On month 2, and I’ve never felt more free… and simultaneously never felt worse in my life.

[@kingofmemes5017]

Nearly at month 3. It's so brutal the feeling of not being "good enough" for things you're perfectly qualified for. I've lowered my standards so much and still nothing. Hang in there brother, it's not easy.

[@BugDrivenExplorer]

Any updates? Hoping things are looking better for you guys

[@Andreas0705]

5 months unemployed after end my education. I try to go for walks 10 k steps. But like today, it's not a good day. I feel alone among others when I'm outside as if they all judge me for just wandering around. Feeling okay at times and hopeful, few hours later I'm depressed and not able to find motivation to look for jobs or write another application that I don't know if they even are going to look at. I find comfort in reading others stories on being unemployed. Some of 1,5 years, not that it's my goal to wait that long time. But it sort of feels like I'm not the only one struggling. Also single, so I can't help feeling how different my drive would be to have a girlfriend. I'm can be to hard on myself so it be helpful to have someone saying "don't worry". Hopefully this new year brings new opportunities. Never loose hope, but it's okay when you feel hopeless, just know that it won't stay like that.

4 months unemployed , It's really sucks that you don't know when are you going to have a chance to work and provide money and take care of your family . The voices in my mind are so loud and its all negative , but I am trying the best I could to keep going and try harder and harder to find a job and start building my future , One thing I know that there is always a light and hope at the end of the dark road , I just hope that I don't lose myself when the light comes to my path .

[@stevenstancell]

Do you have a husband or wife that takes care of you or are you living with parents? How can you be unemployed 5 years and still pay rent? I’ve been unemployed for 10 months and I’m 4 months late on rent

[@smokachu7290]

@@stevenstancell I have parents that take care of me financially, in hindsight it looks like I’m a spoiled asshole for being taken care of, but my anxiety and depression stems from my childhood neglect so when I go into job interviews I get super nervous and I start to get panic attacks and it’s just hard for me to get a job, a lot of people think I’m lazy for being unemployed for so long, but what they don’t know is I been going to interviews back to back and failing all of them because I can’t get the nervousness out of my system and the longer I’m unemployed the more depressed I get, job interviews suck too because you have to play a professional role and that’s just not me, in this world you can only get so far when you play up your character and fake your resume so employers want you, I try to get menial jobs too like McDonald’s employee and they don’t even want me, i just don't like the fact that job interviews feel like auditions, and it makes it feel like the only way i can live is if i make the employer like me....its so fake....makes me feel like a stripper "dance for me so i can give you this minimum wage job"….

[@Gankoittetsu]

And family pressure.

[@Astral_Dusk]

1.5 years unemployed and depression absolutely harsh seeing rejection after rejection, 500+ rejections and the other half just ghosting. It's very depressing how miserable the applicable process has gotten along with the rude harassment lack of morals and values at some jobs too...

[@primefashion06]

Going through this now. The worst moments are when I wake up I get a wave of emptiness and a feeling that my heart is soaked and heavy. The feeling is awful and almost suicidal. It lasts a few seconds/minutes before I distract myself eg by getting out of bed/couch, logging into the internet to read something, etc. I have also enrolled at the gym in the evening and this makes me feel better afterwards. Generally, I feel worse in the morning and much better as the day ends. However, my worry is, how long will this take? Will I feel like this forever? How did I find myself here where I know no peace? ( I am writing this as a 30-year-old medical doctor in Kenya)

[@Junyahb46]

Try doing some yoga in morning and meditate. Have that time to love yourself and remember you are not alone. I also am in this position ATM !

[@Laura-ji8be]

[@joeb5578]

Getting up and walking about 3 miles helps me out. It gets the endorphins pumping. The four feel-good chemicals, also known as "happy hormones", are dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin. It works. Plus I quit drinking 1.5 years ago. Best decision I've ever made. It's a fight though. Not easy.

[@biancam.3828]

I got an inheritance of 154’000, I immediately quit my job at lowes because at the time I thought it was killing me. I now have paid for school, a decent car and a house (with my partners help, who has a career) And with all of these achievements, I have never felt so meaningless, I apply for a couple jobs a day, I get stuff done around the house, I take care of our four dogs, but I still constantly feel like I am nothing. I have this intense pressure and heaviness on my chest and in the front of my head all day, and sometimes I feel like ending my life, because it just feels so incredibly hard to find fulfillment.

[@buzzcutbiene2211]

@biancam.3828 I feel you because I just got fired and I know unemployment from my past. I also have kids and animals to care for but the feelings you describe are the same. On the other hand it really makes me sad that we all feel this way, that we got our entire self worth out of this and I ask myself why is this so? I think home work does not count for societys standards but to be true I also feel lonely now without my co-workers.

