Oh I've had jobs, but they've all been summer jobs. Now I want a permanent one it's proving difficult. I'm already volunteering at the local CAB, so hopefully that'll help.

I think a lot of us have been the same boat here Vicki and it is simply a case of keeping your head up and keep going.

I'm not sure what roles you are looking at but if its an industry where you can get freelance experience, I would suggest it.

Using websites like peopleperhour.com can lead to CV buffering exp.

Also, Volunteer in roles and network.

Send out eye-catching mailers to companies that you would like to work for. Rather than sending out boring cover letters and CVs, stress the qualities you possess and reasons why that company would benefit from employing you.
 
Close to 50 hours now and still no sleep. My mind is racing more than ever. I can't even lie still and all the time I'm having weird visions and thoughts pounding through my head. This is torture. :(

Social rejection is getting too much and i have no desire to do anything. I've not partaken in any of my hobbies this week and I just want to hurt myself. There must be something wrong with me if my friends are pushing me down their list of priorities like i'm nothing.

First off, It is not a refection on you that your friends have other things to do before you. I don't know your age or that of your friends, but as people get older stuff forces friends down the list of life.
 
I always feel like my issues are too trivial for the seriousness of this thread sometimes but still... This is making me a bit down nonetheless:

I just feel like I'm drifting away from all my friends. The ones that are at Uni I never see for obvious reasons, my friends I made at Uni are no longer seen because they're all over the country and the ones that live here I haven't socialised with in weeks... I just feel a bit isolated :(

I don't think it's for any reason at all. Nice middle class upbringing, parents still together, no problems coming out as gay. There's literally no reason for it at all. I really think it is just something faulty, a disorder, in my mind.

Sorry by the way everyone, that last post was really stupid!

Forgive me, this may have been asked previously, but have to been to see a professional psychiatrist about your problems? Considering that they may be able to recognise the reasons that you feel as you do, even if you yourself are unable to do so? No doubt it's something that you have at the very least considered, but have you actually tried it? :)

Unfortunately, it just sounds as though you have bad friends. This isn't a reflection upon yourself whatsoever and I'm sure that (even if you don't feel like it) participating in your usual / new activities and trying to make new friends will be to your advantage in the log run. Just try to keep yourself occupied, talk to new people et cetera, you come across as a likable person and I'm sure you'll be able to form new friendships quickly enough. I'd also suggest speaking to the friends who're pushing you down their priority list, tell them how you feel, see if they're willing to change. If not, try to move on. :)

Best advice I can give you here is not to be afraid to make the first move! If you're missing these people, then try your best to get back in touch with them. Give them a ring and see if you can arrange something, or even just have a chat if they live elsewhere in the country. I'm sure that some of your other friends from Uni feel the same, but you're all in a stand-off kind of position.
 
Think my eyesight is getting worse :(

Wouldn't be a problem for anyone else but I've got numerous things up with my eyes that means this is a big deal for me. I don't need any sort of aids in getting around (which means I look perfectly normal) but my night vision appears to have worsened and it's scaring me a bit :(
 
I would give literally anything in the world to be asexual and aromantic. I'd take that over becoming a multi-billionaire, if given the choice.

LIES!!

Having a ridiculous crush on someone is really tough if there's little to no chance of it working out, however it will pass! Vent at me in the meantime via Facebook, chat, or Skype. ;)

As thoughtful and kind as that is, Sam has no ex-wife nor children (as far as I know). I thought he was homosexual which pretty much stamps the idea I got from the post, and that bizarre statement has left me really, really confused. :eek:
 
I'm guessing he's quoting some lyrics? You feeling alright Sam?

It was metaphorical, I presumed that'd be obvious! :p

I joined a dating site the other day because I'm sick of being single. Had a guy chat to me for a while, he was cute. He gave me his number and we arranged a small date. Then, out of nowhere, he said he wouldn't be able to come and promptly blocked me. I'm imagining he had only just read my complete profile where I state that I'm trans (despite hm saying he read my profile and liked me beforehand).

I know this kinda thing is to be expected, but to me it's just another sad reminder that I cannot hope to have a normal love life like everyone else. All the trans oriented dating sites are of an adult nature so they don't appeal to me. All I want is to just date normal guys, if you really think I'm hot and have a great personality then it really shouldn't matter what gender I was assigned at birth.
