Finding a job
Emerald asked:


What do you do when you are under the stress of a break up, can’t find a job, and not having a home of your own. I turn to God/Jesus but I still serverly depressed. Your help is much appreciated. I have severe depression because of all of this but medicine doesn’t help. This has been going on for a long tim.

    Hey there. I’ve definitely gone through that situation before…it took me about 3 months to find a decent job and I was in the process of trying to break up after an abusive relationship. I’m not sure what got me though. I think I relied a lot on the support of my friends around me, focused on the present, and threw myself completely into finding a job. If you can’t get the exact job you want, take something. You’ll be getting experience no matter what, and you will be employed so you will be more marketable to recruiters. I would definitely make a list of all the reasons that you didn’t like things about your ex…everything. Then make a list of all the things you’d like to do or give to yourself. At least right now, you have time to spend reflecting on yourself, and you may not have an income, but you can still do some good things for yourself. I started running and lost 10 pounds. It was free, it took up empty time, it made me feel good about myself, and the endorphines really helped. Most of all, you need to prove to yourself that you are a good person. Seriously, keep a journal and right down all the things you like about yourself. If you can’t see those things, then no prospective partner or employer is going to see them in you either. Also, search for free councelling in your area. It really does work.
