struggling
Bottom line, I am really struggling right now. I am trying to keep appearances up and stay strong for my children. I lost my job a couple of months ago and I am still unemployed. It is a struggle for me to do just about anything. I feel lost and do not know where to begin. I'm over 50 years old and I do not feel I have many prospects in my area. I'm hoping that just by writing this down and sharing it, I will feel a little better.



When I quit grad school I was out of work for around 6 months. Being unemployed and depressed at the same time sucks. By the end I pretty much lost all standards as to where I'd apply and what kind of compensation I'd take. I did eventually find something and things are going pretty well now. I hope you can find the same kind of opportunity.
