I've applied to over 50 places, even downplaying my experience and still after 6 weeks. I've only gotten 3 calls or emails for interviews. How about this, we the people looking for a real job, if you're NOT HIRING & POSITIONS R FILLED, please take them off the site. I have never in my many years of being employed went this long, 6 weeks, mind you without a job. This is ridiculous. Yes I'm venting as its unfair, so unfair. Rant over. Depression has set in and all I can do is cry all the time.

When I fall into depression my tools are gratitude, social time, church, and prayer to help me find balance. I pray for your success and stability. I am hoping the best for you.

Thank you. I can use all the positive vibes I can get right now. I'm really at a crossroad in my life and truly think that it may be God's calling for me to broaden my horizon, so I signed up for my real estate license as well as made the decision to move back in with my parents, due to their health. I've also decided to start writing a book about my life, as I am a recovering addict with 15 years clean and sober. FYI, my parents live 15 minutes away from me, lol. I will continue to apply for jobs, write my book and take my course. Heck who knows, I may continue to add certificates as well. Have a blessed day

Here’s a perspective. When I lost my job it took 8 months to land a new one. Don’t panic at 6 weeks. You’re just getting started. Stay calm and patient and something will work out. Rooting for you! Be grateful that your family is close by (mine is on another continent). You got this!

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)
