Depressed and Uterly Helpless :(

[princess_1408]

Hi all,
I dont know where to write this actually and who to turn to for help and advise..

Life has been so hard recently, more so esp this year for me.. Sometimes I feel like I am so tired bearing all this on my own.. Besides being a single mum looking after 4 year old kid, i also need to take care of my parents as my mum isnt working and all financial burdens lays on me given that i'm the only child.. So besides taking care of myself and kid, i have to take care my mum and dad in all money aspect..

It would be alot easier if i have a full time job and earn income but sadly i am only working part time and the mere pay doesnt even cover much
Been rejected many times for full time employment as i dont have good qualifications and many working experiences so its tough to find a office hour jobs as i need to look after my kid as well

Well, doesnt help much that I'm carrying a whole mountain of debts too.. old debts from banks and new debts from moneylender as i have to resort to loaning from moneylender to tide over my high financial burdens and just put food on the table

At times i really feel like giving up for being so useless that i cant even look after myself and people close to me.. Now I have no job, no money and no hope.. Full of debts and life gets harder day by day for me.. Much as i cant bear to watch my family suffer, but i too dont know how long i can carry on without giving up

To work towards solving your problem, stop quick fixes. Sustainability has to be considered always. Else, your hole that you dig will only get deeper.

Have you tried WDA for job seeking opportunity:

I heard from a friend a local gas company in north looking for call center agents which offers rotation shift working hours which may be suitable for you? Heard from her they also looking for part timers or full timers. Interested?

During this festive season there are many job opportunities. Let me know your constraints, as long as your attitude is positive, I am sure you can find job easily. PM me if you need a job.

You will need to clear all your debts first, perhaps by borrowing from a close relative and paying back slowly. Go to MP every week to get some food vouchers for the family. Perhaps you can ask your parents to help out as well, if they are still healthy enough to work? Can they also help with child care while you work full time?Sorry to hear about these tough problems. Will take a family effort to solve, unless you can get a really well paid job to support everyone and clear the debts.
