As someone who has always been prone to getting down in the mouth, a couple of ideas.

Listen to what you're telling yourself. If you catch yourself thinking about how bad the situation is, change your train of thought. Controlling your mind is half of the battle, if not the whole battle.

Remember, if business is off 40%, 60% is still out there. Concentrate on the 60%.

Go out every day and apply for five jobs. Apply for any job that you can bear. If you get a chance to make 20 bucks, take it. If you're out there trying to help yourself, you'll be amazed at the people who will help you to do it.

I know it's lame, but read "The Power of Positive Thinking". It will help you get your mind right.

Just some thoughts,

Chas

Chas is right, keeping busy, and staying positive the most important things. It never helps to sit and stew. Never. As I've said, I've never been on unemployment, but I have taken work beneath my skills, just to keep busy and keep some bills paid until something better popped up.

Anyhow, I hope something breaks for ya soon, Tim.
Keep us posted.

Dave

Some good news, that ignoranus Bunning finally withdrew his objection.

You've been studying your vocabulary list again, haven't you?

There is always a waiting period. The idea is to incentivize a person to get back to work quickly, not encourage them to go on welfare.

Most states also have a longer waiting period if the applicant has voluntarily quit or been fired for cause.
