Life at 18 is tough, really tough. You've recently left school/college and gone from being a decent sized fish in a small pond to competing against a multitude with more experience, strength and stamina to being a minnow in a huge sea. Its not easy, in fact its damned hard.
Don't be overwhelmed by it, its pretty much what so many of us have been through. Life is a marathon not a sprint. Draw breath, relax and plan a long slow battle to achieve what you want.
The ideal job won't arrive overnight, and will in all probability take many years to achieve.
Bladeplayer touches on something that will give you the feeling of achievement and fulfilment. Take on some volutary work. It will bring all sorts of personal and professional benefits. Employers look to see how people fill there time when they're not employed, and this sort of thing is viewed positively by them.
And don't forget to enjoy the simple things in life, especially at 18, because in anotherfew years your life will be so full you'll wish you were 18 again.
Good luck and best wishes from a wrinkly old Hobbit
Hobbit, thankyou that made a lot of sense. Yeh I think I'm going to take a look into voluntary work somewhere for a bit, seems one of the better options. And I'm doing pretty well to enjoy some of the little things at the moment, only thing keeping me sane haha. I just feel like I can't do much because I'm unemployed, not the fact I don't have money more the fact I feel like I shouldn't be out doing certain things/enjoying myself that involve money because I'm unemployed. Meh, I don't know.
Thanks Hobbit!
