Terribly. I was laid off last year on Halloween, and I've been trying everything I can to get a job, everything my family and friends can think of. Fuck any sort of standards or pride or anything I may have had previously, I can't even get hired to work the deli counter at Walmart, even they are denying me for minimum wage! I've got a degree, no criminal record, I've got previous professional work experience, I'm dropping over a dozen applications a day both online and in person and nothing is working.
I've got a about a month left of savings. When it's out... I guess I just blow my own brains out. My country has made it clear it doesn't want me, it doesn't need me, it would rather I perish. I'll yield, I'm so tired of fighting and scrounging for the right to live and being told I'm not good enough and not worth anything.
I'll just take their word for it.
Dude I'm sorry to hear that. If you need someone to talk to lmk.
I'm having a hard time with motivation to even try lately so you're not alone homie.
