Ramona123 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I had a job interview last week and today was the day for the phonecall to the successful candidate - surprise it is not me. I've been unemployed for so long I think I'm unemployable. That coupled with my son being brainwashed by my ex leaves me with no hope for the future. I have no future. So now I need to firm up my exit strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solstice Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Ramona, I am so sorry that you are hurting. Obviously, I don't know your life or what's going on beyond what you put in your post, but I believe that everyone has a future. My life has seemed dark and hopeless beyond belief - and still seems pretty dismal - but I keep getting up every morning, putting one foot in front of the other...and I'm finding that there may be some hope after all. So I believe there must always be hope, for everyone. Please don't give up. Is there someone you can talk to about how you are feeling? If not, or if you feel like you may harm yourself, please go get help -- go to a crisis center, a hospital...there are people who care and can help you. And we're here listening if you want to talk.

IrmaJean Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Ramona, I imagine you must be very disappointed about this, but things can change for the better if you keep walking on the path. Are you also feeling distressed about your son? Would it help to talk about this? I'm sorry you are feeling sad. Please keep yourself safe.

Ramona123 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Being a Mom has been taken away from me and there is no such thing as an entry level position anymore so my joke of a career is going nowhere so that I can't even support myself. What's left??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrmaJean Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Do you have any support there, Ramona? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramona123 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 No. No support. Defied family to marry, parents dead, friends scattered as we moved around so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrmaJean Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 A therapist?I think the fact that you had one interview means there may well be others to follow. Have final decisions been made or might it help to phone the company to be sure?Are you unable to see your son at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hell2breakfast Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 I had a job interview last week and today was the day for the phonecall to the successful candidate - surprise it is not me. I've been unemployed for so long I think I'm unemployable. That coupled with my son being brainwashed by my ex leaves me with no hope for the future. I have no future. So now I need to firm up my exit strategy.Don't give up hope untill winter, right now there are traditionally more jobs than in say, january through march due to the yearly up-tick in the farming sector and the ansillary jobs created as a by product. Also, if you live in America, there are many social welfare programs to help single mothers, food-stamps etc. The Salvation Army has a program for people in your shoes (been there) they will feed and house you free for a limited time and help you find work. I predict you will come through this and be stronger on the other side for the experience. good luck to you dear child! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramona123 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 After a completely sleepless weekend I managed to convince a doctor that I need some Ativan. Wonder how much is lethal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
