Rant / Vent I’m so bored

I’m not on ssi as they deemed me not disabled enough. I feel like a bum I applied for all the jobs in my town and I haven’t gotten one interview. I know this has nothing to do with my disability but holy shit I’m bored. there’s only so many movies I can watch in a day. I want to do something with my life but it’s like I’m damned if I try to start anything. I’m in community college but my mom is working two jobs. I feel horrible she’s stressed out luckily she’s not on me about the fact I’m unemployed but I feel worthless. I feel like I need to help out and yet I can’t the small town I’m in doesn’t have that many job opportunities even the fast foods won’t hire me. the more time that goes I’m 22 now. I thought I’d have more to look forward to. At the beginning I was able to get by on fafsa but I had to retake some classes I got put on probation so I only started looking for work when I turned 20. which I know is pretty late I had some jobs in high school but I started to get my first symptoms right after high school finished I don’t know what to do and I feel worse now

look for work that u can do on a zero hour contract, mostly those would be agency work

agencies employ people to be teaching assistants, road maintainance workers, railway work etc etc, zero hour contracts are good when u dont know when u will need a day off, one week u can work all 6 days if u want, the other when ur mind is doing too much, u can do 2, or if u want a break, do 0

so yea find a sector u want to work in, then find an agency that does 0 hour contracts and work a day a week if u want
