72 / 365 Bleed Dry
According to recent research completed by The Prince's Trust 'Unemployed young people are twice as likely to feel depressed as those in work. They are also more likely to feel ashamed, isolated and unloved more of the time..... More than one in four young people claim that unemployment caused them to exercise less and one in 10 young people claim that being out of work drove them to drugs or alcohol.'
Being currently unemployed myself, this research really worries me. OK, I am old enough to know what the right thing for me to do is (i.e stay positive, keep on applying and remain occupied during the day), but deep down I know I could easily start to feel isolated, rejected and as though everything I have worked for has been a complete waste of time. I know sooner or later I will start to feel like I have been Bleed Dry of all my motivation and drive to become a success. There is only so many 'unfortunately, on this occasion.... blah blah blah' I can take from these people before I start to become self confident of my ability to do anything!
But if I feel like this, imagine what people younger than me feel whose enthusiasm for life has been shattered. I would presume something similar to what is represented in this image! Now that is f***ing scary!
