I hope it turns out to be nothing. Maybe it's from the stress of my dental problems plus trying to find a job. I just want any job, but so far no one has called yet. :-( I should have started my job hunt earlier, I know. I was freaking out about school too much to go job hunting.
This is really bad, but I seriously don't know if I've been taking my meds! The whole dental ordeal has thrown everything off track.
That's it, I'm getting out of the house tomorrow. I can't stay stuck at home, it's going to make me depressed. I think I have too much time on my hands now. I need a job. Too much time doing nothing leads to boredom and depression.
I've been sleeping in waaaay too late...until nearly 3 pm!!! That's it, tomorrow I'm waking up early. I should go for a walk tomorrow and continue my job hunting.

Deneb what happened to the bill box idea? I thought you were going to buy one and that way you could keep track of your meds? We always have grand plans for the morning and then I sleep late too. Love Phillipa

I can relate. I also have that feeling of a hint of depression waiting on the horizon. I don't think anyone I know outside of babbleland gets it, so its nice to hear I'm not alone in it. Sounds like you have a good idea on how to handle it though.
I'm trying to find a new job myself. Have you ever used www.monster.com or www.careerbuilder.com. I've gotten alot of leads from them. Of course the Sunday want ads are a must as well. Hang in there, you'll find something.
Oh, and those pill boxes work really well. Its easy to forget if you've taken your meds because its one of those automatic things you do without thinking about it, like turning out the lights before you leave the house. Its not unusual.
I hope your tooth problem is taken care of soon! I had TMJ for many years so I know what its like to have pain in your jaw. Any pain in your head seems to effect everything and make it hard to think straight. I ended up having jaw surgery for mine (thank God!).

Yeah, it's a very subtle sort of thing, like your thoughts are a little less hopeful of the future.
> Sounds like you have a good idea on how to handle it though.
I think I'll be okay. Change has always been difficult for me. Changing from going to school to staying at home and looking for a job is significant for me.

No, actually I haven't. I'll look into those. I've been searching for student jobs on this job bank site from the government. I've also been just walking around looking for help wanted signs. I'm not very good at this job hunting thing. My resume kind of sucks too. I only have experience in fast food and in being an interviewer at this market research place.

I remembered the pill box idea today, but I couldn't buy it today because my Mom was with me shopping. She doesn't know I take 3 meds now. I don't want her to find out. I can't let her know I wasn't doing well a while ago.

Any pain in your head seems to effect everything and make it hard to think straight. I ended up having jaw surgery for mine (thank God!).Relief from pain sure is sweet! I'm glad the surgery fixed things for you. Right now the constant throbbing pain is gone, thank goodness! Seven days of it lead to me spontaneously crying. Now I get intense pain when I swish liquids on the tooth and pain when I put pressure on it. I have to chew carefully, but it's much better now. No one knows what is really wrong with my tooth. It might be cracked. I'm going to get a consultation with the root canal specialist on July 23.

You've got to start somewhere. When I was you age my resume was pretty much the same. Another thing you can do is go around to all the shops in the mall and ask if you can fill out an application. I did this all the time when I was working in retail, and its pretty much how I got my jobs. There's also grocery stores, at which I've also gotten jobs that way. They don't always advertise when they need people. And don't forget the paper today. I've gotten alot of leads from there too. Good luck!
