Having a very hard time lately, lostynjob about 3 months ago and still can't find one. My Menopause is killing me with depression. Can't feel normal at all anymore. Just always sad and frustrated and don't have the drive that I need to get a job. Any ideas to bring my mood back to normal so I can get things done.
LL just raised the rent AGAIN, so that's no help either so if nothing happens soon it back into homelessness. Please help with any suggestions. TIA

It is very normal for you to feel the way you do. Just remember, this shall pass. When it comes to stress and worrying, you have to remember to focus on what's in your control(finding and applying for jobs), and stop constantly focusing on what's not in your hands. This doesn't solve everything but gives you the best chance to get out of the mess since your focus isn't divided on things that are out of your control

" say Don't Give Up , Because thats Nothing But the devil , put in appreciations after appreciations , got to every temp agency that you come bye , even if you have to look em up"

I searched an applied application after appreciation, while I was in garland , I applied at QT , jack in the box , sonic , McDonald's , no one hired me. I was searching the whole 2025 year for an job than outta no where xl pro staffing hired me for an job that was in pleasant grove Dallas TX From August 21 - Oct. 9th , of 2025. So dont be down , looking sad because your not being hired , stop pray , finish praying , and accomplish it with your chest out , like your super mane ..apply apply apply , because their are still homeless individuals that are still asking for hand outs , because probably they've probably been out in the streets so long , there mind set is throwed off , so hard , they're not able to bounce back , so all they know is to have they're hand out ..
So look back , jot down jernal - write down your frustration , as long as you apply you'll be just fine..
An be sober because us employees dont know when they're the managers at the jobs or the employees at the temp agency will drug test us (employees ).

In the same position. I just tell myself that millions are homeless and being one of them is bound to happen to us at some point. I don't fool myself into thinking its ok but I know that I've gotten myself out of homelessness before and I can do it again.
