What 14- How do you stay positive when you are down?

I would resort to watching television or playing computer games or apps on my phone. I can't afford to dwell too much in depression.

I hope you don't give up searching. Sometimes opportunities come your way at the least expected times. I'm not always positive and optimistic either but when I take my time to reflect on what I really want to achieve, it helps to get me back on track.

I am a positive person for the most part so I just say a prayer and hope for the best.

if you feel down.This is not going to help you.

And I know the feeling, Me too been rejected for many times already and it did not stop me from applying for more. There is still hope for me and I can't just lose it. I have bills to pay and I badly needed a job so this is my inspiration. Don't stop and be positive as always. Best of luck for both of us.

I do not give up easily I keep up trying harder. I remember when I was looking for a job I sent out CVs everywhere and kept hoping for the best. What encouraged me is that at least my CV got to be read because sometimes I used to be called for interviews and even if I failed some interviews I still felt I could make it which I did.

Dont be disappointed if you do not get anything now. Keep trying. Something will surely come your way.

Yes, keeping a positive attitude helps and prayer can help us cope and hope for better things.

Maybe you should try those jobs you are used to doing in your work days. That way, you can answer their interview well. Just keep trying. I only apply for jobs that I am a graduate of. I am an Accounting graduate and most companies like accounting graduate people.

Don't worry. There are companies who look for ladies who want to start their second career. Keep updating your skills.

I hope you are able to find a job really soon.

I don't give up easily and try to stay positive and tell myself that whatever it is will work out. I know the right job is there for you so don't give up hope.

Think positive. I worked 51/2 years, then was a stay at home mom. I was able to find a wonderful job when I decided to return to the work force.

I always think about my goals.

I don't build up my hopes too high, so the knockbacks don't feel so bad - and the successes are a greater joy - there will be high points - just keep going, it's all you can do. Good luck

I know it's hard to find a job when you have been out of jobs positions for many years. Do not feel down, continue to submit your CV, I am sure you will find a job.

It must be disheartening for you to get so many rejections. I hope that you will find something suitable soon.

Yeah I think that is the best thing to do, to look it on the positive side.

I'm sorry to hear that. You just gotta keep trying though. And you are right. You did your best, keep doing your best and you will be rewarded

I have been there. It wasn't too long ago, that I literally felt like I was cursed. I must admit that I did not handle it as I should. I dwelt on it and got bitter and angry. That affected my relationships and my ability to see where I was blessed. For me, I went straight to God. I questioned Him. I decided to study the Bible harder to try to understand His character and His ways more. Honestly, that did not change my situation, but it did change my attitude. Once my attitude began to change, so did my circumstances. I know people have a different approach to faith, so I don't want to force mine on anyone. I do know you have already taken one positive step by asking others for support or encouragement. Talking to someone about it will keep all those toxic feeling from building up inside of you. Keep pressing on, have confidence in yourself, and let those companies know why they would be better off in hiring you. I am wishing you all the best.
