How can I turn my life around?
Question:
Answers:
Begin by focusing on what is good about you and your life. The air you breath. The bed you sleep on. The family you have to share your load. Be grateful for all these things.
Everyone has a sad story to tell. Your past just got you to where you are now. The past is just experience. A memory.
If what you are doing now isn't working the do something else.
Visit as many employers as possible. Knock on their doors personally if you have to. Set yourself a goal of a job in say 2 weeks. Then make a contest with yourself to see how many people you can call or visit to show them how capable you are. Have fun with it.
Happiness is in you mind. If you have it you will show it.

Get saved and ask Jesus Christ to forgive you of your sins.
I am not saying this as a command, cause your beliefs is your beliefs, but as a suggestion.
Start by changing your focus.
Start be reviewing your assets. From the brief paragraph you've written here, I can name at least 6:
1. Access to a computer
2. Ability to read/write/objectively assess
3. Family (the son)
4. Ability to navigate the system (managed to secure unemployment)
5. A place to live (sounds like you're renting at the moment).
6. History of employment success (had a GREAT job)
I'm sure there are MANY others. Those are just what we can ascertain by this brief bit that you've written.
You need to capitalize on the assets you have. Use your computer access to put out your resume on Monster.com and similar sites. Don't poo-poo any job offer. Any job is better than no job. Be it McDonalds, Walmart or Walstreet, a job is a job. At this point, you need some structure in your life. It doesn't matter if it's part time at the mall or doing telemarketing or mowing lawns. The important thing is to be gainfully eumployed. It will help structure your day and also net you a sense of accomplishment.
Start there.
Take one step at a time.
Best of luck,

It seems like when it rains it pours. I am sorry things are so bad for you right now, It probably feels like you have no control over it either. that is what makes it so difficult to cope.
The first thing i would do is see what you still have and hold onto that. Then try and start over, and not give up. take things slow and try to focus on the positive .
Bad things happen to all of us no matter what. It is a matter how we get through it and cope , that makes us stronger human beings.
Good luck to you.
I have been where you are!! There where three things i had to change before I began to see happier times
First I had to remember how to be a positive person, because I am! but months and years of dissapointments and negitive energy, can weigh you down untill You forget how to be happy. .Every time you catch yourself being negetive make a conscious effort to find somthing positve to dwell on instead. At first it wont be easy, and you may not feel positive to start with., this can be frustrating and you may begin to think it isnt working, but continue turning negitive thoughts into positve ones and before you know it. you will feel better. As you surround yourself with more and more positive energy you will begin to attract positive energy.! Dont ask me how or why this happens , I just know it works.! The second thing to do is dont expect good positive things to just fall into your lap, nothing good lives in stagnate water.. Take bold steps towards your goals and dreams, and when you run into a closed door, dont give up or keep banging your head against it, take a step back and choose a differant direction, or mabe choose another goal altogether. when the doors start opening you know you are on the right path. The third thing you must do is to let go of... anger , hate , and self pity, these are powerful emotions that will keep you anchored in the negitive field. Forgive where it is needed.not for them, for your self! I found this to be the most freeing thing I ever did. I felt the burdon of it lift off my chest and I cried with relief. Take back your power, look at yourself honestly, and take resposibility for your actions and thoughts, No more looking for a place or person to blame. Forgive yourself.
the most powerful people are those who have power over themselves. self control. self love.
peace to you.
