Anxiety of not getting a job

[SilvaLady]

Hello,

I know that there a couple of threads on anxiety and work. I have unemployed close to 5 weeks, but have been looking for jobs in the aged care sector. I have joined couple of agencies, being told that I would get shifts. So far I haven't been getting shifts. I have applied for close to 10 aged care places, but only 2 have replied that I wasn't successful. A friend told me that they would put in a word in for me, but so far I haven't heard a thing.

My anxiety levels go through the roof at times, and my mouth feels dry most of the day (although I drink plenty of water).

I like to work, as it makes me feel like that contributing to the community.

I don't know how much longer I can cope with this. I stay in regular touch with some friends, but sometimes I feel like a burden as they jobs and family.

Thanks for reading,

SilvaLady

Hello LesDave,

thanks for your kind words. I know that for most people that there are usually other "factors" or "reasons" for them not to get a job. I know what you say about the confidence, it does take a beating when one is unable to get a job or not hearing back rove with your job, be kind to yourself and look after yourself as well.

Cheers
