You didn't listen - they talked about corporations buying houses, the middle class disappearing, being unable to live on minimum wage, expanding medical for people that need it.
The idea that a political party will change just because they lost because they weren't exactly where you wanted is also ignorant. That's never a guarantee. Otherwise we would currently be living in utopia. Maybe it will cycle back, by the time we're all dead
It makes me so sad. I live here and I feel constant shame, anger, depression. I always say the right is filled with hate, but I find myself hating and it bothers me. I try to understand everyone.
But we're reaching the point of how much tolerance should intolerant people be shown? And I'm over it personally, fuck anybody who voted for him/not at all and fuck him too.
Escorts don't have to be removed now. But I think the idea that her sex appeal directly influenced her hiring definitely has merit. Could it be worded better? Sure, but it's obviously not meant as an offensive to escorts.
Truly feels hopeless - any techniques to calm my mind?
I've posted previously and appreciate everyone and all the advice. As an update, I'm still without a job. IT in the Midwest area seems to be horrendously bad. I have friends out of work too, its not just me, but I'm over a year at this point.
Changed my resume more times than I can count, using advice from here, friends, ChatGPT, etc. No difference really.
My car was always first on the list to be replaced. Well, a few fays ago I hit/ran over an animal that ran out and it destroyed my radiator and who knows what else. This is a big problem, I live 30-35 minutes from any sort of city with jobs.
All I can do when I try to sleep is lay in bed and go over it all, how bad it is, what did I do wrong, why do things just keep getting worse and worse, etc. I'm hoping someone has a technique that works for them to get those thoughts out. So I can sleep well, and have the energy to keep on
Of course I'll accept advice about anything, and appreciate the time and everyone reading!
Thank you
Good tips, I think that I tend towards a mix of what I was responsible for and the accomplishments I made. But I might be too much one way than the other.
Something I struggle with is keeping it brief enough to not end up with a 4 page resume, while also getting in those keywords and tools and such that ATS systems are looking for.
FOLLOWUP: I've lost it all and I don't know how to handle it
To all who previously replied thank you - your encouragement and letting me know I'm not alone meant a lot.
I would also like to mention one individual offered to send a few dollars my way, and that's more than I could've ever hoped for. It helped me get some groceries and gas, so THANK YOU.
In reference to applying at 2000+ jobs and not being employed, I didn't mean to indicate I had NO response. I had many false starts, jobs where I went through multiple interview rounds, or jobs that just weren't feasible (i.e 100+ miles away on-site). Particularly, I keep finding situations where I'm contacted by a company, asked to do a phone interview, then when I reply (usually within a few hours if not immediately) to schedule a time they just ghost me.
I did take up the offers to look over my resume via DM, but no one replied funny enough.
On to mental health - I'm better than I was. I still feel utterly hopeless, but maybe a bit less so ya know? My thoughts are... Difficult at times, but I keep moving forward as best I can.
All this to say thank you. I got more response than I ever expected, and I appreciated every one and I read them all. I hope you all have a good day, and keep pushing forward.
I've lost it all and I don't know how to handle it
Let me start. I previously resided in a north eastern US state, I had a good job, a good partner, a nice place to live. I thought I'd made it.
I started having medical problems, discovered I carry certain genes and such. Was having trouble getting them diagnosed, but such is life.
Then my good partner left me, I lost my job of a year and a half, and I thought a fresh start near family would be good. I decided to move cross country. Which I regret, I want to leave but now I don't have the resources so here I am.
I just can't seem to get a job, I've applied at over 2000 jobs in the last 6 months. My previous job was managing the entire technology infrastructure for an IT company. The one before that was the IT Manager for a small company. I have the experience, but I can't get a job.
Last night I swerved to avoid deer in the road, got stuck in the mud and had to get towed out. I'm flat broke, I can't get a job, I have nothing. I lost everything. And I don't see myself ever recovering it. I have the experience and skill to do at least mid and some high level IT work.
I desperately want a remote job because my car is not reliable, my partner got the good car sadly. I've certainly made mistakes, I've certainly failed. But I don't think I deserve this much pain and suffering. I have nothing, I've lost it all. I can't find a job. I don't dare look for a partner while I'm a dead broke loser, so I have no one to share with.
Anyways, I apologize for whining and crying, I know we're all going through things. But I have nowhere to vent and it just keeps getting worse and I honestly don't think I'll ever get out.
Love you all. Thanks for reading. Please think of me when you get a chance and send good vibes my way.
