<prompt> Human: EDIT Thanks for everyones help and advice. I will definitely start tailoring my resume to every place I apply to, and in the meantime, maybe find a therapist who is in my range. For those worrying about my car- it is not 600 because its a super fancy car and I cant bear to do without it- the minimum is like 280-300 and I choose to pay 600 because I have the money and my payments are totally over in about 6 months. It would not be smart to sell it and then start all over when Ill have paid if off in full by NovemberDecember. I should have mentioned this in my OP. I am not going to quit and I will try to stick it out as long as possible because as others have said, theres no guarantee of anything happening within the next couple months, and unemployment looks way worse in the long run. Ive taken down notes from peoples comments, including the book recommendations. I was feeling pretty depressed yesterday but maybe some of the tough love on here has made me feel stronger today. I am going to keep trying to make it work. Thanks again.Im currently employed and receive a steady biweekly paycheck of around 1300. I cannot express how unhappy I am here, and have been applying to others jobs across the country since January. I would say I send in about 10-20 on busy weeks, 30-40 when I really get going. Ive gotten zero interviews, no offers, barely any responses except for some rejection letters. I cannot keep going like this. I will seriously lose my mind. Every day I feel like walking off. My shoulders are so tense you could break bricks over them.So its been over 5 months of active application, but over 2 years of serious depression and unhappiness because of my current job. I have about 5k saved up. Its not much at all, I know. I have no debt, my apartment is 500mo 100 utilities, car payment is 600mo, and I spend between 600-1,000 on my credit card for groceries, clothes, whatever I feel like.At this point, my mental health is deteriorating fast and Im on the verge of crying every single day when I get off work. I want to just quit. But I know that this is so, so reckless and I probably wont last long. Is it even worth it to consider? Do I just suck it up for now? How many people have just quit and have it work out? Im afraid Ill just be unemployed for the next 6 months, or possibly forever, and then what will I do? I am so desperate. I want out so badly. I dont know what to do. Someone smarter than me please advise me.Assistant: Rather than quit with no specific plan - go see a psychologist once a week until you feel less tense and unhappy.You may also want to talk to a career counselor who can help you with resume, applications, head hunters, etc.Human: Where do I find a career counselor?As for the speaking with a therapist, my insurance here is bad, but I make just enough money that the sliding scale doesnt benefit me, so I cant really afford it.

So technically, yes, its something I could afford, but for one or two sessions a month, the drive and cost is not worth it to me, as I cant see it helping me all that much. I would imagine Id actually want intensive therapy, so with weekly sessions, thats almost 400, with 4 hours of driving total. Again, yes, technically I could afford it, but I feel like its excessive for my budget. I dont really spend 600-1000 on frivolous indulgences, this includes groceries, internet, smaller bills, pretty much every month has an important family birthday or a holiday where I drop 100-300, depending on the event, and then its clothes or restaurants for myself.Assistant: The last time I really looked into things a few months ago, counseling with a therapist was 90-100 for a 50 minute session on my insurance, and the closest licensed therapist that I liked and matched with was 30 minutes away.

Cut back on restaurants for yourself. Cut back on clothes for yourself. Cut back on extravagant familyholiday outings.You have more than enough money for this. Youre just consciously choosing to put everything else above your own personal mental health. Which is my armchair non-professional diagnosis for the fact that you NEED to make therapy a higher priority in your life to make you a higher priority in your life.Human: Yeah ultimately I know youre right. Buying things or going out with friends sort of helps in the short-term, but its just like putting band aids over gaping knife wounds, blood spilling all over the place now.  <response>: Think about it this way - would you pay 100 a week for a limited time to help yourself feel better forever?
