Job search depression

@Blackcloud I'm sorry that you've had such a hard time with the Disability Employment Services. Everyone I know who has used this service has had a horrible time. The fact they couldn't find you a decent job says nothing about your value or your ability to work.

@tyme that sounds like an important project. ER's are such stressful places, anything that helps make the process easier is critical to people's wellbeing. Best wishes with the project.

Thanks @Ruby26 . The first draft is finished. Waiting to make edits.

How's your job search going? DId you hear back from the original company?

@tyme well done!

No, I felt like I was just going around in circles with that company. I ended up sending them a final notice email for some closure. I got the sense they wanted me to be the one to pull out, so they wouldn't be liable for discrimination. I don't think the job would have been the right fit for me, if that was going to be their attitude. There were several red flags from the human resources department, which was disappointing because they interview itself went well.

@Ruby26 that’s right! And it’s really nice to talk to you again my friend, how have you been over the past few days? 😊🌸

Hey @Ruby26 ,

In a way, good on you for being the bigger person and letting them know. From what you described, I could 'feel' that it didn't sit right with you.

It seemed like what they asked for was quite intrusive to say the least.

Well done on knowing what your body needs and giving yourself a break if you feel that's what's needed.

@Blackcloud aw, thank you, I always love hearing from you.

I've been a bit down and overwhelmed over the past few days. I'm struggling to come to terms with the long-term impact trauma has had on me.

How have you been going?

@tyme thanks for your support.

I'm sorry to hear about that my friend ❤️ Please know I'm always here for you no matter what even if we don't know each other in real life, but meeting and interacting with each other on here is more than enough for us to look out for each other, just like how I'm looking out for you 😊 I get you friend, I too have unresolved trauma that has been having a long-term impact on me and not to mention has made me become the person I am in the worst way possible (not as in the drug addict type, --> just someone whose rather isolated and is used to having anxiety and depression day-to-day kind of thing) but thats not to say I've come to accept the long-term impact it has had on me as well though, because even to this day I too still struggle to accept the impact that trauma has been having on me to that extent and I still blame the people (especially people at school) that have made me feel that way in the past

I'm not feeling great today, nothing in my life is worth looking forward to, I'm just here to exist and survive + trying to get through it. Thank you for asking friend ❤️
