I Need a Job to Live!
We would like to thank you all for your unemployed and trying stories. We encourage you to send us emails with your stories!
Well I am sitting here crying now after reading a posting on your website. We are all in the same boat now,,no matter what color we are or where we come from, we are doomed. I actually searched google
on ‘how to kill yourself’. Yes I know this is outlandish, but what am I to do now?
I got laid off last May, 3 months after having a total hysterectomy, at that time I of course lost my health insurance. I had and still do have post surgical issues that I cannot go to the doctors about. So one would think I really need for the health bill to pass ASAP. WRONG. I NEED A JOB TO LIVE!!! OR ATLEAST THE UI EXTENSION..I WOULD BEABLE TO MAINTAIN!!
My story is the same…my UI benefits ran out in August of this year, so that was the last time I made
a car payment, now the repo man is looking for me and my car..the thing is I may as well let them take it because the car insurance lapsed on Sept.18th, the registration is now suspended so I am afraid to drive the car now any way..not to mention it’s against the law..oh yeah it also won’t start because it needs a battery that I cannot buy..why am I holding on?? maybe because it’s pretty 
I did manage to get one phone interview this year but then the lady wanted me to interview the very next day.almost 40 miles from my home? How was I going to get there? I couldn’t even bumb a ride because i didn’t have money to pay for gas.
Last month I to sold my dining set and my washer and dryer to pay most of the rent I owed for Sept.
Now I owe Oct. and Nov…thing about this is,,my rent is only $500!!! That is so wrong that I cannot afford to pay this little amount of rent..why is it so low..because in April I lost my real house and an acquaintance said I could rent a room in his nice house until I got it together..okay fine..house was in my same neighborhood, it was nice and clean..3wks in I find out he is on drugs, this put me over the edge, I packed up at 2am and left in my little SUV-sat in the drive way of my old house til morning..afraid in the dark..I found this little house in the sticks surrounded by goats..aka Atlanta suburbs..my electricity was cut off, I pawned my little bit of gold jewelry to get that back on but now it’s due again on 11/12/09..Like one of the other poster persons I will begin to start listing my stuff on good ole Craigslist to try and survive? I am totally alone and have honestly tried to figure out the best way for me to kill myself..I figure I would sell all of my things then I wouldn’t put family in the terrible position of having to go thru my stuff and get sad all over again..I would take enuff money to fly somewhere nobody knows me and kill myself so that in my family’s pshychy I’d be out of site out of mind,,oh of course I’d pay a funeral service in advance for my cremation…WHO THINKS LIKE THIS?
ME, I DO ..I am a 46 yr old single woman that grew up in lovely Saratoga NY. my 2 daughters are grown, I used to be a Property Manager last year, I used to have a little cleaning biz, yes I have a little free website,,no bites..and if I had any I can’t clean anyones home or business because I can’t buy supplies..I am only half azz eating because another friend that gets food stamps buys me a few groceries every month..and I could stand to lose a few pounds any way…HAHAHA
My daughter came over here this past Sunday to make sure I was still alive because no one had seen or heard from me in over 5days..I was trying to OD on fake tylenol PM..my only blessing right now is my landlord, he is really trying to be patient with me, he came and checked on me today because he to had not seen movement in my little house..thank the Lawrd for him..but how much longer is he going to put up with it..Why is this happening..I used to be the head of my family even though my kids are grown, I used to help them with their bills or car needing repair ..my grandaughter called me last week asking me if I could buy her a poster board for her school project..I WAS NOT ABLE..JUST WRONG..I CANNOT TAKE ANY MORE OF THIS!!!
ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS..WHO THAT CAN RECTIFY OUR SITUATIONS IS READING WHAT WE WRITE..ARE WE MAKING EACH OTHER MORE MISERABLE IF WE ARE THE ONLY ONES READING ABOUT ‘US’?
