Venting This job market is horrific

[broken_stoic]

I have been out of work for some time due to mental health. Fortunately I had some saved up. Now I'm not really functional yet, but I have to start job hunting and need to restart my career. I actually want to make it now . . . at least today I do and for the last couple of weeks. I think eventually (maybe a few months, maybe a few years, maybe a couple decades) I'll check out. But now I'm not sure I have a choice. I've been applying furiously to jobs, but the market is just . . . really really bad. If I get to the point where I'm going to end up homeless, well that means I die on the streets pretty quickly due to health issues. I won't end up there. If it comes to that I'm calling it. I just wish I didn't have to. And maybe I won't, but it's not looking good.

Sorry to hear. Are there people to maybe help you out financially so you can outlast maybe a few more weeks of unemployment?

You might be able to start someplace through a temp agency. Sometimes companies hire through a temp agency so they can see if an employee is really going to work out.
