I wish I were one of those "discouraged workers" who don't figure into the official gov't unemployment stats, yet can somehow live. How do they do it? Yeah. Me too. I can't afford to retire either. I'm 62 so I can draw on social security but it doesn't nearly cover monthly expenses. I need to find a mindless job somewhere very soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, that's normal, but today it's worse I can't find the space I need here to relax. I wish you all the strength to battle that entire situation and I am positive you will have that mastered some day. You seem like you can do it. But the irritable part I sadly can relate to and do not know how to handle it either. It goes by the day. Some are fine some are bad. It is not that I feel irritated towards others - just myself and the situation I am battling for almost 2 years now. But sometimes there is a light and I latch on to the rays and cling on. ( I know it is just a said "thing" but that is what it feels like ). It makes me smile internally and create hope and faith for the next day.But the next "glitch" ...I find myself at square one. .. that is what sucks... every time 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I told my husband that I have been battling depression for almost 50 years. Those times in my teens and 20’s I was very depressed and suicidal. I feel good now, but man there were a lot of nights I prayed to God to take me. So which retirement 'number' did you hit; retirement age, or the number on your bank account? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow is the open day. I have to go there early for final prep. Lots of people coming I hope I can get this thing moving again. I am very angry. Last night I was reading about disabled people experiencing discrimination and that made me angry. I was upset all day. How are you today? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladysmurf Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I hope everyone is OK. I was just thinking about how much this illness has destroyed my life because it started at a young age, and no matter what I've tried from the medical field it has not been helpful, so I wonder do I really want to live like this for the rest of my life? Feeling miserable, sad, lonely , etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I'm ok today but I know the answer for me is to rest a couple of days and get back into a routine. My mind "needs" the amped up feeling of the holidays and the stress of getting the covid shot or so it thinks. What really needs to happen is I need to hide and get back on track. No you don't need to get out of here brain! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately (?), there are plenty of those around, since no one wants to work. The local gas station is advertising $20/hour. Probably a few bucks more once you move up from assistant gas pumper to associate gas pumper. Aren't we lucky? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightjar Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Last night was hard work. I had a lot on my mind about the house sale and mom had wound me up a treat by simply not letting me be in the evening.I did 4 meditation sessions through the night so that I could get some patchy sleep. Happy at least that I got some sleep. Hopefully the house sale should be resolved today There has been another viewing this morning. I'm waiting for the agent to call me and hopefully I can make some decisions. There has been one offer so far 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
