What can I say about the past week? It's been a rollercoaster thats for sure, My cat is gone, my little boy went to a new home, I couldn't scrape up the petrol money to get up and get him, so my mother found him a new home, not to mention it suited her to get rid of him as soon as she could, but that's my mum. Gyps hun, Thank You for the offer that you would look after him, it meant the world to me, knowing that you were willing to help me... but yeah, Goodbye my kitty...

Been going for a shitload of interviews the past few days, it's now been two weeks since I have had a shift at work, they haven't called to ask me to come in, but then they also have'nt bothered to call me and tell me they don't need me, GUTLESS BASTARDS. The least they could do IS CALL ME and tell me they don't need me, no wonder I decided not to tell them I'm seeking other work. I guess this technically makes me unemployed... Oh crap.

I think I'm going ok with all the interviews, slowly building up my confidence with each one I go to, although it doesn't help that still with each interview I freak out beorehand, and just want to drive home, it's a constant battle with myself at the moment, but I'm getting there. I guess it's just a matter of time, hopefully I find something soon though, I hate the feeling of unemployment, worst of all I hate the thought of having to claim centrelink, but I'm sorting that out too, I need money to survive somehow. Let's just hope something comes up soon.

I am so sorry to hear you lost your baby boy... it is hard... but at least he has a new home...

As for unemployment... talk to Centrelink about disability job network.. if you can... you can get some support to find a new job... one that recognises you have depression and need some support...

Interviews are always nerve wracking and I have been for hundreds of them... you have done well to keep going to them when you feel the way you do...

take care...

Sorry things have not been going well for you. Your poor baby had to go - nice that Gyps offered. Mothers can be so horrid - Queen Bee was horrid to me on the phone tonight and my father was saying get rid of the psychiatrist I am seeing in the back ground - they have no idea of the damage they are doing to me - hubby not here - no idea where he is/has gone.

Hope you get a job. Do go to centrelink and speak to their disability officer who can help you with employment with suitable employers who understand mental illness. Not good you haven't had a shift in two weeks at your other employer - sounds like it is thanks for coming Jess. Call them and make sure they pay you everything you are owed if they are not going to give you any shifts.

Interviews are daunting and I can tell you the more practise you get the more confident you get but do contact Centrelink's disability officer.

Go Jess!!!
