Just finished collegein May. Got a job right out of school. Had breakdown at the end of my second week. Back in job hunt since leaving treatment. Things seemed to finally be going somewhere. I had multiple people contact me this week and none of them went anywhere. This job search is so frustrating and is a huge trigger on my anxiety and depression. The only reason I took the previous job right out of school was my need to have the job search just be over

Hi there!

I'm sorry that you are struggling, but you will find something. I left a job in May due to being very triggered and unable to function optimally at work. I've been searching for jobs since and was just hired (yesterday).

What helped me was being intentional about my search (location, type of organization and work etc). I also browsed the lesser used job boards. Also, check within your own network of family and friends. Have you tried attending job fair in your area or virtually? Try sending your resume to a staffing agency (or a couple) so they can help with the foot work.

I know it's hard and leaves you feeling defeated when things don't work out, but you will find something.
