Been unemployed for a year now. I have applied for many jobs which I felt that I could do, even ones that I had no experience in. Even offering to work for 4 weeks without pay to assure I was suited to the job and to learn on the job not to be a burden on the company. But alas! Not even .one response received. Not even a thanks but no thanks.
Perhaps it’s my age. Late 50’s. Having worked all my life and being self sufficent this is a real blow to any confidence I had. I enjoyed the challenges and it gave me purpose to bounce up each day. Although, for years of working long hours, enjoying the challenges it seems I neglected to have what people call a social life. There was never time as I was devoted to my kids and my job (which supported us through the years) and this certainly hasn’t done me any favors.
I am a victim of my own demise. Not looking for sympathy, just stating the facts. Seems I have locked myself into a corner with no where to turn. Days just run into weeks then months. I really have no purpose in the realm of things. Most days I have fleeting thoughts of doing a Will but then I would have to go out and find someone to countersign it to make it legal. All seems too difficult, and does it really matter? I won’t make any difference to me when the time comes.
