Feeling helpless for being jobless

[Ja sa bong]

I've being in a situation where I couldn't get any job for 6 months. It was one of most difficult time in my life. I tried all I could but nothing was happening. I felt so helpless and unless for months before I was able to get a job.

How do you feel when you're out of job for a long time?

I am jobless for years and it sucks. I am 30, almost 31 and in my life I have officially 5 months of work on paper, but it doesn't count my freelance working for years. So, how can i explain to future employers the reason why i didn't worked? It sucks. I sent many CV's and some call me but I don't pass.. And I am really bad with finances because my family need money and the only money i am giving is from online english classes, and it is only 200 euros per month.

Seriously, it's very painful and depressing whenever you're out of job for a very long time. The responsibilities that you need to take care of doesn't take a time off because you're not working. This can be very frustrating.

I have been there and I just felt I am not worthy of living, after all, no one found it fit to hire me. But I had to look inwards and draw strength from within. Now. I am a successful entrepreneur with three apprentices. That's what mental toughness can get you to from such situations.

Feeling helpless when jobless is common, but you shouldn’t let it define you. Instead, focus on building skills and staying proactive. This can open doors to better opportunities and increase your confidence. Keep pushing forward, and remember that your current situation doesn’t define your potential.

When you are jobless, it can be demoralizing and it can affect one's self-esteem. I've been there too and I know the struggle that one would go through to stay positive. Focussing on what you can control and letting go for what you can't is crucial. Updating your skills can also help boost your self-confidence and can lead to new opportunities too.

Feeling helpless when you're jobless is completely understandable, but it doesn't define your value. It's easy to get caught up in the frustration of not finding the right fit, but remember, this phase is temporary. Sometimes, it’s a chance to reflect on your skills, explore new opportunities, or even pivot toward something unexpected. Taking small steps whether it's learning something new, networking, or updating your resume can help restore your sense of control.

I feel very sad and angry when i'm out of a job for a long time. I snap at people especially when i realizes i can't take care of my needs at that time.

Being in such situation often makes you feel helpless and worthless at the same time. You tend to look down on yourself easily like everyone else is doing better than you.
