I know how you feel and can only help you pray and try to believe I know how useless you can feel after a time.

I’m afraid it’ll be all my life! I live in a small town and there are thousands unemployed same as me – including my mum. It makes me feel so worthless, especially when the advisors at jobcentre treat me like crap. I’ve lost passion for all my hobbies like art and writing 🙁 I want my life back

I just don’t see that happening. Maybe she could offer her services on craigslist for some cash. Also, I was told about odesk.com, companies hire you for virtual help. I wish I could help. But she should know that it will turn around one day. She was employed at one point, so she obviously has something to sell!

I was thinking the same thing! I was she was here too because there seems to be more programs to help people out in these spots!

This is so tough. Yes, the longer one is unemployed, the harder it is to get back into it. Too bad she isn’t here in the states because there are so many programs for people just like her that include education. Perhaps she has a friend who can teach her to use Excel and PowerPoint, Word, Access, Outlook so she can apply for receptionist or assistant positions. I really wish I could help.
