Hi, I am new to Psch Central, basically out of desperation. I am like a idealist to the extreme. I am not exactly depressed, just lost. I feel like I will never be able to get a job, and get ahead in my life. I am 33 years old, and I do not have money to buy groceries, etc. I feel like I run around in circles chasing my tail, and I have no idea who to turn to! I am sick of hearing myself, I am tired of applying online, and not hearing back. I feel like I a mess.

Hi, I sue can relate except I'm 15 years older. Being on Psych Central has been good to me. Although I don't answer every post I read, I try posting to those that resemble me. You don't say whether you have a therapist or not. I'm always an advocate for someone I can dump my problems and not feel guilty. Perhaps talking to someone will help you sort your feelings. Welcome and good luck! Keep us posted regarding your progress.

Welcome to PC! You can definitely find an audience here to listen to you there are a few forums dedicated specifically to Work and Careers (Work and Careers - Forums at Psych Central) and a social group dedicated to Support and Advice to Job Seekers (http://forums.psychcentral.com/group...b-seekers.html). That's probably more of what you're looking for in terms of solutions to job hunting and etc.

I'm an idealist too but depression hit me really hard. It really is born out of a sense of hopelessness and emptiness so best of luck staying strong!

Hope you can get a job soon
