I live in southern Europe in a country that has been hugely impacted by the crisis. I had a job and I loved it. I was always getting short term contracts, but still, I had the job. And now they're not hiring anymore.
I'm 23 and I'm unemployed (like my colleagues) since september. I seemed to have the chance to do the same job for another company a while ago, but they trained me, investing their money, and now they're not hiring anymore, because of the crisis. "Maybe in December". Maybe. It's always maybe! (By the way, I'm looking for any sort of job right now, not only mine - I just happened to get a call for the same kind of job).
I just wanted to vent, I've been abroad many times, for study, work, and for the sake of experience. I came back because I would like to build my future here. But it seems like it's not an option. Here it is even worse cause we are afflicted not only by the crisis but also by poor government and ridiculously corrupted politicians (ok I guess you figured out where I'm from at this point).
I can't bear this feeling of uselessness and hopelessness anymore. I'm in therapy (for other reasons that don't have to do with it & don't impact my ability to work in any way), and I'm even starting to feel ashamed in front of my therapist, even though it's not my fault.
Sorry for this, I'm really hopeless tonight.
