This situation has really gotten the best of me. I don't know how to deal with it. First off, I got put in this crappy situation which caused me to lose my job and my house which irrecoverably caused me to move to Charlotte with my parents. I know absolutely NO ONE and I don't have a car to go job hunting. My parents are always telling me, you need to get a job and blah blah blah, but they're never willing to take me into town and go apply for one. I want a job more than anything in this whole entire world. I wanna go home. I want my kids back. I want my freaking life back. And I have applied online to (no exaggeration) 50 places, and the only thing I got back was ONE DENIAL EMAIL which really pissed me off. I hate this so bad. And I have no one to talk to about it, so I'm sitting here blogging away so I don't go crazy over this stupid crap. I don't know how to deal. Please God, someone tell me what to do. Someone give me a little advice. An answer. SOMETHING. I'm going insane in here. I would walk, but that's like a 5 mile walk to town and that would take to freaking long. I'd have to walk a mile to get to the bus stop. I don't have that kind of time with my kids. Please, someone just help me out. I'm struggling.

Hi Bambi, pressure, pressure, pressure... Do stop for a while and breathe. Clear your mind and then focus on your dilemma. Just having any job will not make you happy. Assess what are your strong points. What are your talents? Then try to search for some sites that offer tasks for your talents. Devote sometime in preparing your resume and credentials. Put in something in your bio-data that will make the filterers notice yours, like an unusual quote at the top that you like best or best describes you. When they call you, then you would have found your long desired treasure. Take care of it!

You can try a strip club so you can work nights.
Ask your parents to lend their car to you so you can go to town. Check out Craigslist and other sites like that you might find work there. Why don't you befriend your neighbors so you can leave your kids there while you look for work. Good luck with your job hunt.

The people who are the most successful don't look for a Job. They don't work for others They work for themselves.There are hundreds of opportunities out there to do your own thing. Pick a job that you like. It could be cleaning, or shopping, health care, gardening, babysitting, or childcare, senior care, and many many more. People I know clean garages, cellars and out buildings for free. They get to keep the stuff thats good. Do Cleaning in homes, or house-sitting ( feeding pets) when the owners are on holiday, etc. So many things need to be done, and right in your community too. Get out there and be a successful entrepreneur.(Be your own Boss!)

Hi Bambi this is the phase which will go off by itself as this comes in everybody's life where we have to deal this with patiently . IN one movie there is dialog if you wish or want something from heart then whole universe will try to help in getting you that.SO please dont be disheartened and try to get the way yourself.

It's hard to be in your situation now for sure. Just think that what you're experiencing right now will make you a better and stronger person in the process. God will answer your prayer. I was once feeling so depress because I didn't have a job, i was a newly graduate then. Many are expecting to me, during those times, I felt so helpless as if there's no hope and there's no point of moving on, maybe I felt the same way you're feeling right now, but you know what just think of this "Everything shall pass", you'll see, just keep your faith, there will be helping you. I promise:). Just think that life isn't meant to be lived in happiness alone, we're given tears and strong hearts for the trials that we're about to face. Just befriend with all the adversities in your life. Take it as an opportunity to think and rearrange your situation. I fully understand what you're feeling:). Just keep the faith.
