Have you ever fainted and blacked out from stress?

[Finchie40]

I fainted last night and collapsed on the kitchen floor floor , thank God my son and his friends were over because I don’t remember fainting , all I remember was feeling dehydrated and asking my son for water , and then I collapsed. My son was able to revive me before calling 911 , When I woke up I was covered in sweat , so I had my son put me in a chair a give me a lot of water. I started feeling better , Stress has been taking a toll on me for the past few weeks like I have this dark cloud sitting over me all of a sudden , so much negative things have been occurring in my life , seems like one thing after another , Losing my job was a hard kick on the ass and now I am faced with might having to sell my home , is eating me alive , I been applying to jobs every day and I am not hearing back from any of them , if I do hear back from them , it’s sorry the position has been filled. I have never been this stressed out in my life , i have always been a happy outgoing kind of guy , and a hard worker, but lately I feel it’s so hard to feel that happiness again , with all the negativity that has been occurring in my life and around me , it hasn’t been easy to smile.

Why don't you and your wife both together sign up TOGETHER for that
homestead exemption that Iron man was talking about? I don't know what it's for, but you can ask him. And what does it mean when you homestead your house. Isn't that so they can't take it away from you? I thought there were laws about that.

I didn't hear either of you say you were getting unemployment money. What's up with that.

Now that you are low income, you can sign up for your State's Medicaid Program. If your State has it, you can apply to be your wife's caregiver and they'll pay you to be her caregiver even though you are her husband. But she needs to be on your State's Medicaid Program first. They have social workers to help you. You need to ask for one unless they assign one for you. You can get food stamps and other things from your State's Medicaid Program.
Have you signed up with LinkedIn to try to get a job?

Are you still a truck driver by trade?

If you go into Google and type in the search box "Are there any job openings in my area"? They will send them to you. If your phone has your area you live in. These aren't the greatest in the world, but maybe something is better than nothing.

I know from my own experience in the long life I've lived so far that even if you have to get anti-anxiety from your doctor, that may calm you down somewhat so you can think better.
FYI every single doctor I have gone to, no matter what's wrong with me, they want you to take antidepressants. I think they do that so Big Pharma stays in business. But it's up to you if you think they'll help. They didn't help me, and they made a guy friend of mine turn really grouchy and he stopped using them.
Well, hopefully some of this info. might help you. Just knowing we care about you a lot may help you.

Please take some deep cleansing breaths through out the day. Breathe in through your nose and very slowly breath out through your mouth. Do this 3 times a few times a day.

We are here uf you need us. Remember, we care very much about you and your situation.
Please let me know if you are a truck driver ok?
🍀🤞☮️

Thank you and no I am not a truck driver , I was a branch manager make a decent salary, I been applying to jobs like
Crazy and I am not hearing back from any of them , the only thing I hear is the position has been filled. But I am still trying and praying I land something soon , As for my home I am going
To call my mortgage company and see if there is any type of assistance I can get until I get another job , to buy me more
Time to fix up some of the things that need to be done before I choose to sell if I have to sell, so I can at least walk away with a pretty penny to start over where ever I end up. I applied to jobs that I am qualified for in other states as well , if I have to relocate , I will do what I have to do. I just feel attacked from all directions and it isn’t getting any better

[sage2021]

What kind of branch manager - of what?
I wish I could see a copy of your resume that way if I could jazz it up to make it sound better it might help. Even the format makes a difference.

And for your opening on your resume, you'll have so add more than just experience as a branch manager. I'm sure you know that, just sayin'

[7Phoenix7]

Yes, more than once. Hope you're doing a little better now

If I were you, I would take a day to sit on the couch, turn on the TV and read through my resume's I sent to the different jobs that rejected me. See if you can find out what might be working against you. Do something else you enjoy and then in the evening, maybe after the sun goes down and there's some amount of a change of scenery, fuck with your resume and apply to some more jobs.

Everyone's having a hard time right now and many of these companies are putting up fake job postings for various reasons. Personally, I would be careful how much time I put into postings where the requirements are outrageous for the pay.

