Recently I have great stress because of insecurity financially.
It causes me sleep problems and eyeball nerve pain.
I admit it helps by reading article on how to managing stress, but it is only temporarily.
As a person close to 45, my choice of job is very narrow if compared to 18-30, or 25-40 age group.
I started to post in service noticeboard and job enlistment as freelancer for hire, but it still doesn't help, probably no one will notice and use my service.
Does anyone have any insight to manage my stress? I mean having income is certainly a cure, but I see no light in the tunnel, as my skillset and physical strength are somewhat limited, not suitable for blue collar or white collar, but maybe in the middle, e.g, outdoor dispatching a bit, indoor clerical work a bit.
My father is a retiree and he wants me to work...... this is the source of stress. I do not have savings either.
Is anyone in the same boat?

As the malay saying goes 'kais pagi, makan pagi, kais petang, makan petang'.
My salary is RM 1450 average, no matter in 2002 or 2021. Maybe because I have diploma only.
Really, not enough for myself. Luckily no wife no kids. And I ride motorcycle .
I see lots of people also jobless, but hopefully they can get a new job in the future....
Hey there, sorry to hear what you have to go through.
With your father being a retiree, someone has to work to keep the family going. What sort of freelance work are you talking about?
Rather than only posting in Svc Noticeboard and JE that you're available, proactively seek for jobs. Perhaps you need to know what sort of job you CAN do and start emailing relevant companies directly to pitch to them.
Additionally you can try getting part time over the weekend to support your family. Example as someone mentioned - as food delivery, or you can even try getting part time as a waiter or work in fast food chain. You get food, and you get to bring home some $.
Diploma or Degree is only a ticket into the workforce. You can move forward with a better pay grade when you move up the rank in the company, or when you jump ship to another company.
I'll also suggest you see a psychologist - the government hospital offers such service as well at reasonable/ low cost.
