Desperate

Today I was informed my unemployment has run out. It was helping me get some of my bills paid.

Now I’ve got no steady income, just a few bucks from freelance work here and there. Not enough to make a difference.

What I do have is a mortgage, a car that needs repairs and my other monthlies. Tried everything to get another job. Resumes are never responded to. The few interviews I’ve had result in being ghosted or an email telling me they’d never really consider me.

My “network” is a laundry list of sellouts. People who learned I’m out of work and now don’t even know me, despite all the help I’ve given others.

Trying to gauge how long it’ll be before my savings is gone.

Every day brings worse news, man. Where is the bottom?
