So I am feeling a little down today. I am stressed out about money and not working enough. I did leave my full time job, because I was tired of being treated like **** and being bullied. I have a part time job that I go to maybe 3 days a week, but I am also a full time student and I feel like I have to much free time. I mean yes that's a good thing if all I needed to do was study, but I have bills to pay. I am applying to everywhere I can think of for a full time job so I can possibly get my own car this year. My weight loss is going well its about the only thing I feel like I have control over. I miss my sessions with my therapist, but no insurance means no sessions so I hope you guys don't mind being my temporary  therapist until I get health insurance again. I know I can count on your kind words of encouragement to get me through I'm sure this is just temporary, but doesn't make it suck any less. thanks again.

Just a thought but maybe volunteer somewhere. I have heard of many people having this turn into a paying job. Plus it will take care of some of that down time. Maybe at the local hospital?

Sending you a hug . . . and will say a prayer for your job search.  God can and will provide.  I salute your courage to quit a job that was toxic.  Don't lose sight of your great accomplishments and be kind to yourself.

take a deep breath, everything will be ok. Never ever let any1 bully you for any reason, you quit ur job bc of bullying but who's suffering, like cutting of ur nose to spit ur face. Stand up for urself, pick urself up, go apply for jobs and things will fall  into place. Kill them with kindness the one's who bully you. You will always come out on top. Y r they bullying u?

A tip that has always worked well for me when I moved to a new area or was inbetween jobs was to sign up with a temp service.  They knew my available hours up front and I was never obligated to take any job they offered me.  But I got three major job offers from employers after temping from them!

This sucks and I'm sorry you're going through it.  

As for the free time - when you're not job searching, can you add volunteering like was suggested above?  Or exercise?  Exercise fills up a lot of my free time and it helps with my mental (and physical) well-being a lot.

Many grad school students offer free or close to free counseling because they need the hours in order to graduate. You can definitely look into that. There are also sliding scales. 

I know what it's like to not be working as much as you like, maybe, just maybe this is a sign. What about a career change somewhere that helps you pay it forward to being healthy and helping others do so? You can start by volunteering somewhere, and then maybe that would spark a new career. 

Best of luck to you!
