From my dad about how I need to get a job. The pressure is intense... I know my parents are disappointed and think if I tried hard enough I could get a good job. My mom said at one point she doesn't want to talk to me about anything except jobs until I get a good job. I can't stand the pressure, I'm getting it from everyone I know. I feel sick almost all the time. I have been looking for a job for over two years, and the entire time I've felt extreme stress and pressure. I don't want to do this anymore.

Sweety!!!!! Hugs from me! i hope this gets you because I was trying to write earlier on and it kept deleting it! I am sorry you feel so much pressure upon you. Being stressed out about this matter is quite reasonable. Things are bad for everyone (I won't even go into my situation) here in europe and the states unemployment rates are hitting the roof. It doesn't mean you are not doing your best, it just means that it might take a little longer. As I don't know exactly what kind of a job you are seeking I can not give you any specific advice and anyhow, I think that is probably the last thing you need right now. Just keep thinking you are doing your best. You are accountable only to yourself. Just don't give up! Persistence will produce results in the end, you'll see.
Hang in there! And don't worry if you don't have the time or energy to write much. Nobody will mind that, we know you care!
Kisses
Will try to write on more stuff later if the computer lets me and if not by tonight I am sure I'll get down to it.

So sorry to hear of all the pressure they are putting on you. It is sometimes hard for others to decide that it is a hard thing to do. You keep on plugging away and take their comments with a grain of salt, reminding yourself, that "The only thing I can do is what I can do. I cannot be someone who I'm not, who they want me to be".
