I cant fight this feeling. [View all]

Been out of work since March. In that time I turned 60! I’ve exhausted myself job hunting. The only thing good in my life is that my 16 year old cat is still breathing next to me. I’m tired of not sleeping, boredom, frustration, crying and not recognizing that person in the mirror anymore.
