Unemployed, Depressed and Terrified

When a failed business forces George back home to live with his parents, depression, anxiety and shame become his identity. Isolated in his man-made prison, a prayer on TV shakes things up.

I am unemployed and so so stressed. One minute I am okay. The next I remember about my situation and feel sad about myself. I want to believe things will change but I am so worried.

I am a 61 year old woman and lost my job after about 12 years of employment. I can't find a job that will pay enough to pay rent, utilities, car insurance, food, etc. I don't have credit cards, car payments or live lavishly. The jobs out here don't pay enough just for me to live on alone. Jobs are scarce here. I am scared, depressed and worried. I have been praying all the time. I don't know if you check your comments, but I need prayers. Thank you.

Unemployment is one of the worst things to experience.

My mom used to say Problems will never kill you, fear of those problems will... Always Put God first before everything else

I was once told (after a year of unemployment) that hardships may not only be placed for my growth, but to also be used for testimony for others. I lost my job, then my father a month later. There were weeks that I felt too hopeless and useless to get out of bed. I didn’t want to wake up, but as I look back, there were messages sprinkled throughout my experience that told me I wasn’t alone.

I was forced to relocate when a living situation got hostile. I remember feeling like something was being lifted off my shoulder and I didn’t know why. Two more months into living in a safer but less ideal living environment and I was given a letter for an interview. It was for a job in that city (which I applied to months before moving). I was just recently offered the position. It has been a year and a half.

I’ll simply say what a woman (that suggested I apply for this position) said, “God has not forgotten about you.”

I am unemployed and stressed also, rent over $2000/ month. Dealing with rejection from job layoff, great depression from potentially coming homeless again. I am crying out to God for help. Literally screaming and coping best i can.

No doubt about it, life can be really hard at times. Today's job market is not like it used to be 30 years ago. It's really difficult to find a job. Employers are just too picky. If your resume isn't made of gold they won't give you the time of day. It's really hard.

I’m a 25 year female, I graduated this year earlier from university I’ve been unemployed for 1year, 2months. I have chronic digestive problems and now they are getting worse due to chronic stress, I always have anxiety, my business is also slowing I’m almost going crazy, I don’t have anyone to talk to about what’s going on in my life, I’m get slowly dying inside. I’ve lost a lot of weight since I graduated

Been battling depression for a while following job loss a few months ago. I once had a lot of things going well for me, great income, great small circle of friends whom I used to travel with from Dallas and a good church home. Things took a turn for the worst and since then I have been struggling with my faith since moving back to Houston with my parents. I feel purposeless, have no friends and find that isolation is the only peace that I can get. I just hope that things get better.

im unemployed and depressed. i used to work in cruise ship for 2 contracts. i left the company because of low salary and hoping to find a much better one but tables have turned. my boss gave me a bad comment in my appraisal. i went to an interview for this new company and she rejected me because of the bad comment, that started my depression. i went to apply to almost anything as i could, but i received no calls till now. im at home now for a year unemployed, always staying at my room feeling hopeless forever. i always think god must have hated me.. this world is very harsh to live in...

[ThetoMisFits]

Could not agree more! As a laid-off female engineer - it was rough to accept that life without feeling a so low about oneself. I hope everyone finds a way like you. My best friend and I started a channel to document our stories and the emotional turmoil to help others in need. We need more of this. Thanks for this!

I'm dealing with this right now...

[domineer]

I took a leap of faith November 2017 and relocated to the South from New England with no job. There were times where I worried deeply and questioned my decision making for leaving my last job. However I turned to God and during my vulnerability he communicated to me through signs and people and I was able to land my dream job two months to the day I left my last job. Got approved for my place a week before. Trust God and never doubt him. Cast your worries to the trash and believe he will give you what you need if you are obedient, serve and praise him.

Never mind the expectations of society. Fight depression and keep fighting it. Use the power of prayer and ask God to carry you.

[AllAboutPurple]

Two years out of college and I feel like a complete failure! Please pray for me. I’m afraid to ask for help, I don’t want to be judged. I want to help take care of my mom, but instead she’s taking care of me. 😰😰😰😭😭😭

23yo paraplegic. Lost my job due to a coworker lying to our boss and havent had a real job in almost a year. Living at home with my elderly parents is beginning to take a toll on my mental health, im stressing so much about everything because I NEED a job and I need to get out of my predicament

[tomtom-ectb]

I was like that after loosing a city career. Could not relax, leave the bedroom, mind spinning, looking at lives of friends on facebook and Iinkedin - seeing them happy families or high salaried jobs just depressing even more. Although am agnostic but have and follow Christian culture, I found that meditating and still praying in hope of a god improved things. Just keep moving forward.
