I know it has to be difficult being unemployed after having a good job. Losing a job hurts. I remember I got fired from a job once about 24 years ago and it wrecked my self-esteem and plunged me into a depression. The only thing I know to tell you is to keep looking. Looking for a different job myself right now. Volunteering does help. It gives you something to put on a resume. But it also gives you a sense of purpose. I have been in a depression for about a year now, and one of the things that keeps me going is helping out with a volunteer ministry for special needs adults in my church. They are always so wonderful to be with, and they love you for just being there. Hang in there and I wish you all the best.
