Jobless & hopeless

I live in my parent’s annexe with my fiancé and five cats. I’m 24 years old and feel like I’ve achieved nothing at all. With only one income (my fiancé’s) coming in, we tend to struggle a lot finacially. Stress usually occurs when this becomes too much, and we tend to snap at each other and everyone else (including the cats lol). I have no real qualifications and absolutely no confidence, what so ever! I can’t even go out for a walk on my own without feeling terrified and it’s getting worse. I know getting a job would be the end of our troubles, but not only am I too afraid of getting one, it’s almost impossible for me where I live. I sometimes feel I’m at my wits end trying to think of how to solve this problem, but I just end up getting very depressed. I should feel happy that I have the best, most wonderful fiancé in the world, a lovely family, wonderful pets and I am good at art. Yet I feel this overwhelming feeling of inner failure and fear. I just can’t get over it, no matter the circumstance. I just don’t know what to do anymore…

Answer #1

I can tell you that just by reading your question, I can tell you are intelligent, articulate and would have a lot to bring to the table at any job. Just the fact that you use the correct “é” in your question shows me that you have what it takes. Now, getting the courage to go find one is the hard part. Just tell yourself that you can do it. Perhaps consider seeing a therapist to get your confidence up. And go knock the socks off of someone who is hiring in your area.

look, your not hopeless and you dont have to be jobless. jobs may not be easy to find but when you find one the income is going to come and eventually you, your fiance and your cats can find your own location and make a house a home. life is a trip but you dont have to fall sweetheart. all this is just going to make you stronger. so just keep searching for a job and just be pacient(:
