Update

I feel so sad and depressed right now and so lonely. I don't know what to do with myself. I just got done playing a game of monopoly with my mom, but I still feel that way. Part of the problem is that I haven't had a boyfriend in about 6 years. I just have my parents and 1 friend left and my cat. I feel as if I must be letting my parents down by not having a job. I almost never have any money. I haven't had a decent job in quite a while. I am working with an employment specialist to try and find me a job. But it's going to take quite a while to find me anything. I live with my parents. I love them dearly, but I can't live off them forever. Plus both my car and computer crapped out on me quite a while back. Now you can see why i'm so depressed. I see a counselor and am in alternative therapy programs, but there is still something missing. I also have schizo-affective disorder which is a type of schizophrenia. Plus I also have an anxiety disorder.

What\'s an employment specialist like? Maybe I should find one. I got very upset today. Not depressed yet though.

Dear Melissa...

I am so sorry that you are feeling so down right now. I know what it feels like to be so depressed that you don\'t even know what to do with yourself.

I would like to recommend that you try \"anneccleaver\"\'s advice of a temp service my friend. It is a great way to start back into the business world when you have been out for some time, and is how intend to start when/if I can.

Also, and I know you feel you don\'t have anything to offer right now, but please try Match.com for a little bit. You don\'t even have to go out with anyone, but just the action of meeting potential boyfriends will help to lift you spirits. It would be new and something for you to do. Well worth it in my book!

Hugss and lovess
Sandy

Are you on medication for depression? I think you should mention medication and your feelings with your therapist. And if you are on medication I suggest talking about changing them.
I am always here for you as well and I care deeply about you
