I worked at a job that I liked for about 15 years but I lost it due to the economy. I can't collect unemployment. I haven't started looking much yet but I know jobs in my field are scarce. I just want to work part-time and it's more for self-esteem though the money helps too, of course.

I feel really depressed about this. There was a chance for a job I wanted but I found out today that the position is filled. I don't feel like volunteering. I want to be paid. I don't expect anyone here to find me a job, but just wanted some hugs and support. Thank you.
