Nothing makes me feel helpless as being jobless and not able to fend for my loved ones. It hurts so much and I am now freaking out. I am scared that my depression is creeping back. Even worse is that I don't have friends.

Hi Algebra, Being without a job is not good, you are right it can make you feel helpless. But you are not helpless and you will find work soon, if that is what you wish to do. Depression will make is difficult for you to move forward so I hope you have someone to help you with those feelings. I see sunshiny days in your near future!

I'm sorry you having such a difficult time. Hopefully having come here to PC can be of some comfort & support. There can be a lot of support available here. The more you post, & reply to other members' posts, the more a part of the community you will become.

You didn't mention if you're seeing a therapist or being treated by a physician for your depression... or if you're seeking work or just not able to be employed at the present time. But, hopefully, you have some things going on that can help you with your depression.

Here are links to some articles, from PsychCentral's archives, on the subjects of how to prevent a relapse into depression as well as a couple on the subject of loneliness & how to build a circle of friends. Perhaps some of the information in them will be of some help:

My best wishes to you...

Keep looking. Don't give up. Looking for a job is tough, but I think you can make it
