Hello SullenGirl,
I have been unemployed twice already at the age of 27. I am so grateful that I start a new job next Monday but that is only for three months (there is a chance for extension).
In the first period I could manage very well. It was frustrating at times and I felt depressed as well but I hang on for the best. I came closer to God and found some new people along the way. That really helped me.
When I worked for a year, the company where I was working for couldn't extend my contract due to the economic crisis. I agree with you that you then are coming short on experience when you apply for new jobs. Another negative part is that I'm schooled in the building sector and it is still going bad in the building sector so there aren't a lot of jobs.
Now I lived at home for three months and this 'shorter' period was much harder so I'm really glad I found a job. It gets me out of the social isolation and I feel that was just a curse. I can understand how you feel!
One thing I can say is that you must not give up. Luckily, I'm not a big spender and I'm raising money to finance a new study. Though it's hard, keep your focus clear. It's maybe a thought to start with voluntering for things. It helps to break out the spiral that you feel you are in.
I wish you all the best and I know you will manage because you're going on with applying for jobs and that's really good!
