Re: [deleted]
Hey @TheNightmare I know exactly how your feeling obviously I don't know your full story but from what I've read it sounds like you are really struggling at the moment especially with finding employment. I have read quite a lot of your posts on here and I can say your 100% definitely not alone in this because for young people at the moment it is so tough and hard to find work and even full time employment. I speak from experience as I am in a similar position your in where I have been trying to apply for jobs and have rejected quite a few times. Rejection is quite common most of the time when applying for work because your first job application will normally be a rejection which is quite sad to think about. However, the thing is with rejection there will be other opportunities and maybe even better ones out there too. Always remember that rejection doesn't mean your not great for the job it's just that they may be searching for particular skill set potentially. But as I say they are just missing out on having a really fab employee working with them. I'd say it can be hard having rejections but I always try not to take it to heart and I tell myself to keep applying. Always keep applying and trying because eventually you more you try a door will open up and that good opportunity you want will come. I know that you have been recently setting yourself some short term and long term goals which is fantastic because it can be great having short goals to do whilst job searching. Goals can also make us feel positive too because it can give us a sense of achievement (I got quite a few goals to do at the moment as well). I also want to echo what everyone else has mentioned here you are not a disappointment and failure, in fact no one is. You have been trying you super duper hardest to do well in life and I can see a good hard working person who wants to do well in life. I just wish others could see this amazing quality in you. I'm always here if you do need someone to talk to and I hope you are doing okay at the moment.
Sending big hugs to you,

Hey @independent_ good shout! We've added some extra info about what the feelings wheel is and it's purpose into the post, aswell as some alt text. It is a bit of a tricky diagram to describe unfortunately but I hope this is helpful.

Re: I just want to know there's light at the end of the tunnel
Hey mate,
I know how much you've been worrying about this and I really hope that things start to look up for you soon.
I think its fair to say that getting into work, saving money, and staying financially stable are all achievable goals and I can't see any reason why these things can't happen for you if you keep pushing. I know you've had a few rejections and a few hurdles to get yourself over but I do think that you'll get the job you're looking for eventually... And when you do, they'll be lucky to have you.
A lot of your goals kind of go hand in hand so once you finally get that break through and find yourself a job, you can slowly start working towards the other goals. That will be good
Where are you applying for jobs, is it online? It might be worth going into stores and giving out your CV too, it shows that you're eager and willing.
in between the stress of searching for a job, are you doing anything for yourself? I know how determined you are to keep searching but it's also important to take breaks and to find time to do things that you enjoy. Do you have any hobbies or things that you enjoy doing to unwind? I know you like watching some folk on youtube so that's a good distraction from the stress too
I have faith in you and I won't be losing it, I know you're well able to achieve all of these goals and we're all rooting for you.
Be kind to yourself

Another thing I want is to get rid of these low moods and be way less stressed because dealing with them is so difficult right now.
