Venting graduated and unemployed, feeling like shit again

[missmiseery]

I am a 21yo female and soon i will have a bachelor in psychology (look at the irony lol). Lost my last job and now it's so hard to keep living, since it was an internship I don't have formal experience and no one wants to hire me, I have to keep applying to shitty jobs and even them don't want me, even though I studied like hell since I was 16. I had abusive parents and I'm scared i'll be drowing in debts and will need to move back with them. I think I'd rather die. I'll have to stop doing therapy because I can't afford it anymore. Last night I dreamed my mother was abusing me and I woke up feeling dirty, terrible, I don't know how I'll look at her now. I've been eating the same food everyday. Every day I think more and more that if I don't find anything, I won't be moving with my parents again, I'm gonna CTB.

Are there social service agencies near you? Contact them. The one I worked for was open to bringing people on that just graduated and had limited experience.
It is hard work but you gain a lot of experience and get a check.
It can be very rewarding. No matter how crappy our life can be, there are those in worse shape.

I would like to tell you the same that someone told me in another thread (me being a dietitian with obesity and binge eating disorder): you can be a great therapist because you have the insight that a lot of therapists don't. You know the territory of mental struggles and suicidal thinking first hand. The mental health field needs people like you! I really hope you find something. Good luck.

I actually applied to the last one that was hiring but didn't pass due to misinformation on the notice. I used to work with children with autism and other disorders, and I loved it. I miss it a lot, if I could find one of these jobs again it would be so good
Thank you for your message

Im in the same seat as you (Bachelors in Sociology but with a minor in psychology), im 25 now (I studied extra courses for the money) and the job market is absolute shit right now, heck i even see mcdonalds positions being filled up instantly. I am so sorry you are going through this.

Hugs for you ^^

Thank you so much. I know how bad therapists can make things worse, but I am willing to do my best when it comes to my patients
