Blather blather

So, I am having a cant get back to sleep morning, so here is a now rare `phone post :-0

With the closing of that chapter Monday, I have been dwelling on the current & next. I had a hardcore chat with Douchette over how we are like stuck with our current lots. I want to move out/have a change of scenery. But with no job I cant. And there is a huge shortage. I have been pounding the pavement-as it were-for 2 1/2 years, and still am freeloadin. I want to go back to school, but have no idea what to take & cant without a job. This is all pants

But I have been becoming more sociable lately. I think #EBZ has been responsible. But I know I have been a shit friend. I havent talked to some people in a long time. Pretty much all of my closest friends. I just feel like they dont need my shit, like I just suck and who needs a friend like that? But now that I am feeling a bit better and want to talk; I. Am. Terrified. That it is too damn late. Nor do I know how to even try... [May post on this in the near future]

I know how hard it can be to feel useless and stagnant and not knowing what to do with your life and that it's easy to get discouraged or frustrated. Sadly, I don't really have much advice. I've found that exercising somewhat helps keep depression at bay and making sure I help out around the house (doing dishes, cleaning the bathrooms and washing the towels, vacuuming, shoveling the snow, etc.) keeps me from feeling like I'm freeloading as much.

Other than that . . . try to get away from your familiar surroundings every once and a while, even if it's just an hour bus ride or something. Sometimes just being somewhere different for a few hours can help rejuvenate me and put things into perspective. Also, maybe think about volunteering; if there aren't any places near you looking for volunteers, there are always websites in a variety of areas.

I don't know if this is possible for you, but in the US there are unemployment offices, as well as career advisers; the latter usually charge, but not always.

Could you sell some of your arts and crafts as a source of income? I think I remember you doing that to raise money before you visited in 2008.

Perhaps most importantly, just remember that you do have talents and virtues to offer.
