running out of hope

Posted by fall under at January 16, 2012
Tags: Attitude  2012 January  Unemployment

I am 50. I have a bachelor's and a masters. I have been hired and laid-off three times since 2008. Before that I worked constantly and always paid my bills. I am now applying for jobs making less than half what I was making a few years ago. I was just told on Friday on a temp job I was working (only after I asked directly if my assignment was ending) will end on Tuesday. They were not even going to tell me that the assignment was over they were just asking me to train someone else as backup in the event that I get sick. Nice people. I am alone, I have no husband, or boyfriend and I am not only depressed but I am scared. I am getting to the point that I am so emotionally exhausted from trying to get work and doing anything when I get it that I barely have the energy to get out of bed in the morning and I do all of this and can barely pay my housing and medical coverage. I don't want to wake up anymore, I feel like a used up piece of garbage with no easing of the pressure in the near future. I think daily if I would just close my eyes and never wake up than I wouldn't have to endure the fear and stress any longer.

I don't know who you are, but out of all I read here, your story has my attention. I too, feel despair and hopelessness. I'm 57, in great shape and very athletic [endurance road bicycling] I'm so use to everyday not getting anywhere in this life I, at times, find my self not even letting it bother me anymore. I've gotten no-wheres in my whole life and have been screwd over so others can get ahead. I just plod along to the next day and try my best to hope maybe something will change for the better before I die. [not likley] Please, you must keep trying. Michael

Thanks for the encouragement. It does help to know I am not alone :)

Me too. I'm in the same boat and without a paddle. I don't want to feel sorry for myself; I just want a job so I can eat and have a place to sleep at night. I live on oatmeal as it is cheap, don't go to movies, don't drink, and am alone. I have a very low cost public gym membership and attend AA meetings twice a week. I'm honest, show up to work (when I have any) everyday on time, and usually work through my lunch time to do 'extra'. I'm 55. And I wonder if I'll make it to 56. I know I'm not being punished; there's nothing to punish me for. But I can't get my footing at all. When I work I get along well with everyone and always come away from the job with a recommendation. Unfortunately recommendations don't pay the meger bills I have. I too have a Bachelor's and Master's degree. I just can't find a steady job at any price. I can clean toilets, I'm not proud.
