I am tired of struggling.?

Question

I just graduated with a college degree, i am 22 single, jobless, stress. I am tired of struggling. I LOOK everyday for a job. My life sucks right now. No job, no spouse, no support from anyone. its hard out here trying to motivate yourself! Without any help from no one! Sometimes I feel like god has forgotten about me, sometimes, i just want to give, up, I am tired of the stress and depression.

Answer 1

Looking for work is a full time job in itself. After spending 8 hours a day looking for work you must take a break. Rest on weekends too, as you need to be in good spirits for your interviews. A good attitude and positive personality are critical.

Let everyone know you are looking for work. Networking and social relationships are key. This is where your volunteering experience can pay off. Consider temporary agencies for the short term while you continue seeking out a better job.

Don't set your standards unrealisticly high. Get a solid entry level position then work your way up.

Answer 2

I'm really sorry to hear of the things you are lacking but in time you'll find a job and a spouse. Stress is hard to handle, but it doesn't last forever. Keep searching for a job and maybe try working at a min. wage place while looking for a real job so you can get some sort of income. Good luck with everything and feel better dear! God hasn't forgotten you.. Don't give up!

We all get these feelings sometimes. Sometimes you really need to take a good look at your life and why it is the way it is. For instance, your tired of struggling but you have a degree. Think about whether you sitting at home is going to help your situation and start telling yourself that if you wait for others to guide you, you might wait forever and struggle even more and fall even further down. I could say things like say a prayer and your troubles would be over. But who are we kidding. I have nothing against religion. I used to be a very good catholic but after falling into depression, I have lost interest in everything and have lost my faith in religion itself and lets go even further, if you do not believe in anything and yourself, how can you eve think saying a prayer would work. Without the will and faith in yourself (you), you cannot do anything. So start realizing that sitting home waiting for someone to do things for you is not going to be the answer. You got ur degree which is a reflection of your own accomplishments and certainly if you can pick yourself up and look for a job you can find one.

You have a life right? Your breathing, your heart is working and you are alive right? if so then god did not forget about you. There are people with a harder life. About your probs now.Lets see your single. Here is a souloution. Well look for a spouse. Have some friends help you. And for your job well, you didnt mention hat kind of job like mcdonalds or anything. If your looking for anyjob just look in the yellw pages or the news paper and find a job. Life isnt easy and no one can live without struggling. Thats just life. Even rich wealthy healthy people struggle with there every day lives. Just stay strong and believe in your self.

Answer 5

Maybe you can volunteer somewhere in the meantime so that you don't have so much time to think about your problems. Sometimes, seeing what other people go through can help you to put your problems into a better perspective.

I hope you find a great job soon and I'm sure the rest will fall into place as well. I can promise you that the problems that you have at 22 will pass and you'll be stronger person for going through it.

Best of luck to you!

Answer 6

Invest about $2 and rent "Pursuit of Happyness," or whatever that film is. (It's the one that has Happiness misspelled in the title.)
Also, you may have to act as though you do NOT have college training, and take a position which seems beneath you. Waitering/Waitressing can pay a lot, if you find the right place. If you do that, try to become the most professional waiter there is. Be the best, and keep working to do it better. Good money may come toward you in unexpected ways.
Best Wishes.

Answer 7

I attended job fairs when I was first out of college and started in a field that had nothing to do with what my degree was in.

Also, I have gotten alot of insight and my current job by monster.com and by using a recruiter. They do all the legwork and tell you about the job. They set up the interviews and you choose if it's something that will work for you. You will know the salary range before getting into the job.

Answer 8

dont give up I was the same way for a while but I found a job, not thrilled with it but it pays good. I still dont have any spouse or support those will come in time. I look at what I have acheived on my own, its a good feeling to know I could do it without help. You will enjoy it more, doing it on your own, someday when everthing does come together for you

Answer 9

when you feel that GOD has given up on you it's really that you have given up on GOD. maybe you need to turn to GOD in honest and open prayer. not asking for anything but thanking GOD for all that HE has done for you. take a long ,hard look at your life. sounds to me like you are feeling sorry for yourself and that may be coming through when you go on job interviews. as someone who used to do job interviews i can tell you this your attitude about yourself and life in general does come through and does have an effect on the outcome on whether you get the job or not. so you might try working on your attitude somewhat.i don't know hwat you got a degree in but you might want to take a job to somewhat support yourself wqith and job hunt for a job in your field on your days off. at least your bills will get paid and mabe it will help you feel better about yourself. you are too young to be this soured by life. i know it's hard to motivate yourself but you are the only one who can. you are not a chgild any longer at 22 you are an adult and you have to stand up and take charge of your life. i promise you though turn to GOD HE has not forgotten you. HE is there for you anytime you are ready to turn back towaorods him. this is the time to do that. talk to GOD as you go through the day just as you would any other friend. the conversation can stay inside your head. all GOD is asking is for a chance for you to acknowlledge HIM and love HIM and JESUS.

Answer 10

That makes two of us...........and probably many more. I struggle with my desire to give up on a daily basis. Try and pray, take a walk, take up odd jobs just to keep yourself busy, If you like dogs, try walking dogs,. If you like children, try being a child minder for a few hours every day.

It is said that "you beecome what you believe". So keep believing.

Wish you all the very best

God bless
