Family Issues
My father retired a while back and I been supporting him with part time jobs here and there but I can't find an actual job with my engineering degree every time am alone with him he shouts at me and tell me how useless I am that I can't find a job look at everyone else working full time jobs. I have been searching for jobs everywhere and they want 5 to 6 years experience and I dunno where to get that . But my dad isn't helping at all he only knows how to shout remind me he spent so much money on me and tell me how useless I am .
I hate having no sibling and my mother passed away years back and I wanna leave him but I can't who will support an angry man if not his own blood but its impossible for me to be in my right mental state if I continue like this.
@raspberryGrapes9910 I’m sensing your finding your father unsupportive and discouraged . You feel rushed and pressure to find a job. I would say continue; don’t give up as simple as it sounds. You are welcome to have a 1-1 chat with one of our listeners or reach out in members group support chat. I hope you find a job soon and even if you don’t continue spending time doing your leisure activities , hobbies, education, volunteering to take your mind of the pressure. It maybe helpful to check university sites for careers advice and tips on finding specific jobs. Sometimes sending a CV to a specialist organisation may help if you don’t know where your skills fit in. We are all work in progress and imperfect humans; please know we are not machines and need time to reflect ❤️❤️
@raspberryGrapes9910 I am so sorry you are in an emotionally abusive situation. That can weigh on people and affect their mind and emotions. Hope you can find ways to insulate yourself from that.
There are challenges in the work place. Have you considered doing an internship where you can work in the field and get experience, and you may get a job offer that way.
Temporary agencies are also another avenue to try. Hope you get the support you are looking for. I find these self help guides help me gain perspectives on my challenges. https://www.7cups.com/supportGuides/selfHelpGuides.php
