No one is going to come help independently, people are to self absorbed in there own life , to notice someone else is drowning nearby .

You should not sweat asking someone for help , if we were all super human and the world wasnt so complicated everyone could do everything all the time ,until then there is reality, if you reach out for help enough someone will be reaching back to help , I was a different kind of kid when my mom was alive , I owed her anything she needed times ten for all the sacrifices she made to ensure that I grew up to be a good human being , with that in mind don't hesitate to even just call and bounce ideas off your son , no he can't solve anything but when we are to close to something our judgement becomes compromised , I am sure you have heard the saying "can't see the woods thru the trees" it's the truth , and you may think a bomb went of at home because you know what everything is and it's over whelming you , when I needed to move all my stuff wax spread between my house and a storage locker , I can't lift anything heavier than 2.5 pounds with each arm , my mom was going to be out of the country and couldn't help so she made a phone call and had perfect strangers at the time lined up outside with a truck so all I had to do was sit and tell them what I needed done, I know them all now and am so grateful for there help, it was Sisters and the from the local monastery , they considered it an honor to help me, one of them was 89 years old helping me move as a late 30's guy at the time, it was humbling , to have more people offering help than I even needed ,so one group stayed with me to pack and the other went to my new place to unpack things and put them in there place when they arrived. They helped with no judgements, a smile and muscles I don't have anymore, of course I know and love them all now , and these days with my mom having lost her battle with cancer and me being alone , I am not because the sisters of the monastery come by for tea and take me to dinner and just make sure I am OK, they are very happy to be of service , that's a resource for you just make the call, they don't know you need something if you don't ask . Nothing is as big or imposing as we perceive them to be from an outsiders point of view , so if you do nothing else today reach out to someone and share your burden , he'll I make jokes about but it's not really funny I have PTSD and sometimes I don't feel able to make a decision about what to eat but I am trained to run an entire city in an emergency, so honestly what I said about being to close to something I say that from the heart and experience , everything is perspective don't forget to step back breathe and look around .

And as far as unemployment are they high ? Sacrifice your education today for a full time job that may not be there next week or next year, they should be embarrassed about there own stupidity.
