Yeah, 2old - looking for, and not finding, work can be soul-crushing. For me it was gaining a lot of weight, and having a job in a place that I hated. The worst part was how clueless I was about the state I was in. Now I've lost most of the weight (and still losing), and feel healthier and energetic and confident. I still don't much care for my job, but I approach it much differently now. I go in with my head held high and a smile on my face. I'm friendly and approachable, and that has made a world of difference.
