Didn\'t Think It Would Get This Bad...

FeelingHopeless, Poway, CA



Hello. After 20+ years in the automotive industry, it's not the stable place that it used to be. Been out of work twice in the last 5 years, but this time, it's worse. Still trying to pay off the credit card bills we used to stay afloat from the last time, and this time, the house is at risk. We bought the house for the kids, so they could come back to it when they had kids of their own, and to leave it to them as an inheritance. I've got no family to ask for help from, and the wife's family has done so much already, and I do need to pay them back when I find another job, in a more stable industry, but it's not easy to move to a different industry when the interviewers start out with, "Well, you seem to have a very strong background in the automotive industry. Why do you want to leave it?". The other thing that's hard to hear is "You're overqualified for the position you're applying for. Why do you want to start at an entry level position?". When you try to leave one industry for another, can you really expect to start at the top...? It doesn't seem to matter that I have skill sets that can be applied to a number of different industries. Sometimes, it seems like we're branded with a Scarlet Letter because of the industry and the publicity it got a few years ago, with going to the government for a handout when none of the Big Three really needed to. Ok, sorry about the rant... I need to find another job, hold onto my house, and be able to sleep at night again. Anything you can give would be vastly appreciated. Thank you.

Broke, Hopeless and Depressed

Please help me start a new lif, Australia



where to start. i'm a 25 year old male who has lost all hope in life i honestly dont know why i'm sticking around. I'm so depressed I've gone and got myself in to a lot of debt a few years ago and now i just cant seem to get ahead. I really want to change my life and do something with it, i have a good job that i enjoy and i seem to have a reasonable pay but it just doesn't cover the bills. I barely cover my interest at the moment after rent bills and food. I just want a start on life and after being dumped by my fiance today (on christmas of all days) I feel like i always give my all in a relationship and i end up getting hurt, this time i dont know if i'll ever be ready for a relationship again, it hurts so much i just want to die. I feel like i am stuck in a dead end town and i have no friends. I'm not a bad person and give myself and my time generously without ever asking for anything in return and yet i always seem to get the rough end of the stick. I have about 24000 dollars in debt a 1000 dollar phone bill and my car registration for about 600 dollars is due in less than 15 days. I just cant see any way out of this by myself. Any help would be so very much appreciated. If i dont start seeing this debt going somewhere soon i can see myself slipping deeper into depression. I dont want to feel this way
