Not Doing Well
a year ago
What can I say?
The last few weeks, I have been doing my best to look for other forms of employment, but to no avail. The days of going door-to-door, asking for a job application have long since been replaced with having to use job placement websites that more than likely use an filter for employers, meaning that my application won't be seen by many, if at all. Of course not having a car, having to deal with moderate to severe psoriatic arthritis, and dealing with depression also don't help matters any.
Speaking of Depression,
It seems to me that no matter what I do to better myself, under any circumstance, something always manages to come up at last minute, and divert my goals. I've sat down, and looked at everything going on around me, and it's as if everything is coming apart at the seams. Trying to find anything that would bring even 5 minutes of happiness is becoming more of a chore, and having to take care of my grandmother, whom I love dearly, has left me in a state of frustration, and misery. I have actually spoken to a health care associate about this some time back, and was told that I suffer not only from depression, but also caretaker syndrome, which in turn leads to isolation.
And on the topic of Isolation,
I can't remember the last time it was I got to meet up, and hang out with anyone. It's been far too long since I've attended any type of bowling meet, or furmeet, other than attending a con which is now becoming rare to do these days. I've sadly had to cancel my plans on attending Megaplex this year, due to my finances being in a state of disarray. The feeling of being alone and isolated from the fandom grows stronger each day. And all I can do, is watch videos of past cons, and furmeets, recalling all the memories of hanging out with friends I knew back then, just to keep a smile on my face. I do have friends I hang out with on VRChat, and I do enjoy the time I spend with them. I just wish I could experience that same joy of hanging out with people again outside of the headset.
I seriously just don't know what to do anymore.
I can't think of anything else to put down, so that's it for now.
Take care all.

Sorry to hear things are rough for ya job and home wise. Those are really big obstacles. Full-time care of an elderly person seems like a job in and of itself. Have you tried doing recruiting firms rather than job listing sites? For some professions, your skills are desirable and intermediaries can earn a few bucks placing people at jobs.

Well, filing for unemployment will at least get some income for you. I don't know what I could do to help but hope that things get better for you.
