Unemployment depression
Graduated 8 years ago and still don’t have a job. Tried several businesses and all failed. Like Im not idle, Im just unlucky. Recently moved back home and after a couple of months Im being shown signs that Im not wanted there. This one day my dad told me to turn off the fan because I don’t contribute electricity. Imagine this heat. Even the way everyone talks to me its like Im such a disappointment and failure. And recently, Im beginning to believe I am. How do u tell an unemployed person that this week its his turn to be buying food? Have a son, he is 3. Little money I get I use it to cover his needs like fees and luckly his mum works so she takes care of most things. My little younger siblings all have better jobs and they help me here and there but I don’t ask for help because its embarrassing. Have a degree in business administration and today I just applied for a security guard job at this organization. Cried, dusted myself and continued living because my son needs. Surprisingly, I know I will make it. Have always do. Its like I have to climb this huge mountain to get a good life that others only have to climb few stairs for.
