I have never been this angry and any person, God and Jesus or anyone than I am now over this recession. This is the worst thing that has ever happened. I am so livid I am even starting to get angry at my mom. I really am starting to think the recession will go on until the end of time.

I dislike women even more than before becuase I feel that them having babies is one of the causes of the recession by adding more people to this crowded earth, causing credit crunches and housing crises, and taking what few jobs there are.

I would be willing to trade my family for a job. This is getting desperate and I have no future. I hate God and Jesus for causing this recession.

I don't know what to do. This is getting me so angry to the point I really do think I am going to lose it. I would rather lose a family member than be unemployed for the rest of my life.

Does anyone know what they are doing to get through this recession? I am too angry to pray.

I do agree with you that being unemployed is one of the worst events in a person's life. I think if I were to rank the worst events of my life it would go something like this: 1. Losing a loved one. 2. Having a creep stalk me. 3. Being unemployed for seven months. 4. Being diagnosed with asthma.

I sometimes get so stressed about my job situation that I wish I had access to a punching bag so I could hit something and feel better. That being said, I have to keep sane or I will never find a job. I have been trying to go to church to help with my sanity and it does help. I choose to forgive everyone involved in my unemployment because what is it going to help if I stay angry with them? It won't help me at all. I have to keep working on finding a job. An interviewer can detect anger.

You say you blame women, but there are plenty of women struggling with unemployment. I am one of them. It is way too easy to look for someone to blame, but I want to stop blaming others for my circumstances. It is easy to blame the government, former employers, colleges, coworkers, interviewers, the world, men, children, illegal aliens, etc. Sitting around and blaming others is only wasting valuable job searching time. If it is always someone's fault, then what incentive do we have to improve?

I have honestly gotten to the point that I would sell all my possessions to get a job. I too, am very desperate. I often worry that I will never see the end of my unemployment. It is really tough not having work and having asthma. I struggle to pay for meds on $265 a week in unemployment. I often worry about the day coming when I have an asthma attack and no inhaler to relieve it.

Right now, I am looking to God to help me get through this horrible time. He didn't cause the recession. The recession was caused by humans who refused to live within their means and government who encouraged everyone to spend beyond their means.

It's us men and our desires for them that cause them to have babies..... so I can't "dislike" them. And, since you say "more than before", did you dislike your mother, she's a woman.....

Women can't make babies without men--or did you forget that little fact of life?

I hope you're a troll because if not, well, get some help.

First, you will not be unemployed for the rest of your life. This is a recession and it will pass.

Second, I think you have too many issues and need professional help. If you cannot afford private therapy, there are many free clinics around the country. Please find one and good luck.

Can't find a job? Move to a place where there are jobs! Check job listings, see what careers are in demand, then work to improve your skills so that you can get those jobs! Offer to work for less! Yes, there are factors greater than ourselves that have caused this problem -- we all have our theories (mine is our wages, taxes are too high and there's way too much regulation and we are not competing globally; others think lack of regulation is to blame, who cares, you need to take responsibility for your own life and adjust accordingly).

Women don't spontaneously get themselves pregnant (if that were the case there would be a LOT less births), and thank God I'm not related to you. When I lost my job it was family that saw me through it, almost a whole year out of work. Now that this same family member has lost their employment and their home, I am turning around and helping them.

When times get hard, families come together for support. Despite what you said, hopefully you can turn to yours for some affirmation and strength.

That is a very telling, and extremely frightening remark.
