Out-of-work depression blues?
I’m so depressed. I haven’t had a full-time job since August. (A couple of minor jobs, but I have made almost no money.) Compared to how much I spent on rent and food, I am going to be broke soon.
And just this morning I called to set up a meeting with a Employment counselor, but I guess I offended her because she hung up twice.
And tomorrow I am going to wake up and have no idea what to do. My brain is so muddled, I can’t sleep, and these (silly) trains wake me up every hour.
I’m sort-of paralyzed by fear, doubt, worry.. everything I try to do ends up being rubbish which equates to I’m rubbish. Argghh, I’m very frustrated. And lonely.
What do you think I should do?
I didn’t say anything bad! I asked what services they provide, she said she would set up an appointment and then she hung up. I figured it was an accident, but when I called back she did the exact same thing. .. It was very disheartening.
I think you should maybe speak to people a little better. What did you say to the employment counselor to get her to hang up not once but twice? I think it is all about how you are reacting to people. Even if you don’t want to be you have to be nice to them. Interviews are all fake…everyone knows it! You need to calm down a little. The stress is affecting you. maybe you could go and speak to a pharmacist and see if there is anything that you could take to help you. Maybe seeing a doctor if you need something stronger. But if you want to chat to someone feel free to email me…I will be more than happy to try and help.
EDIT: Sorry to have autimatically blamed you. Maybe she was just having a bad day. Also, there are some people they do the little extra to help people and then there are others that just do the basics because they don’t really care and are only there for the money. Sad but true! Could you maybe call and speak to someone else? Most people usually ask if there is anything else they can help you with before hanging up. Don’t worry about people like that and sorry for judging you so harshly before! Maybe I am just having a bad day! See, my advise is true!
