Dear All,
I have been severely depressed for the past few years. Every time a new year starts, I feel something would improve. I and my family have been facing quite a difficult situation.
I have been unemployed for the past 2 years. After completing my graduation in 2016, Every time I've applied or tried to find a job, I failed. I've tried appearing for competitions, giving endless exams, tried for employment at private firms but never get a call, even if I do, I get stuck in the final end and am back to square one. This has happened one too many times and I can't help but see a pattern in all of this. My peers and juniors have mostly got jobs (due to contacts, mostly and good luck). I feel isolated and dejected now and don't really see any way out of this slump.
My father retired last year from his government job. On his retirement, the company just gave him a cheap shield whereas to other retirees money was awarded. They are not settling his leave dues which is quite a significant sum and have been misbehaving with them post-retirement. It's harrowing to see this treatment meted out on someone who gave a significant number of years to service, braved life-threatening situation at times.
On top of it all, his younger brother is not giving my fathers willed ancestral property. He has leveled false allegations on my father and is refusing to part with the property. My father does not want to get into messy litigation.
My Sister is facing every roadblock possible in getting her work permit.
Somehow, as a family, we are holding on. But these never-ending troubles have taken a toll on me. They just don't seem to end. Sometimes I wonder if things would always be this way.
