Unemployed because I can’t handle anything remotely

stressful, finding myself doing things without thinking, walking the streets at night, at a loss as to what I’m doing with my life, feeling disconnected and useless.

I think I’m just going through a rather huge change in my outlook on my life and I’m not coping well with it. I don’t really know what I want to do at the moment, I can’t seem to find anything hobby wise that interests me, I get periods of intense melancholy and find my thoughts become almost nonsensical and frightening. I’m just… I feel like I’m in limbo. Neither here nor there.

try and get a job in a bar. that is an unstressful and sociable job. you get to meet loads of people and have fun whilst working.

I’m not a socially outgoing person really. I find talking to anyone I don’t know incredibly draining.

Yes running wolf, somewhat. I don’t feel like it’s falling to pieces as such. It’s more that it’s a puzzle where all the pieces are jumbled and I don’t quite know where they fit yet.

Well what do you want to do with your life? if you could do anything what would it be??
What are your ambitions, where do you want to be in 10/20 years?
Think about that then make a plan.. I feel that a good life plan can always uplift someone and get them out of feeling in a rut. x

i agree with green fairy. make a plan. think of what you are good at and what you enjoy if u want i can mention some jobs or careers that might suite you. if ur in highschool go to your counselor there is a site that helps with that too.

I am 46 lost my Job and I feel hopeless about the future with the economy the way it is I have no one in my life close relationship wise and anxiety takes over my everyday life. I wake up lost at what to do. The days are so long….looking for a job is like winning the lottery 1 in every 1000….I can’t handle the feeling when unemployment runs out that I will be living in the streets….there is way to much worry out there for everyone….I have no insurance to see a doctor…
