Jobless

Why would this pandemic make us better persons in the end? I've read this thought already several times. I find it naive. Even wars which last for years and are certainly worse than this pandemic don't change people in the end. The First World War lasted from 1914 to 1918. Already in 1945 the Second World War began.

No one wished for this but now that it is here we all need to adjust our thinking? It is difficult to ignore. What pandemic? Is there a pandemic? My worry is will it ever be over. At the very least if it is declared as over how long will the effects of it be over? Worry and anxiety doesn't make it better. There are some who have said that anxiety directly or indirectly can actually lower our resistance to disease. I've have not been too severely affected as I was already retired before this occurred but being jobless is a serious threat to our well being. Even in retirement it is a challenge. How can we be/do better? Good question.

I'm so sorry you lost your job. You must remain hopeful and positive, and I hope you get assistance from the government. I love your kitty cat! What a great photo!!!

@Damon31 Some will look at it as a test or challenge not having a job during this crisis and others may be depressed. I guess it depends on how you look at it. If you have not other means to get things you need then it is very hard. If you believe it will all work out then hopefully it will. Who is the beautiful cat in the picture?

Ofcourse.....anyone who is jobless will be facing such anxiety issues..I wish you get some source of income very soon

I lost my job too coz of the virus, Im still lucky hubby still has work i remain positive and grateful

Hello and welcome to MyLot :) I am in the situation that I am working Freelance, thus I am self-employed. The Pandemic has indeed changed the amount of incoming work that I receive. In fact, I think I've earned close to 60% less this year to date, than I had last year until this day. So yes, it is also a challenging situation for me. Honestly, this situation has made me start looking for outside employment, as that might seem like a more secure income. There are some sectors where employees are always needed - maybe time to even reeducate myself?

it's definitely not a good time to be jobless during this time But it can't be helped, hopefully this pandemic would end and things will be back to normal.

This has been a huge challenge to most people and I'm just hoping it will go away

I am self-employed and i lost 98%of my clients. Am not that stressed yet. My husband works. also I believe that this is just temporary.

Yes now need take care of them self lol. Stat home stay safe.

Things have changed and we cannot be as free to do activities as before.

I also think this is a joint test, always think positively and believe that every time there is a way out of trouble.

At first I thought so, but after pondering I became aware, maybe it's time I prepare myself to be the best by deepening skills and adding new skills

so far I have not experienced that jobless, but there has been a decline in income due to this pandemic. whatever it is we must respond wisely

Looking at the positive side of it. I think this pandemic makes us a better person. It challenge us to be more productive and look for the other way to earn.
