Depression
We all have negative feelings or pains that come from a failure at some point our lives. Being unemployed enhances this feeling even more. Depression plays serious tricks on the mind that can even sometimes be deadly.
Sometimes we may even feel as if though we are complete failures. However, this thought is an irrational thought. In this episode, I share my personal experience with unemployment and depression.

Tips to Note –
Regardless of how you might feel, know that you will be employed again no matter how long it takes. Good employees are hard to find. Maybe, being unemployed may even spark your own entrepreneurial spirit. So you might even start your own business. However, positive things will not happen until you change your mindset and start to do something productive.
