I am one of the fortunate ones at the moment. I say this not to make anyone feel less, but to illustrate a point.

I am employed again and have been since May. It is a blessing that I am grateful for every second of every day. Since I moved to a new city almost four years ago, I have been unemployed for 16 of the last 46 months. In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t seem like a long time period. But, I was behind in my bills when I moved out here, but got caught up pretty quickly once I started working. But, each stretch of unemployment just added to the pile of past due notices. Just because I had a job didn’t mean I was automatically happy. My depression stems from the fact that I’m working my butt off and am still behind.

I share all this to illustrate a point. Losing a job is only the tip of the iceberg. The depression continues even after you go back to work and still can’t get your bills paid. Frankly, I’m not sure which is worse; not being able to pay the bills because I’m unemployed or not being able to pay the bills because I’m so far behind I’ll never catch up. Frankly I’d rather have a reason for being behind, people tend to look at you worse when they know you’re working but your car gets reposessed or your utilities are shut off.

Employment doesn’t automatically bring happiness and getting a job isn’t necessarily the fix-all.
