[quote=Anonymous]Ugh. Tough times for sure.

1) It will help you to realize that what is meant to be is meant to be. Spending time ruing past relationships or wishing things had gone differently in a job interview isn't constructive and--after time and perspective comes along--things always happen for a reason. I had a "perfect" job lined up and interviewed twice, knocked myself out with materials and scenarios, and didn't get the job a few years ago. I was very upset. Then my son got sick about 2 months later and I needed to spend a lot of time with him. This boss was like Mr. Lean In and I'm sure he'd have been very upset when I needed to make time for my son's medical appointments and more.

2) It is very important to be grateful for what you have when you have it and grateful for what you have that others don't have. I work with homeless people. Some of these are families with kids and they live in cars. The kids have to go to certain public libraries to use the bathrooms, the moms are terrified they will get tickets or towed, the kids can't make friends because they are afraid to get close to other kids. Maybe you want to start volunteering at a soup kitchen or volunteering for a cause you believe in while you're job hunting? Maybe you want to start a gratitude journal to make yourself aware of what is going right in your life.

3) I don't know if you will find it funny or ring true in any way, but I read on one of the DCUM posts this explanation.

The part that might really be part of your world is that part towards the end, the Facebook Image Crafting. You may be feeling like you can't talk with your friends about rejection because you may be seeing them only bragging. IF this is feeding into your bad feelings, you need to stop doing so much social media, start seeing your friends face to face, so you have more heart to hearts with them. Their lives aren't perfect. Your life isn't perfect. You can help each other and not be consumed by feelings of inadequacy.

Hang in there. You have so much time to realize that things happen for a reason and that you have many many things going for you.[/quote]
