The first one was about my not being able to get a job. I've posted resumes on Monster and on HotJobs, and everywhere else, gone to Job Fairs. I got one interview, but it was for a job I wouldn't have been good at.


The other one was caused by my mom. I said, "It sounds like you're short of breath," or maybe "You're short of breath." This became me "accusing" her of having short breath and made her yell at me. I am tired of getting yelled at for doing things that I'm not doing. And my stomach won't stop churning, no matter what time of day it is! And I can't find a job!

Recently, I've just been reeling, and I need some help. :(

I deal with that sort of crap all the time. I can also relate about not being able to find a job. My best advice is... ignore any frustrations which don't affect you for any extended period of time, and just keep trying. As far as getting a job goes... Have you tried walking in to all the sorrounding businesses and asking for an application. You take home a dozen(or more) applications, fill them all out, print up resumes, and turn in an application and resume to each of the businesses. Wait 2 days. Then check back on all of them(in person). Unless they say you're denied, be persistent. Keep going in every couple to few days and make sure to talk to a hiring manager. Other people often don't know what they're talking about and will say things which are not true like "Oh, I don't think we're hiring... sorry" which tends to be just a smidge misleading.
