    Giving up isn't an option. You look until you find something. It's your duty.

    Yeah, but how do you support yourself once your unemployment runs out?

    I haven't given up as much as I have taken a break. I am not the most stable person, every rejection cuts to the bone to the point where I have thought of sending nasty, hate-filled, profanity-laced letters to HR. I have never acted on this, but when this happens, you need a break. I am still barely surviving. As much as I hate to use this, I have family who will take me in. This is the only way I will probably ever survive if I never find anything.

    You say you're not the most stable person. Did you ever think of filing a claim for Social Security disability?

    I don't qualify as mentally ill, I am just very passionate and take everything to heart. I don't have asberger's and am not bipolar or anything like that. BDD also doesn't qualify for disability. I am very physically and mentally able, I just get frustrated, which leads to anger and hopelessness.
