I can do this...
I finally went to see a doctor. I have bronchitis and a sinus infection. I'm on antibiotics. I have a fever. Lelapin lives in an apartment and her neighbors were blasting music at 1:45am. I have a headhunter meeting at 9:30 and another at 3. I can hardly prop my eyes open. The economy, credit and the election have formed the perfect storm for anyone looking for a job. Very few jobs and even fewer phone calls.

I can do this, right? I can achieve what seems impossible now and find courage long-since lost. Self-confidence that evaporated after being humiliated and hurt.

I'm tired. I'm beaten down. I'm ready to curl into a ball and tell the universe "enough". Maybe the universe will move on without me.

3. Glad to hear that you're going
to see a Doctor. Once you get your health and strength back, you'll feel better both physically and emotionally.

And yes, you can do this! We all have faith in you, and we're all pulling for you.

I feel for you -- hope you can get some rest in the middle of the day. When in doubt, caffeine is good too. Energy and good vibes to you. :)

9. You can do it, lizziegrace!
Don't worry about the universe, just get through this day.

Don't sell yourself short. You have a lot to offer, both personally and professionally. Sometimes we fail to see the positive ripples we create in the world... from what I have read here, you are a virtual tsunami to your DU friends.

Go, lizzie, go!

10. You can do it
This too shall pass, cliche as it might seem. I have been where you are and it's hell to go through but it's not forever. And you will be a much stronger person after.

Many :hug: for you.

13. believe in yourself
You've had your fair share of crap and it's time for the good stuff.


good luck lizziegrace. :hug:

Stand up tall and tell the universe "enough!" No curling up into a ball except to rest and get feeling better.

15. One down, one to go
not very promising but I'm running out of options. The appointment this afternoon is with a different agency. I leave for Milwaukee in the morning, unless the neighbors crank the stereo again. If that happens, someone will have to come post bail. I can't be held responsible for my actions...

18. Aww...
:hug:

Got your TM. This AM I asked someone here to follow up on that thing... there have been some MAJOR things happening here that have, well.. caused heavy distraction.

Someone who you spoke with here also asked for your resume (again) and she said she'd pass it around to everyone she knows.

23. Yeah, you can do this.


You have a lot of skill and talent at your disposal, and a lot of options. Not all of the options are in your designated field, of course, but many people make a career change and then find something they like even better. What I did after college when I couldn't find a job in my field was to look through the paper and find the jobs that look like the most FUN, and start applying for them - enthusiastically! I got one, and it was! Sometimes I still wish I would have stayed there instead of deciding that I needed more education.

"Opportunity sometimes knocks very softly." ~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

27. You can do this
The universe is sending everyone that cares for you to send all healing and positive wishes. I am running low right now, but I'm hoping that whatever I can scrape together will do it.

YOU CAN DO THIS.
