Just over a year ago, I quit a job when my employer threatened to fire me for taking sick leave after they refused to let me use PTO to take my mom to an out-of-town specialist doctor for her MS. Since then I've been living off savings and my unemployment insurance which has barely been enough to cover my expenses. Now my savings are gone and my unemployment insurance ends this month. Just looking at job listings has me so damned depressed I haven't been able to bring myself to apply for anything.
I've considered trying something like doordash but I live in a pretty small town and only a few places have recently started working with them and after reading the doordash driver reddit I'm not sure I'll actually make money to help.
I have no special skills or training and only real job experience is customer service so I have no idea how I'm going to survive without getting another job for another company that will pay pennies and demand I devote every waking hour to making them more money.
If anybody has any ideas I'd love to hear it.
P.S. For the record I'm also living with family because just after quitting my job my landlord kicked everyone out of the apartment complex so he could do “renovations” (I've talked with some of the current rents and he didn't change shit) then doubled his prices and required everyone to reapply if they wanted to move back in.
