Good day folks,
Its been a while since I've posted anything, I have been distracted by a very turbulent series of events in my life that has left me in a difficult place.
I recently lost my job, which means I can't afford to pay for the most basic things, this includes my therapist and my loans. Never have I felt so stuck, and what's worse is dysphoria is eating me alive. I really don't know what direction to take this post, I just kinda feel like garbage about myself (more so than usual)
While I'm looking desperately for work, the time of year has left the number of opportunities very slim and every day my confidence slips another notch and I feel like I am slipping backward. It feels like I'm never going to make any headway, that I'll never regain the momentum I once had.
I don't know, I'm just kind of sulking.
Hi.
I hope that your bad feelings are temporary. And that finding new employment/resources will make some difference for you. This will happen if you don't give up!
Please don't give up
I swear life's like sailing a ship through a hurricane. The engines are full ahead but the winds are pushing you back again and again. Eventually the darkness gives way to daylight and turbulent seas give way to smooth sailing. But the ride through the storm can be one of the roughest rides of our lives.

I agree with this. The last year has been very very hard, but bit by bit things have come together and the light at the end of the tunnel is achievable. You just have to keep trying... it took 90 job applications before I finally landed a good teaching job.
I was in the same position about 3 years ago. Lost my job twice in 3 months and got fed up with being employed on the whim of the boss. So with no money I started my on company, created a website, LinkedIn account updated, contacted clients I used to do work for (I worked for product design companies) and slowly the business has grown. First year I had no real money but survived, second year, just enough money to live, 3rd year extremely busy and starting to have some savings
I have been very lucky but I have worked hard and always thought positive. The biggest part of this is always be possible. This is picked up by employers and clients and it may take some time but keep positive and things will happen
Love and kisses Jessica
