree or some birds - stay calm and help yourself. You are beautiful just like nature I believe in you xxx

Hi Emz,

Sorry to hear all that happening. Please hang in there, and keep holding onto hope. It’s so hard to find a job, or to have the right help when you need it. I like what was said earlier about going to local places. Churches could be another place. I’m not a super religious type, but I know that there are good people there, that just want to make sure you get what you need to make it through this difficult time<3

Hi Emz,

Firstly - that down that bio saying your "Just a stupid young adult...."! NO YOU'RE NOT. Don't think so negatively of yourself - how can you project positivity to prospective employers if even you think you're no good. You have got yourself into a bit of a hole - now claw your way out.

As others have said - go to local charities /churches for help. Im not sure what they have in the USA but we have councils over here in the UK - they look after all the local amenities - I'm sure there is something similar in the states.
