I'm a recent college grad with a temp job working as a seasonal manager for a leasing company that does temporary body art at Six Flags theme parks. So, the job isn't year around and therefore I have been actively searching for another job (graphic design is my field) for like the past two weeks; sent out resumes to positions through creatives on call, and three major staffing agencies---no luck and it sucks. I've also been looking for internet jobs that are the real money making deal; no scams (started using Inboxdollars.com 2 days ago and not making much money). So lately, every free waking minute I have, all I've been doing is job hunting non stop and finding ways to earn extra money online. I'm so stressed. I've been getting panic attacks and crying spells and have nightmares about my current job. When I'm not at work or sleeping, I just go straight to my laptop, hunting, and I sometimes forget to eat and my eyes start to burn and water. I also get headaches, an runny nose, and have stomach problems. I saw the Dark Knight movie with my friend yesterday and I felt guilty for going cause I felt I had to get back to job hunting. I got depressed and couldn't focus on the movie. While hanging at my friends house tonight, I was literally glued to my laptop all night long and he tried to get me to sit down with him to watch a Cheech and Chong movie. When he tried to get my attention, I got p*ssed and started yelling at him and lashed out saying "not now I'm busy." I then justified to him that I have to keep tweeking my resume and job hunt non stop, or else I'll lose my mind. He thought I was taking the job seeking thing way too seriously and that kinda made me even more mad at him. I feel a little nauseous right now and my eyes kinda burn. So, do I possibly need to tone things down a little and take a breather? What does anyone else here think?
