I'm 34, regular debt, college and poat grad debt, earning the same I did when I was 21, no kids, dumped. feel ****** too.
I was out of a job for 3 months and I can completely relate to how you feel.. like am I useful ? what am I worth if I keep getting rejected or overlooked for a job? there's no motivation. it's ok to feel not that great, I mean look at your hardships.
you need to do those fun things it's what will keep you sane, and you are deserving of that.. to be happy even for a moment. if you need a break from job searching and you can take it, give yourself a few days. editing your resume for every job you apply, answering supplemental questions, figuring out if you're willing to take less bc of no call backs... all that crap takes its to. you'll drive yourself crazy if you don't take a break.

Making money in the US really is not as easy as people from other countries might think. You work so hard and spend so much money on education just to make a little more and still struggle to find jobs. And the problem is that employers don't care about you at all. Instead of firing someone who's fresh out of college and is clearly feeling a little overwhelmed by certain things why not try to encourage him? I know I wasn't doing a bad job and I feel I wasn't given a fair chance at my first job in my field. People are so insensitive to everything in this country and it's just ridiculous. And hearing the same bs all the time like "oh it will be fine" or "just stop doing that" is almost baffling. Like yeah I definitely choose to just hurt myself and get angry at the drop of a hat. If you don't struggle with issues like that you don't understand and people just don't understand the fact that they don't understand (if that makes sense). But yeah I really do feel useless as of late and people aren't making me feel any better. My friends ignore half my texts or calls anymore, break off into separate groups and don't include me in hardly anything, etc. It really sucks. I'm trying to think of anything positive, but it's honestly getting harder and harder.
