Feeling discouraged by job search
I've been trying to find a job for a long time now and it seems like every job I apply to I either get rejected or ghosted. The ones that do reply to me are scams or AI training jobs in disguise.
I'm looking for a work from home because that would be more convenient for me, or at least a hybrid. I used to work from home before, and I honestly kind of miss it. One of my sisters works from home. And I know people that work from home. So I know there's a job for me out there. I just can't seem to find it.
It's been pretty annoying because I keep getting medical bills and dental bills and student loan bills in the mail and I'm like, I don't have a job, stop sending me stuff!! And there's still more dental work I need done that is not going to be cheap. I have health insurance but no dental. My sisters and my mom help me pay for stuff like my cellphone bill and anything else I need but I'm getting impatient and I just wish I could support myself. They have their own bills to pay so sometimes I feel like a burden. I know I shouldn't think like that but I do.
I could REALLY use some encouragement. And advice. I wouldn't mind that either.

I am not sure where you are or what type of jobs you are looking for. Many ads and places saying remote on job sites are NOT real. I saw article that 1 in 5 job ads appear to ghost jobs most listed as remote.
are you limiting applying to only jobs that seem remote? some jobs that i have had contact recently with want at least hybrid and are willing to work with the right candidate.
@annabanabread I'm the same way, and what's even more hopeless is that I don't even know what I'm capable of doing.
