You're in the doldrums - been there

Posted: Apr 23rd, 2022 - 3:20 pm In Reply to: Depressed and Numb from low pay - Unhappy

"The "doldrums" is a popular nautical term that refers to the belt around the Earth near the equator where sailing ships sometimes get stuck on windless waters."

I live with family also right now and can only give a small amount towards household bills. But to make up for that, I help in a lot of other ways around the house like cooking and cleaning, etc. Social Security is a ways off for me, too. In the meantime, I'm looking into different kinds of part-time jobs. There are a few flower shops in my area, and I've always wondered if flower arranging would be a fun thing to do. There must be something you've always thought about trying, some interest or hobby. Lots of things like that can turn into job opportunities or ways to make some money. Wishing you the best!
