Discouraged

I worked so very hard to get through school once again. This time doing it not only for myself, but for my 2 year old little girl. I am a single Mom. Her Father is not at all involved. I just wanted to better myself. To progress..to be proud of myself. TO have my little girl be proud of me. 


I get hired very soon after finishing school like 3 days later. At a Doctor's office..which is what I studied in School Medical Office Assistant. Only to work 2 months and be fired last friday on my 35 th birthday. Hapoy 35th to me! I am super bummed out. SO very depressed. Trying so very hard to count my blessings that I'm alive and breathing to see another day. Trying hard to count my blessings that I have my little girl. She sure does put a smile on my face and warms my heart and soul so much. But how do I stay happy and content? When I am the sole bread winner for her and myself. I just have  NO idea what to do anymore and I think my loved one friends and family are just so over seeing me this way. My life up and down like a roller coaster. So discouraged and so tired mentally and physically since I was 18 years old to continue working towards an education and a better life..only to be derailed. I have NO idea what to do anymore.

Oh no! So sorry to hear your job ended so soon and suddenly. I can see why you'd be feeling very frustrated right now.

You are right to focus on your blessings.

Can the placement department at your school help you find a new job?

Hang in there! Remember how strong you felt when you graduated from your program? You are still that strong. This sucks, but it's a temporary situation, right?

Sending up prayers and good thoughts for you...

Thank You very much, for your kind words. The placement office at the school is already doing their very best. There is only so much one can do when the area I live in is high in many not working..unable to work and on unemployment. It truly is so very awful over here. It isn't funny anymore how bad the economy is here in my county nevermind the rest of the world.

Thanks again though trying to stay positive and keep my head held high.
