Dear New Member~

That sounds a pretty serious thing and quite frankly if I knew the secret I'd make a fair few life changes:)

 

Would you like to say what it is about lack of money is bad at the moment? It could be anything from food to weed to rent. I'd really need to know more before trying to make any suggestions.

 

In the mean time I hope you troubles ease off a little

If you don’t work then you have no money.

Have you been able to get social security, it's not a lot but can be a help?

Having such a hard time in your younger years wiht other peple it could well make someone reluctant ot go out and be wiht others.

Then again it can be simple lack of opportunity.

 

Do you have anyone to  support you, either with finances, or else just caring about you?

 

I hope to hear more from you

I guess if you are like many people you are caught in the job-seeking treadmill, a soul destroying way to be. There are so many applications to write, CV's to be tweaked and even interviews. Then the waits, and if it is a good firm you will get an answer, one way or the other,  if a unfeeling firm you never hear anything.  

 

I found hte best way to stop it taking over my whole life and making my depression worse was to strictly draw a line. Say up till noon on job seeking, and from then on having nothing to do with it. Try to have a life that is as far away from jobs as possible.

 

I also found reserving something nice to do at the end of the day helps, it does not have to be big or important, maybe a tv show, a book, a walk, dunno, whatever can put your thoughts into a different frame of mind. Something to look forward to during the day.
