Unemployment

Hello people! Is the first time that i am writing openly and trying to speak about what really bothers me and share it with all of you...well...i am one year unemployed and i don't really like it... The last 5 years i worked a lot in the humanitarian field,fighting for human rights and racial discrimination but lately as unemployed i have lost the confidence in myself, i have lost my energy and my sense of humour which was my trademark...i feel useless and i think i am starting to develop depression. I try to think positive and stay calm but is really hard...i have sent many cvs and still nothing...well in the middle of a financial crisis i can understand that isnt easy. So, i decided to participate in this forum...thinking that sharing thoughts and advices will help each other to ease our problems... What do u think?
