...I do feel nuts. I'm averaging about $6-7 an hour, when there is work. My apartment lease will expire in 2 months and my savings are gradually going down. I've also just experienced the loss of a long-term relationship, so my personal life has changed drastically. Confidence is in the gutter. I've asked for help and referrals from everyone I know and even people I don't know. I've put in for every clerical job, medical office front office job I thought I may qualify for, but I feel I can't face people right now. No help to anyone or to myself.
