Being unemployed and no money

I need to vent because there's no one close who understands my situation. I moved to another town 30 miles away from my old address. This is a much smaller town. I don't have new friends, I've lost the ones I had. I really cannot get around because my car is having issues. So that's a drag really when I'm trying to find a job. I am single, midlife woman, no kids and moved in with my parents who's renting part of a house. My inability to get a job after 2 years of looking is making me sink lower in depression and cynical about myself and the future. My parents especially my dad have been hard on me, forever reminding me how I've become a burden to them. I'm easily distracted by the bickering between us. My only friend is my 12 year old dog who is not allowed to come in the house. My dad belittles my dog and he doesn't understand how big a help my dog has been in alleviating my depression and anxiety.
Just say hi, so i know you're here .

You are in a tough situation but knowing how it is living in a small town, I know what you are going through.
If you are still looking for a job after two years, chances are that you need to change something about the way you are looking. Since you obviously have access to the internet, so some searching and update your resume. Try a different approach with your cover letters. Check your appearance and attitude when on interviews-make sure you are presenting yourself in the best possible light. Apply for part time because once you get your foot in the door, you may be able to work up. Also, don't forget about volunteering. Volunteering may lead to paid positions and may help you get back the confidence you had in yourself.
Good luck and don't give you-you can do this!
