What are your skills?
Without skills (Amazon and Hilton ) are hiring work from home folks. Also, is your landlord a big company or a 1 person deal?
I can help you on this. BTDT

Oh, I definitely don't have the cash to mail the baby gift - it'd be way too much money.
My skills are office work - like office assistant. Landlord is a building - the guy who owns the building hired a management company. I will check Amazon and Hilton for work from home jobs - thank you so much for the tip.

Ugh. It would be better if it was landlord managed.1st ask the management company if they are hiring. If they are not wait a few days and tell them the deal with Augusts' rent. in the meantime look for work. Target management companies. They give you a discount on rent. Check equity or paradigm. Your skills easily translate to Leasing Consultant.
-office skills
-personable
-social media presence
Also, try gym front desks etc... And it's the holidays ( I know crazy but it is) this is the best time to apply for retail for holiday sales positions. You can have the managers direct attention. Everybody else waits until they realize they need money for Christmas.

Then as soon as you get some insurance we need you to get a physical to include the Debbie Downer talk.

The jobs btw are until you find something that is a good fit. If you don't like them don't worry I have more plans.

Thanks. My older brother is not that type. He thinks "tough love" is always appropriate even though his wife's little sister (late 20's) is currently living with them for an undetermined number of months. He also thinks if anyone helps me I'll have no incentive to help myself, and lastly he thinks I don't do everything I can to get work so I don't deserve help. Oh, and he doesn't understand anything about depression at all.

Why are you gifting this person?

Um, it's my only niece. My only brother, my only SIL, this will be the only grandchild in both families. This is kind of a big deal. It's not like I'm a Duggar and have 46 siblings and there's always a baby shower. This will be the third one I've ever attended in my life.

No. I'm just going to be sweaty again tonight. And I have this worry that I'll use up my soap/shampoo and then won't have it to use when I get an interview.

Stop making excuses. Get in the shower now.

Agree. You are wallowing. Wash up. Seriously. You won't be much good in an interview with this current mindset. You can always find a bar of soap.

I will admit this. . .when I was struggling I went into hotels when they were changing the rooms, and took soap and shampoo from the carts in the hallway. People here will say that is stealing, and they are right. But it did me more good than the guests who came home and threw it away.

You need to make a change. Start with a shower.

I wish I could give you a hug...but only after the shower. Take the shower. You will feel better. If it makes you feel better, back in the early 90's, I was homeless in the middle of winter in Upstate NY. I had $300 cash, no place to stay...and no job. (I was a graduate student crashing in depression). Oh, and I was 28 years old.

In my case, after I got past the crisis -- I was able to find work. You can too -- Retail, etc are always hiring, I started getting my life together.

Today, I am comfortable....make a six figure income, own a house in a nice neighborhood. It gets better.

OP I encourage you to make a sign and stand on a median everyday next week. You will get enough money to pay your rent and not be homeless. This sounds horrible, but it will get you out among people and you will see that there really are kind people in the world. This may help lift some of your depression and renew your faith in yourself.

Make a list of what you need to do beginning with take a shower and then systematically do everything on the list. Skip the shower. It doesn't matter if you are there or not.

I know the median sounds harsh, but it is a way to obtain some funds quickly.

Good luck.

Please take a shower, OP. You'll feel better. Even if you don't use shampoo.

Worse comes to worse, you can get some shampoo from a homeless shelter. Or just walk into a hotel lobby and ask for a shampoo. As long as you don't look homeless at this point, it should probably work.

Call the Women's Center for career counseling:

They have a sliding scale for payment, so you'll be fine.

You're going to make it through this.

Not sure where you are, but there are places that can help. If you are in DC, go to the Friendship House tomorrow. You can get food, toiletries, and talk to a doctor. They can also connect you to people who can help with a job and living arrangements.

I agree. Take the shower. Even if you don't use soap or shampoo. You'll feel better just rinsing yourself off.

Sorry OP. Hope things get better soon.

Do NOT do this. It's extremely dangerous, and people get run over. If you're homeless, you can risk it.

Your county probably has mental health services you can access. They may help with your depression and you will be more capable of finding that job.

There is always demand for a concsientious, honest house cleaner.
Your brother is right to an extent.

Hugs, op.

Hi OP, take a shower, clean your clothes by hands and dry them in the sun (free).
Do that each day. You can wear the same clean clothes. No problem.

Where you located? Go to the Vienna Women Center for some advise and help, please.
