I am bi-polar but lately most of my problem has been worry and anxiety.I have had 5 jobs within the last year and i think it is because I have been looking for jobs just to pay bills and not what I enjoy. I am 53 and the economy is so bad that I worry every day about finding a job. I am in school now to learn computer office skills since most employers want that but I learn very slowly.I have a teaching degree in art but there are no positions open. If I can't find a job I will have to give up everything I own and live with my parents which would be worse than death. How do I find and look for a job that can support me and that I enjoy. Everyday i sit at the computer practicing. I seem to be stuck and don't know where to turn. It scares me so much to hear about the economy, layoffs, forclosures and I fear I will never find a job.
Hi Leslie,
I understand your concerns and thoughts. You know the economy has had bumps like this before and recovered. I too am in a job that I feel is just a job to pay bills etc. I was in another job that paid less but was more fulfilling. Now it's so mundane but I make more money.
All, I know is that you are a sensitive person like myself and we often see things half empty. I have been told by so many others to see the glass as half full. 5 jobs in one year is ok when you think about the fact that you are searching to find something fulfilling.

Leslie Ann,
I hope this helps a little. No that is a consolation to know that where I'm come from you are out off shape (and too Old as well) after 35. I'm so amazed the economy on this country is so strong compare to other countries and have seen my own in-laws worry about the same thing and still getting tons of opportunities to get jobs. My mom is now 56 and thank God she can support her self other wise --as is very common in my natal country -- one of her children would have to step forward and take care of her, her bills and expenses.
Please, be proud of yourself. You're amazing by all means --you're bipolar, still learning new skills to get a better job and wanting to keep your independence-- wow!!! not everybody is able to do that so please give yourself credit for what you're doing for yourself.
Best of luck. Peace and happy journey!
