I need a job asap

[Amaru]

I really do, I have been out of work for going on 6 years now.
I have no self esteem, if I want the smallest thing I have to ask my partner for some money...I could not buy a pack of toilet rolls the other day till my partner finished work.
I'm finding it really difficult - I have a LOT of debt that i am trying to pay off, with the £80 a week I have to live on.

My moods are getting worse I know they are and I know this has a lot to do with it.

Does anyone know of any agencies other than rethink and mind that would help me find employment?

Suicidal. My partner has told me she basically hates me.

Holding on by a thread.

ok can you explain what you need/want?

I was puzzled why you posted about work in Mn but now you say you're suicidal. What's going on?

Hi Amaru hope you are ok. Can understand that must have felt awful with your partner when you are already feeling so low about your work / self esteem.

Why dis your partner say that do you think? Was there a situation led to it? Have you been out of work or raising children the past 6 years? If the latter then that is the hardest / most important job in the world so don't beat yourself up about that. Some mums go out to work to have a break!

It sounds like a positive that you are looking to meet your needs in terms of something for yourself. Could ou try and get a little time to volunteer somewhere, I am unsure sorry if there are other organisations who could help but maybe just your local volunteer centre? Possibly just some adult contact / constructive tasks might be good eg a community allotment (ours you get some veg to take home so not paid but still helpful)

Please come back Amaru and try not to take it on yourself so hard..

madmouse - probably because I suffer from severe mood swings?

I want to work, but I also have a very severe illness....

Will write more later, thanks Orangeflower7

Don't know of agencies to help you but can you think what work you have done in the past and whether it was helpful? What part-time work would give you self-esteem and help you?

I struggle with mental health and find work the thing that keeps me going, as long as it is part-time, as makes me feel valued and gives me structure. Have done all sort of things. Could you try volunteering a few hours a week until you can get a paid job?

You do not say what jobs you are interested in doing so hard to advise Some like care work will let you start off on their bank doing a few hours and then build up. Look out for employers advertising they are Equal Opportunities employers such as Civil service e.g Jobcentres Local Councils and in fact many larger Private firms and charities are EQual Opps . Find out main employers in your area Equal Opps employers have targets to fill when recruitng empoyees with health conditions and are obliged to treat employees with mental health conditions the same as those with a physical condition .This is really good news though you should not mention anything about suicide as you may I say may be seen as a risk Anyway millions have felt like that .Please be more specific about your needs so we can help
