Unemployment sucks. I know what you are going through. Unemployment leads to depression. You can beat it though. Keep doing the projects that give you rewards.

Unemployment sucks. I know what you are going through. Unemployment leads to depression. You can beat it though. Keep doing the projects that give you rewards. Don't take any notice of persons that say you don't have the vibe . You can't possibly be expected to have goood energy all the time when you feel so rejected. You find your niche and concentrate on that. You will get good feedback in the long run when consistently produce amazing work! You can do it!
- em-bee 2y agoas someone who is also struggling to find work i feel quite fortunate that i am not facing depression yet. in part this is thanks to family and friends that i was able to find after moving to a new place with friendlier people. in part because i am a citizen of a country with a strong safety net so that i know i won't have to face homelessness even if i won't ever again find new work. what frustrates me is that i don't feel i can combine working and job/project searching. it's either one or the other. when i am working on a project (either paid or a side project for myself) then i can't focus on searching work, and when i am out of work i feel that i can't afford work on a side project because i need to focus on searching work. i mean i suppose i could rotate. but while i don't have work i always feel like i am not doing enough to find more work, and i can't code while i have that on my mind. even now while i have a paid project, while i know i should be looking for followup projects once this one is done, i can't do that because thinking about that interferes with my ability to code. coding takes 100% focus (and i do enjoy that) so while i am working nothing else gets done.
