WHAT do I do about my LIFE???!!??

Question

I'm poor, I can't seem to find a good job, I don't have any one to talk to, and I'm becoming too depressed to move....mostly I haven't had any human contact for a while now and I want some....just say anything. I need some suggestions and just help.

Answer 1

I'm in a similar situation as you so I can't really help much except, to say, things are bound to improve sooner or later. That's what I keep telling myself.

Answer 2

First thing you have to do is get out of the house. When we don't have a job, then often there is no reason to get out of bed, and you start to live your days in your home. Get out, go to the park, go to a cafe, any place where you can be around others. Being alone by yourself isn't going to pick you up and help you get back on your feet. Just take little steps. Don't say I'm going to find work today and put too much pressure on yourself. I'm just going to get out of the house for a little while. Fresh air, and just seeing people going about their daily life should help you a bit. Then another suggestion is to volunteer an hour a day somewhere just to gain friendships and have something to do each day. Anywhere, soup kitchen, hospital (talking to other people who are alone) etc. Than this will make you feel good about yourself and you will meet people. Then I suggest that you take any job that comes to you. Even if it's crappy. Take and it will give you hopefully the persistance to find a better job. Don't be jobless until you find that perfect job, working your way up the ladder. Hope this helped!

Answer 3

For some people, regardless of the praying, the positive outlook on life, and various other hopeful attempts in reclaiming their lives... The positive change still just might not happen. You need to take control of your life, and you being an American, have the opportunity to do this. If you dont have that much money and you cant find a job, that is tough, but the possibility of you rising back up is pretty strong, if you take advantage of the great opportunities in front of you.
I could help guide you and give you some help if you e-mail me at "[e-mail]". I can help you find motivation to reclaim your life, if you feel the need to email me. Good luck.

Answer 4

What in life makes you angry? What are you willing to fight for? Becoming a lawyer or a doctor or a social worker is within your grasp---- it's just a step by step process, a little bit here and a little bit there, keeping at it. You'll get what you want when you help other people get what they need. Set goals on a daily basis and weekly and monthly and have some long term goals. You can volunteer for a political party. Make a list of things you enjoy the most and look at it in the morning and occasionally during the day.

Answer 5

Pay more attention to the details around you.

Learn more about the things that interest you.

Become a people watcher. Take every chance you get to say a word or two to some one. But don't over do it. Be friendly.
Look people in the eye, say hello with a little smile.

Watch for people who seem like you.

Being up on what is going on it the world will always give you some thing to talk about. If you get some one to talk to you, be a good listener. The more you know whats going on will let you follow & add to conversations.

Answer 6

give to someone else, even if it is a smile it is lightening the day of another.
Go out in the morning, if only to the donut shop, open the door for someone.
Find one thing on the first day worth grinning about
follow the next day w/another thing to do but make it more of a interactive behavior. as simple as patting a pups head at the pet store.
Giving is the best medicine.
be well and be happy.

Answer 7

1. get off the computer and take a walk down the street.
2. Quit looking for a "good job"..take anything and you'll meet new people and it could lead to the good job
3. Stop feeling sorry for yourself until you've been on your feet working all day

Answer 8

You have my support.. But get out of your depressed state, I know its hard but just go out and do something really fun and dont care about anything..

Then when you come back, just sit down. and think where you want to go in life? In order to get a good job you have to know what kind of job you want.

If you want to work outside and help others or serve, go and be something you love, not something that just pays well and leaves you to be bored the rest of your days..

Answer 9

Sounds tough but honestly life is what u make it. Only u have the power 2 change your own life. Try thinking positively - like I will get a good job because I have such & such to offer & such & such skills. Changing your thinking will make a huge difference. U may think u have it tough but go to a shelter & help out truly needy people. It will make u feel good and make u realise there r people worse off than u.

Answer 10

Pattycake, 1st off Stop feeling Sorry for yourself.
Your the only one that can CHANGE your LIFE! I speak from exp.....& I know.
Have a positive out look on things.
Sometimes to climb the ladder you must take the first step.
So it's not a high paying good job like you'd like it to be! Have you ever thought that might not be where God wants you to be right now. You need to pray & ask God to bless you(several times a day), ask forgiveness of your sins, change your life & then let the Holy Spirit lead you....If your in God's will he will provide for you. It may not be a nice apt. but a tent, you might have to walk other than ride-But he promises us his care if we obey him. He has already blessed many of us-We have a pillow to lay our head upon, not like ppl in other countrys. God said to look to him-If you want to change your life-get into Gods word. My prayers are for you, God bless you.
