Is anyone here unemployed and friendless?

I need someone to talk to. I'm going crazy. I've been unemployed for 6 months and my last 3 interviews have led to nothing. My confidence is so low and I have no friends to get stuff off my chest. Being isolated sucks, cause alll I do is worry and keep stuff inside my head. I've been going to a therapist for a while and I'm on medication, but until I get a job, there's not much progress that can be made. I feel trapped right now. I'm trying to stay positive, but I feel like I'm doing this all by myself and no one in the world cares about me. My last 3 job interviews went well, so I got excited and anxious about starting a new job, only to find out that I didn't get it. Now I have to start all over again and fill out more applications. The stress is killing me!

Has anyone gone through this before? I mean, like starting completely over with no friends or no job? How did you do it? I'm sick of staying home and I'm scared about starting a new job. Life is joyless it seems!

I do have a job, but I don't have any friends. It's difficult, and I know what you're describing. I feel lonely all the time, because I really don't have anyone to talk to. As much as I complain about school and work, I'm pretty sure they keep me sane. You should definitely try to find something to occupy your time. It makes life a lot easier.
 
Well I don't have a job, but I don't care about that right now. I don't need a job until later, but I do have absolutely no friends. I have only ever been able to make one friend in my life, who hasn't been my friend for like 3 years so I'm pretty empty. I don't even know how to make friends or what you are suppose to do as a friend. All I do is sit here all day waiting waiting and waiting for nothing. NOTHING. Screw friends at this point I don't even know how to have one, I need something else to be obsessed with.

Tell me about it, I use to have friends, like 2 years ago, but depression came, I dropped out, I got isolated, social phobia came. Now im almost 18
and im hoping I can get my GED, and then maybe a job. But only real friend I got now is my kitty.

I don't want to sound condescending, but I mean this: keep turning in applications, and do it regularly.

By the way, I believe that getting a job can be good for us; they expose us to people (co-workers, customers) and they can help us get out of our shells. Unless the job really sucks of course.
