DickeyFuller - "It has been almost impossible for anyone older than 45 to get an interview, much less a job, since the global financial crisis in 2008."I don't believe this, sorry.  Plenty of people might not be able to get the jobs they WANT, or the jobs that are ideal, or jobs that fit their educational or occupational backgrounds, but there are plenty of factories and restaurants and construction companies with open slots for hard workers. If someone has been chronically unemployed since 2008, he needs to make some significant changes and compromises.  Regardless, plenty of folks feel hopeless and despairing at times - I'm thinking of all the women currently being forced to endure unwanted pregnancies, for instance - and yet they somehow refrain from killing people. Depression is not an excuse, and it never will be.
