You don't always have to be positive. Sometimes it's good to face those negative feelings so you know what you're dealing with. You'll figure something out though. You always do. Don’t feel bad.

I've been looking since August and there are good days and bad days. I'm working retail part-time and its no fun. I keep trying to remember that the right job will come along and things will happen, eventually. Plus, I've still got a roof over my head and a supportive family. Hang in there. I feel the same way!

When I graduated college I knew exactly what I wanted to do (medical device sales). I must have gone on at least 30 interviews. Finally I took a sales job selling something I wasnt passionate about, but I can happily report that after 4 years, at least 30 we like you but you werent right interviews, many nights of tears, beers, and chocolate I am working my dream job. I have been doing it for 4 months and I am kickin butt and takin names. The moral....stick with it.

I've had the same sorts of feelings in the past before starting law school, and have learned that the good things are really worth waiting for. Also-those 'mistakes' from 7 years ago are a good learning experience. (I made similar sorts of mistakes in undergrad that I am still bitter about). Being unemployed is hard though-it makes you feel like you're not contributing to society. Maybe you can apply to some jobs that might be hiring for the holidays? (like retail stores where you might get a discount). I have a friend that graduated from law school last February and is still looking for a job--she recently took a job at Target. Because she was feeling the same way-and they desperately needed the money. So you should not feel like it's you-the economy is tough, and everyone is struggling. It will all work out.

I went through this in 2007-2008, when Patrick was employed and I was not. I thought nothing was ever going to be fixed, and I was forever going to be sitting with Horatio on our couch watching Maury for eternity. And then one day it fixed itself. Poof, just like that. Trust your gut. You're going to be just fine. And I agree with the girl up there... this is a big period of adjustment. Don't point the finger at yourself when you're just coming off of a huge move in a bad economy. It will all be okay. I went through this in 2007-2008, when Patrick was employed and I was not.

It just takes awhile to adjust. This isn't the same situation, but my husband lost his job in June, and it took us a few months to figure out a new routine. It takes time! Just keep searching and being active during the day :) Don’t worry, it WILL all work out. It just takes awhile to adjust.
