Staying Positive Is Not Easy
I find myself sometimes getting depressed over struggling just to survive. At one time I had a very successful job, owned my own home and was living very comfortably and after 30 years, it all feel apart. I moved my mother in with me who had Alzheimer's and took care of her until she passed away. During this time, problems within relationship and family got destroyed. Then my CEO and President retired, company moved, and I was out of a job. I have to keep myself positive in some way, as depression is even worse. I just keep on telling myself to be thankful for what I have, because their are people out there who have absolutely nothing.

Facing depression everyday while looking for a job is not easy. I have been out of work for almost a year (I am a chemical entrepreneur, consultant and chemist) and try to only be depressed on weekends and holidays. I am also my wife's caretaker as she is terminal with a failing liver. Living in expensive CA doesn't help either. I try to concentrate on any interviews and positive news. But the pressure still gets to me. We are trying to find a job closer to family in the Midwest but my age is not helping. I pray for us and all others who are in similar situations over the holiday!
