[QUOTE="ChocFish, post: 16015, member: 981"] Jamie-Lee, I can imagine its pretty hard for you to find a job and you are feeling ill on top of it all, it can all become a viscious circle and you feel useless and lose hope and stay in bed till midday because there is no point in getting out of bed is there and so you become depressed more and more. Do you have any idea on what sort of jobs you are looking for, what would you like to do, what are your interests? I wonder if you have ever seen a DEA at the benefits agency? It might be worth giving that a go, and as Sarah Q has suggested, do consider doing some voluntary work, even if its just for a couple of hours a week, it will get you into some routine and give you some responsibility and will look good on your CV too, or do some college course, there are some short summer courses around now, so do check with your local college, you never know it might lead to something more permanent? A site that I often use is [url=http://www.do-it.org.uk/]http://www.do-it.org.uk/[/url] - this is for voluntary work and has often been the starting point for my clients in finding employment; many of my clients have found it very difficult to gain employment, for various reasons. All the best Karen [/QUOTE]
