The Feeling of Unemployment
Being unemployed can generate feelings in you that you are not capable, or are not accustomed to dealing with.
Every day it seems like you are spiraling further into a rut you cannot crawl out of.
The main emotions I have been dealing with include: shame, failure, and uselessness.
I also feel like a loser.
I will give you a little more insight into the feelings as well as in the end explain how I deal with the constant pressure.
Shame- I can barely look at myself in the mirror.
I feel like I'm not the outgoing person I used to be.
I slowly feel like I'm slipping into a state of depression because I cannot kick this feeling of shame holding me down.
Failure- the feeling of failure is definitely worse than the feeling of shame, in fact this is the worst emotion I deal with.
I had plans for my life which I'm failing to accomplish due to lack of money from being unemployed.
I feel like I'm letting my children down by not providing for them as I should.
Another reason comes from the fact that I have applied for jobs and gotten no responses from any of the places I have applied to.
Failure is the emotion that is eating me alive.
Uselessness- Another problematic emotion is uselessness.
This is significantly less than the other emotions however it still plagues me.
I feel useless to the point I don't want to get out of the bed in the morning.
I look at the family and the ones in the house providing the money, and it just adds to the burden on my shoulders.
I feel as though I have nothing to offer the household.
These reasons have given me the push I needed to decide to become a successful woman without the nine to five work week.
I have found a passion in writing that I never knew I possessed.
Becoming a stay at home working mom has become my new dream, a dream that I plan to push all the way.
Struggling with the pain and depression from being unemployed will no longer haunt and torment me.
By utilizing skills I already have and learning new ones I will provide for my family in ways I never knew I could.
I am tired of being sad and miserable; bring on a life full of happiness and fulfillment!
