Don’t think I’ve ever been this depressed in my life. It’s killing me being unemployed for a year and a half watching friends and family get promoted, get new jobs, and ask me why I’m not working. I’ve applied to hundreds of jobs. I even got rejected to work retail at a couple clothing stores. Idk what else to do. I’ve made multiple final rounds only to get ghosted after 6+ interviews. Everyone now just takes one look at this huge gap and kicks me to the curb.

Almost a year here and I know how you feel. If you can afford it, try to get an unpaid job so you can fill the gap. It also helps a great deal with feeling competent and capable. Hang in there! They say it’s a numbers game so they have to be in our favor at some point!

It's been over a year for me too. But God has been so faithful and shown Himself as truly Jehovah Rapha my provider.
Also, I bet if you look at what has happened in the last year, you'll find there were things you were needed for and wouldn't have been able to do if you were working.
I myself have been able to be available for helping my roommate through some recent health issues.
So tell God thank you for using you and get back at it until you find something.
And if anyone asks again just tell them God needed you for other things.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I think a lot of us are having a hard time.
