Sucks man, but good that you’re remaining optimistic :) It’ll work out.

What kind of work?

+ — there it is!

Sorry, just thought something like that might help a bit. I’m sorry that this is happening :( Don’t give up. You won’t achieve anything if you just give up. Things like this happen every day, and plenty of people make it through. You can do it just as well as them.

At least you’re employable and don’t have a huge mortgage and a family to support.

Well I’d be lost without my overdraft. That should cover your a£$.

isnt the interest on that outrageous? I am going to see if I can get seasonal retail until I fins something. Tis the season right?

It is indeed.
Yeah the interest is crazy but at the very least it means you can survive and pay your bills and buy your food, all that you need.
Student loan debts are something I’ll be dealing with in the not too distant future. Can’t wait! -.-

Please do not give up. that is the last thing that you need to do at this point. be stronger than ever through this bad time. the weak give up. i know you are a very strong person. Things will turn out for the better once the hardship is over. this hardship is what makes or breaks a person and i know you will come out on top. As for seeing the positive you have a roof over your head. You are attending school to better yourself. and you are waiting for a better job to come along. You have your health. You have your friends. Your family. Perhaps a vehicle. Cloths on your back. all this may seem common everyday things but we don’t realize how much we take what we have for granted. I hope i have helped a little.
Good Luck my friend

Sorry helper626, but it doesn’t sound like he has too much to take for granted at the moment.. Sometimes it’s just ok to feel like crap because your situation sucks. And brother, it sounds like your does. Trust me I feel your pain. I’m not going to tell you that you’ll get through it, because that’s not the point. Take a day, relax, promise yourself not to worry and just rest for that day, and tackle it all once you’ve reset a little bit. And don’t worry about the lease, most of the time there are ways to easily get out of them.

True but he could be homeless with no roof no food no friends no job no future and poor health. considering he has most of that i think he has it pretty good. things look dicey yes but still be thankful for what you do have. valid point about taking a day to rest.

Thanks helper626. What I really mean is that what you have (ie roof, food, friend ect) does not always directly relate to stress and fear levels. Sometimes someone who has no where to live can feel better than someone with a mansion. It’s about the fact that the situation she is in is a very stressful and difficult one. She has every reason to be overwhelmed.

That’s understandable. People are going to hate me for saying this, but that Halloween party sounds like a great way for you to break free. Just make sure you don’t get so drunk you get sick. Take it easy and enjoy being drunk! lol.

I agree, trying to take on everything in one night is going to drive you insane. Take a hot bath, play some good music, and just let you mind loosen up

what’s keeping you from turning back?

Or rather, what makes that a bad option?

I don’t believe that you are not meant to do something special. Maybe you are trying to force it too much. I’m assuming you are around my age, based on the fact you still owe on student loans. I’ve can understand what your feeling, simply because I feel like that very often. It helps me to realize I have a lot of life left to live. I’ve had amazing things happen over night that I never expected. It’s important to remember you’re not going to always see amazing opportunities coming.

also, if you end up needing to return to where you were, go back with your head up high. You went out and took a risk in order to better your life. That makes you a courageous person. It usually takes more than a couple tries to get where you want to be. At least you a reaching for your dreams. Be proud of that.

You’re right, that’s hard to be proud of. But everything is in your perception. Personally, if I felt the way you do I would try to change my own point of view on the situation. I cannot change your perception of your life or your situation, and that something that is very hard for even you to do. But faking it till you make it has worked very well for me. lol. Sometimes pretending your proud of yourself, makes other people proud of you, in return their pride in you makes you proud in yourself. Make any sense?

You’re very welcome.. goodnight

What a lammo boss - “let’s just the the process of the machine get ya!” Yeah, I know that one! Because of that I’m inclined to believe that; even if the job was more of a perm’t, the nature of the boss would force you to seek new work. Keep up your job-seeking efforts and. . .maybe move into that house you were talking about.

I see what you mean. Keep the apt and give your apps a chance to breathe - they’re not like lottery tickets, ya know. Call the jobs that you WANT this comming monday and just let them know their probs are over when they hire you. Meanwhile it’s a waiting gave, so don’t add to your own mental stress by stressing!

Funny you should mention that - I’m somewhat skeptical of internet apps - there’s nothing (sometimes) more exciting than a FAX rolling out because it more monnoamonno. AND thank-you cards that come into the “in” box from the u.s. postal mail (more personal, yet, therefore better rememberance of you).

True to many extents, yet myth in part. You can casually contact them after a given time, even if they haven’t contacted you. The idea is, I suppose, is not to hound-dog the crappola out of them.

be Optimistic about this, i mean it’s not the best situation to be in and look at the positive side of life your not starving, your not homeless, and just keep going on with life there has to be a better job for you somewhere out there.
Look at it through other people shoe’s I’m 17 and i’ve been through shelters when i was younger, had anorexia, bulimia, depression, no family that cared, heavy cutter, BDD, my (single) mom is always gone at work or never home, and she takes all my money from my ssi and i get about 1-2 dollars a month. i take care of my 4 siblings by myself and no dad… AND I’M Still HAPPY! because my life could be worse. Feel better and if you need a job go to Snagajob.com hope i helped! :D

Obama’s stimulus is kicking in, maybe you’ll feel the repercussions (positive ones, that is)!

do you have a social services their maybe they can help you.worth a try
