You WILL get through this and create a much better life for yourself. Things will get better. Know that. And believe it. It WILL happen.<br /><br />Unfortunately, finding a job in the journalism field is a rather difficult task these days. It doesn't matter if you're educated or not. Honestly, this is why I didn't major in journalism. With all the layoffs and newspapers and magazines shutting down, it makes it that much harder for people to find jobs. But someone, somewhere is looking for a talented writer like you and you will get a great job.<br /><br />The stuff about your apartment is very scary. Hopefully you will stay safe and you won't experience any other incidents like that in the future!<br /><br />Think positive! Everything will be okay.Rachel @ The Haute Noteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11050054196437279227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904020480081426344.post-6370832965967688232010-07-26T22:38:52.498-05:002010-07-26T22:38:52.498-05:00Darling, that sucks understandably.

Stay focused and keep tiring, eventually all of your hard work will pay off. I know it must be tough without a job but it can't be helped. No one is hiring now and it's so frustrating for people who have a college degree and spent a considerable amount of time studying for a future job that they no longer have or can't get. What are we supposed to do in this type of situation ? <br />About your diet, eating healthier, exercising and taking long walks will definitely pay off.<br />I can't even imagine the things you went trough because of that apartment, I would be terrified to know there are people out there trying to break in. <br />Please feel better, I am keeping my fingers crossed for you.Laura Tenshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05716454158114522330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904020480081426344.post-49369182042542793342010-07-26T02:12:08.726-05:002010-07-26T02:12:08.726-05:00Miss Jennifer the Fabulous, hang in there. I went ...Miss Jennifer the Fabulous, hang in there. I went through a rough patch recently and having come out on the other side, I can promise you things WILL get better. Stay optimistic and positive. I can't stress this enough. I used to make lists of the good things in my life from the big cups of iced tea for $2 at Starbucks to having toilet paper to the sound of laughter. It really helped me out. <br />Keep trying with the job hunt. Call old professors, friends for contacts, go through your alma mater's job listings board (most schools have them), and (carefully) do the Craigslist scene. When I was unemployed for two months, I spent them staying up late every night, sending out resumes and cover letters galore. It was exhausting and difficult, but the effort paid off. <br />I really hope your dad didn't say that to you. How horrible. But hold your head up high and stay strong lady! You are beautiful and confident and I have every faith that great things are headed your way :)Heather Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11559509881772694672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904020480081426344.post-57414504017971343662010-07-25T23:51:47.027-05:002010-07-25T23:51:47.027-05:00jen im so sorry ! you brougth me to tears.. not be...jen im so sorry ! you brougth me to tears.. not because of pity or anything ... its just that i know what it feels like .. especially the fact that you cant write about some things .. trust me i know what its like to have everything collapse. of curse iwish icould share things personally with just you .. but im writing on the internet here.. i have some secret problems that i can never even bring myself to say aloud .. things that will last forever .<br /><br />saadly i think that life really bottoms out sometimes ..hang in there. .things can only go up from here right?<br /><br /> have you ever considered teaching by the way ? <br />teachers are always being hired. <br /><br />look outside of journalism at this point<br /><br /> i bet your stress is whats holding you back from weight losss ..dont blame yourself .Damselshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16535027249908236760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904020480081426344.post-16252372465311007902010-07-25T21:17:52.195-05:002010-07-25T21:17:52.195-05:00Aw, darling, reading this made me so sad.

I imagine that must be truly difficult, but I mean, there's always someone worse out there. You are lucky to be such a beautiful, caring person.

That was my 2009. It was drama, inability to find a job form many months, dwindling cash reserves, health issues, etc. <br /><br />It's always easier said than done, but tackle one thing at a time. First, try to not beat yourself up about your weight. Stress releases cortisol which makes you gain weight. Since you are having a hard time finding a job and your computer situation is limited, use the extra time to take a longer walk, or switch your routine. Envision the body you want. Focus on just this one piece and up the intensity of your walks, or visit a nearby park with a friend and take a little hike if there is something like that near you. Eventually, it will pay off!<br /><br />Second. You are a writer, and a good one. Write these experiences down and when you have some internet time, get the editorial guidelines for your favorite publications and submit your stories. You never know!<br /><br />Third, your degree is NOT SHIT! I have a Master's in English, and didn't even go to J school. Re-tool yourself by learning the elements of writing for the Web. There are so many jobs for content editors and content developers. Use your downtime to study writing for the Web and Web usability. You have an awesome foundation...you just need to explore another avenue. Since you're blogging, I'm thinking you would really dig writing for the Web. If you want to talk about this, please email me at gritandglamour@gmail.com and I can tell you more.<br /><br />Fourth, volunteer. It gets you out of the house, allows you to meet other people, and takes the focus off your life. Pick something and go. You never know who you will meet, and who is in their network. Plus you are helping others, so you'll feel better about yourself and your time on the bench.<br /><br />I'm so glad you posted this because you can see from all the comments that you are not alone. Just believe and act on what you can and things will fall into place. After my crazy 2009, I'm actually in a great job, making more money than I ever had! I'm driving a virtual dream car and I've tackled...and cleared...one big health obstacle. So just keep telling yourself that this is temporary, and keep tackling every angle.<br /><br />And when it all gets to tough, repeat this mantra by Lady Chablis of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil: "Two tears in a bucket, mother f*** it!" Then do a Scarlett O'Hara and resolve to think about whatever is bothering you today on some other day.<br /><br />♥ V<br /><br />http://www.gritandglamour.comGRIT AND GLAMOURhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04398998656426753824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904020480081426344.post-51418412524327703272010-07-25T09:03:25.394-05:002010-07-25T09:03:25.394-05:00Jen, I really hope things turn around for you very...Jen, I really hope things turn around for you very soon.
