bankruptcy gone wrong

How can I overcome the fear of looking for a job?
I had to file for bankruptcy because I got behind on my house payments. My boyfriend is paying all the other bills. My ex roommate didn’t pay me for 4 months leaving me to pick up all the bills alone. Her part of the bills added up to $2460.00. I am depressed over loosing my job and I hate looking for one. I’m sleeping too late in the day and everything is just falling apart right before my eyes. What is wrong with me? I need to go get a job but I don’t.
Life can sling crap at you from time to time and it’s normal to be depressed from it. Screw taking pills and listening to people tell you just get over it. You don’t get “over” anything, you get “through” it. Natural progression – be depressed for awhile, your situation stinks, no one can blame you!
Then you will eventually look further down the road and see that there is more to existence than depression (it gets boring) and you will see a little more clearly, chomp down a Snickers (or two) and log onto Monster.com to look for a worthwhile occupation.
Unemployment is an unnatural state. We all hate our jobs, but as soon as we don’t have one we feel unneeded, depressed, broke, and without direction. At least after the first few weeks of Golf, shopping, and coutless hours of DVD watching.
Anywho, don’t be depressed too long, you’ll miss the joy of having a few weeks away from the Rat Race. Look for the silver lining – you’re still as intelligent as you were when you had that job, probably moreso now, so why wouldn’t someone else hire you to do the same thing. And maybe for more money!
Good Luck!
