I’m so tired. I don’t sleep well at night much anymore because I get into bed and my mind won’t shut off so I can sleep. I keep thinking of all kinds of things over and over and over again. All this no sleep and stress are really taking it’s toll on my face. I think I’m starting to look older than my 56 years. I need to look into finding a good eye cream to help with the dark circles and wrinkles that this mess is causing.
I still haven’t been able to find a job and it’s been over a year and a half. I feel like a failure but I really do know that its because of the economy and not my fault. I look at the paper and websites every day trying to find a job but there just aren’t really any out there for me. If I do find one that I could do they want someone with a college degree or someone who speaks Spanish and I haven’t gone to college and have a hard enough time speaking English sometimes.. haha.
I was taking a pill at night that did shut my mind off so I could sleep but I stopped taking it because some side effects that I read about. I didn’t want to risk getting diabetes and some other things like that. For now I just have to deal with my sleeping problems and keep my fingers crossed that a job shows up for me soon.
Well, good news is you are not the only feeling this way in regards to jobs. The only thing you can do it keep your chin up. I hate that saying. But it the first thing that came to my mind. Anyways, keep looking for jobs! If you can’t find any, try learning new crafts or educating yourself on something. Maybe you can get good enough at whatever it is to make money off of it. Some of my friends had to move out of Detroit to find jobs in Atlanta. Some are going to school in hopes that after they graduate, the economy will be better. They got some type of government grant. While the economy is poor, do not let that stop you from going after that job!

Thank you for your comment. I’m not giving up on finding a job and I want to try my hand at making jewelry and selling it. I just need to get the money together so I can get supplies to get started.
