[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 571917, member: 14557"] I'm so sorry you lost your job. Do remember your worth is not about a job, or wealth or even being a mom or anything other external. You are worthy, because you are. That is enough. I understand why you feel overwhelmed by idea of job hunting. I'm not sure about your town, but around here those kind of jobs that hire people without specific education or work experience tend to favour young and definitely quick, often even pretty (can't remember when I saw an over thirty or unattractive Subway 'sandwich artist' or whatever they call their workers.) However i have one idea, don't know if it would work at all there you live, but in my neighbourhood there is one lady, who was a stay-at-home mom for a long time and doesn't have relevant education for current jobs. Now that her kids are grown and because she wouldn't get any unemployment benefits because of her husbands above average income, she has this small 'business' there she offers help with all kinds of small and everyday things for people in neighbourhood. You can hire her to take your dogs out middle of the day, if you have a longer workday, or to do your grocery shopping (while many stores do deliver I know many who are not happy for one or other reason with that and like it, when 'a real person' goes instead and knows to pick fruits etc. like they like them and not just randomly), to do small garden things or some cleaning, or to pick your kid and take them to somewhere else or babysit a sick child, when you just can't skip work because a kid is having a cold. it is flexible and she gets some income out of it. Not a full time work and not a full time income, but some. And at least many here like it, that it is a lady from neighbourhood, someone you can trust and not some random employee from some company. When kids were younger and we were at times incredibly busy, I did hire her at times for something when in-laws were not able to help. Could something like that work for you? [/QUOTE]
