Yes, you’ve heard me right. I’m unemployed for a year now and getting depressed all the time with no hope on the future for me. I’m well educated but still getting offered like below minimum wage. It’s so hard to get a decent job and make something useful. I feel depressed all the time and this effects my reading ability so much. I can’t focus and go out since I’m broke. Luckily, my family didn’t kick me out yet but I feel like lost all ambition and desire to make something. I fear now, I’m gonna quit from living and be a number on a capitalism’s victim list. I’m struggling to find a reason to live nowadays.

Unemployment is hard. It's my job to offer legal assistance in my country to unemployed people and it is not a party in the slightest, despite what many say. Most people I see every day are in survival mode. And most of them are the recently unemployed or the on/off unemployed. The many years+ unemployed is another beast even.

It's not on you. This system needs unemployed people to function. To keep us all down. Over here they are going to cut benefits massively soon. Hundreds of thousands of people will be affected. It will cause poverty. All the while there are no investments to create jobs of course.

Gotta keep going man. It's hard but we can't lose anymore people to the capitalist machine. Feel free to share your thoughts whenever.

Thanks for your effort but I tried every possible combination to keep my head up none of them didn’t work. I wasn’t drinking alcohol untill this year. Got alcoholic, spent my savings to shut voices in my head then I lost my desire to work, meeting with new people, getting a girlfriend or having a pet. I just wanted a simple life but ongoing housing crisis and extreme unemployment (a Mediterranean classic!). I can’t continue like this. I'm losing my desire to wake up anymore. I'd be okay to not waking up tomorrow morning. I don’t know why I keep going.
