Unemployed, Hopeless, and Broke

I've been unemployed for so long now it's beginning to get ridiculous. I'm sick of not having any purpose what-so-ever. People who've been unemployed as long as I have are marked as lazy and not wanting a job. I do want a job. I want that daily mental stimulation, the challenge, drama, and all the good and bad things that come along with the workplace.

Things are really getting to a low point. Depression sets in. Getting out of bed is a challenge. All the rejection takes its toil and makes you feel worthless. Starting over is so hard. Especially the older you get. Companies only want to hire people in their 20's.

The one good thing is that I do have local friends in my life now. Sheila HIggins, Syd Curry, and David Low make me smile and I thank God they have come into my life. We all need friends.

Tomorrow is a new day.. Let's hope for the best. Give me the strength to stop hating myself and energy to do something good.