Ie: 4 year degree, 5 years intermediate experience, names 2 totally different proficiencies that are totally unrelated and then the pay is 60k

[Finchie40]

Yea today I am just relaxing as much as I can , I am putting everything on hold , and making sure I keep myself hydrated and fed. The majority of jobs I applied for I am very well experienced in. But just goes to show these companies don’t give a flying fuck about anyone same goes for this government as well , everything is money and greed. It just sucks facing the fact that I might have to piss away every thing I have worked hard for because of how shitty this country has become. I grew up being a hard worker always had a job , and took pride in my work , to find out after all these years it really means nothing , just a temporary thing, Sad world we live in

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I agree, I be praying for you tonight friend!

Stress can take a toll of your health. Be positive, there are ups and downs in everyone's life. But situations change for the better in time. Nothing is permanent. Keep a positive outlook and do your best and leave the results to God/ He knows best !

[Iron_Man]

For the first time in my life many years ago. I got real lightheaded from starvation diet and I had gotten up real quickly and walked into a place and I kind of fell in the mall. It was really embarrassing but I jumped up immediately

[Iron_Man]

I just read the rest of your question now I’m really sorry to hear this I would highly recommend going to the doctor Monday

[Iron_Man]

I’m not working either and Dade County Doubled my property taxes. I’m also under a lot of stress. They did this in late August.

[Iron_Man]

I can barely sleep at night

[Finchie40]

Yea I am going to check up with my doctor this week just to play it safe. it sounds like you are going through similar shit that I am in with my home , they did the same thing to me with screwing me with taxes after the first year I bought my home they screwed me big time to the point I can barely afford my home anymore , now losing my job just added Morse stress to me, my company gave me a severance but the severance is only going to carry me for a few months , i am praying I can find another job before my severance runs out and sadly it hasn’t been easy. This country sadly has gone to hell in a hand basket to the point I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place of not knowing what to do. I worked my ass off to get the things I have and now I feel like I have to just surrender it all and start over. I don’t know if I have it on me anymore , the older I get the harder it gets. I feel so attacked in every direction , I still keep my chin up and try to smile , but sadly it isn’t easy to do anymore

[Iron_Man]

I’m going to pray for you. Actually, Dade county screwed me twice now with my childhood home when my mom passed away, in the early 2000s with my property taxes and I lost my $1.2 million house to a tax auction. And me and my brother were co-owners of the house here now that I own. Were both on the deed and we own the house together and he passed away from ALS and they screwed me again Dade County FL doubling it. All because we didn’t sign up for the homestead exemption but my brother signed up for the homestead exemption and it was approved and we both had no idea that we both had to sign up together Because we are both on the same deed and he’s older than me and gets a big break, so he went ahead and just signed up himself and we had no idea that we needed two people to sign for homestead exemption at the same time together. And no one even told us I thought my brother would be enough and he thought I would be enough. I had no idea they’re gonna double my taxes after 7 1/half years we’ve been here now I’m being treated like a new homeowner and that’s crazy. It’s just a big scam a rip off artist that Tallahassee Florida is doing more formalities more ways to get money out of you.

[Finchie40]

Prayers to you as well , All these years of hard work thinking you are doing the right thing to get better t over backwards and rammed right up the ass , this country is out for everyone’s money , they don’t give a flying fuck about anyone but themselves.

[Iron_Man]

Thank you my friend I appreciate that. Yes it’s really a shame and then when you’re homeless, they don’t give you the time of day after they screwed you over

[Gent207-2]

I'm sorry for what you are going through have you checked out temp agencies?

[Finchie40]

I been applying every day , I am up to 75 jobs applied to and I am not getting shit. I am even thinking outside
The box and not having any luck with that as well. The feeling of having to start over isn’t easy considering I been a hard worker my whole life and worked myself up to where I was , Now I feel like I just have to piss it all away , My company decided to close down my office and they did give me a severance but the severance is only going to hold me for so long. I can’t even go grocery shopping without taking a big chunk out of my paycheck , This country has sadly gone to hell , I have always been a hard worker and it seems it has gotten me no where , only temporary. I love my home and now I feel I don’t have a choice but to put it up for sale and downgrade of if I can’t land a decent paying job. The thought of having to move again is eating me alive

[Zestyassmf1997]

One, I think.
