I could use a lot of prayer right now. I can't mentally or emotionally handle it here at home anymore and it has pushed me into making extreme decisions tonight. I'm looking for homeless shelters that would be willing to take me in since I do not have any friends around where I live. My mom has been a controlling parent all my life and right now, this is the point where I have had enough as she has threatened to take my laptop away when I'm the one that paid for it in the first place. She doesn't believe me when I tell her I have been applying for multiple jobs but to no avail, I haven't had any doors opened for me to work and I am bamboozled about it. The tension has just gotten so unhealthy that if I do not take the steps to leave, it is just gonna get worse. Please pray that a miracle happens.

I'm sorry you are going through it and feeling what you feel. Being unemployed with little to no job experience and still be overlooked at when applying for the most basic jobs sucks, then you got people pointing out that you're jobless who have no idea how much you felt like crap before they state the obvious. I don't know about your employment history, but just thought on saying mine if it can make you feel somewhat better. It wasn't like when our parents were young and the economy as well as job openings weren't as bad and yet these very adults who've been at their jobs for 15+ years do the judging.

I also know how it feels to want to run off as well. In fact, a few months ago I wanted to do just that while on the edge of a panic attack. Can't guarantee that shelters are the best way to go since I've considered those too, but if you really have nothing else like relatives then try it. Hopefully what ever decision you end up making will be the best route and keep us updated if you can.

Oh, my dear sister! I had no idea it had reached this point. You're in my prayers. May God give you His unfathomable peace and may He lead you where you need to go. Hang in there! Cling to Christ. Don't let go!

Father give this person a peace and sound mind in Jesus Name. I lift up my eyes to the hills — where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. — Psalm 121:1-2

Praise God from whom all blessings flow! I'm moving to Illinois to help care for my grandfather with Alzheimers because he is in that state where he needs someone with him at all times! Yes, I'll be living with my grandparents for a time but it will most certainly reduce tensions here at home! This is an answer from heaven above! Thank you all for praying. Please continue in prayers that God opens more doors available for job opportunities. Thank you!
