It's been over a year since I last worked. It's been almost two years since I had a FT job. My last job was a temporary job working for Kelly Services, a temp agency. I haven't received any assignments from them since.
A few months ago I signed up for the Goodwill program. Goodwill accepts donated items from donors, sells it in their stores, and uses the money to help people who have barriers to employment find and keep jobs. They provide services for people with disabilities, and help people with things like filling out job applications, making a resume and taking an interview. They also help you to keep a job by staying touch with you and your employer for at least 90 days after you get a job. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but despite all that Goodwill does for their clients, it seems they have too many clients and never have enough time to work individually with each of them.
I am stricken with Tourette's Syndrome, Depression, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I have been seeing different physchiatrists for about 12 years now. I am 23 years old. I am on two medications: Zoloft (for Depression and OCD) and Risperdal (for Tourette's). I take a very small dose of each of these daily. I still live with parents even at age 23. I long for independence, but I don't feel like I'm ready to face the world on my own yet.
I figure the first thing I need to do to solve my problems is to get a job, second thing is to pay off some debts. I figure if I'm in good financial standing then that is a start. But there is a problem. Everyday I wake up in the morning I feel like I have no energy. If I forget to take my medicine, which I often do, it just makes things even worse. I feel like I have no motivation, no will to even do anything. Most days I can't even seem to get out of the house. I hardly ever get return phone calls for filling out job applications, and when I don't I find that I don't even have the will to call them myself. I feel hopeless. Depressed, and my OCD is acting up bad.
Now of course I know what I need to do. I need to schedule an early appointment with my phsychiatrist (which I plan to do tomorrow if I can get myself to do it). I need to tell that physchiatrist how I am feeling and see what she recommends. Then hopefully I can get on the road to recovery and get some meaning in my life.
For now I just need your prayers and your support. And if anyone in Nashville, Tennessee (or if you know someone in Nashville) is in need of a desperate man who is serious about getting and keeping a steady job, let me know about it, especially if it is a Hotel/Restaurant job.
Thanks for your support.
for me.

Good hope don't take as long as the normal.