[@Msnoshh30]

I been suffering depression and anxiety for along time plus lost jobs because of it I have no friends plus no family where I live and it can be really stressful I’m the only child so I have no siblings to talk to for comfort.

Day by day I’m Not happy and my life is a Blair Looking at social media doesn’t make it no better plus I just found out I have lupus I just feel like I’m facing problems after problems I pray I try to find therapist but their no hope.

11 months of unemployment due to the interview anxiety problem, and at the end of all sources. Cannot sleep anymore, but will keep fighting.

[@Gio-m]

Stay strong brother, you are not alone in this fight

[@canc.2335]

found a job after a 14 months of an unemployment period with tens of interviews. I just used a half dideral (beta-blocker - do not use without asking to the doctor), and a glass of wine before the interview. The whole interview was great, I was able to express myself during the interview, and performed well. But I accept that I have a performance anxiety problem, none of the therapy or anti-depressants helped on the long term.

[@Verradonairun]

It's funny, but that's how I got my first job too. A few shots just before the interview, and I had plenty of sober interviews before that, that didn't work out. 😂😂😂

[@Swarup-r1h]

4 years of unemployed and I'm alive... I'm laughing at my depression and my life that I'm still clinging.... don't know what will be my future, don't know my worth of being alive, don't know if anyone cares ...but I'm hopeful...because magic happens in life and I'm waiting for my time.... 😊..... I know people behind me curse my existence, I know they don't care about me, they want me dead instead and I'm laughing at my life, it's making me laugh because it is giving me such pain... well, if life gives you unbearable pain then pain becomes part of you, and you won't feel anything more torturous... maybe I'm used to this pain. And this pain takes away your fear for future, atleast Nothing worse is going to happen....yes, I'm not sure why I became retarded away from life. I don't know what went wrong. Maybe I don't belong here, maybe my birth was a mistake, maybe I won't worth anything here and Nothing here belongs to me..... I think, I belongs to my own loneliness...my loneliness never betrays me, I can talk to me I can cry about my failure and regret. Maybe I can blame my fault of missing out of my chance, but my loneliness hears everything. Nothing tastes good, Nothing feels good, the only thing that excites is my loneliness. I became curse and shame for my family, because they have to hear the stories of success that my age people are enjoying....where exactly I'm here? Nowhere. I GENUINELY WANT TO BE ME, I WANT TO BE LOVED, TO BE ADMIRED BUT IT'S NOTHING RIGHT HERE.. ONE THING ONE MUST REMEMBER, THE WORLD IS A CRAB, IF YOU ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH THEN IT WILL BITE you till it will crush your existence...

I wish I could meet u coz u wrote everything I feel each day.. u seem like Indian and a girl. I'm same..

All I did was stay in my room and study and study...My bf of 10 yrs, left me got married 😂 My parents curse me , think I'm burden..😂 I'm currently 4 yrs unemployed... I'm searching for job like crazy.. I cry all by my own. I can't fall asleep. When I go to bed, I wish I didn't have to wake up anymore. When I wake upI have this massive headache, I feel tried and I keep wondering how I'm supposed to go through the entire day today... The hardest part of Evrything is: My parents, who are most dearest to me..I hurt them so much. I was a topper in my class and now I'm an embarrassment to my parents.. I don't want to die but I wish I can sleep and not have to wake up..😂

I have nobody to talk to and anyone I talk to won't understand what I'm going through. So I keep writing in my journal... yesterday I was reading my journal...

I'll somehow get a job.. Idk how but I have to... all the best to u too... if I get a job, I'll come back here to inform u... if anything good happens to u , can u let me know too...

37 years old and lost my job 6 months ago. I really like my job a lot and due to cutting costs lost it. Staying with my parents for emotional comfort, but they are getting old and my mother has advanced parkinsons. Applied to various positions and got about 8 interviews, yet nothing came out of it. Really worried that I might end up long term unemployed and miserable. My job was my life! Sometimes I wonder what is the point of living. 😢

I can't work because of my disability but feel super worthless. I don't believe that anyone serves a purpose and instead our "purpose" is to simply live. I didn't ask to be born into this world and I certainly didn't ask to partake in a system that was not built for me, but still I get these thought of "what if I'm just pretending to get away with not working" but then again, if I were able to work, wouldn't I just get a job, so I don't feel so incredibly guilty of simply existing? I wish I had more people around me who I could relate to but everyones got a stable job and education
