46-year-old payroll professional jobless for a while, feeling

Hi Gilbert,
Sorry to bother you.
But I really need to talk to one of your counsellors.
I desperately need emotional support as I’m feeling very down right now.
I’m having suicidal thoughts, even though I don’t really have any burning
financial issues at hand right now.
While I can still survive on my own savings for a while, I can help but
wonder about the future.
What about the many more years to come?
I’m currently 46 years old.
It’s all these thoughts of fear, desperation and hopelessness of not being
able to find a job that are the most chilling, horrifying and demoralizing!
You see, due to health reasons, I quit my job.
I needed to recuperate and nurse back my health very badly.
I was extremely overweight, depressed and fatigued after working long and
crazy hours.
I worked as a payroll professional for many years and it has taken a toll on
me.
And ever since then, I was unable to get my job back!
I have been sending out resumes and it’s either I do not get a reply from the
companies, or I’m not the successful candidate (even though I have many years of
experience).
I have only been called for two interviews after so long.
I’m really in a dilemma right now.
I don’t know where I’m going and I don’t see any meaning in life.
In fact, I’m already in such a depressed and discouraging state that I don’t
even want to send out resumes anymore.
I want to save myself from all the humiliation and degradation.
I have thought of switching lines, but even then, I am not aware of the
opportunities out there when most of the jobs require a certain level of
proficiency and experience.
And to stick back to my job is also another huge problem because no one will
hire a payroll professional that has not been processing payrolls for more than
1.5 years.
So the longer I’m out of job, the longer I won’t be able to rejoin my
profession.
See the kind of vicious circle I’m stuck in?
I feel so hopeless and lost right now.
Luckily, I still have your organisation to turn to.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you.
Regards,
Dan
