I wrote that wrong, didn't I?
What I meant was it can be very difficult to express yourself.

I really do understand why that would be awful. I suspected that you had had that experience after reading your poem. It must be really hard to see someone you regarded as a good friend and mentor suddenly display the symptoms of being a pedophile.
OK, I did say I would share what had me depressed, so here goes (sorry it's gonna be long):
I dropped out of high school as soon as I legally could. My family is highly academic (father and uncles are university professors) on one side, and artistic on the other (mother is sculptor, sister has BFA). I never fit in with family expectations, so I ended up working as a courier, retail sales person, bookkeeper, and fast food sales person. I got married, had 2 boys, then got divorced (my ex is a paranoid schizophrenic).
After I left my husband, I moved here to Guelph, and stayed home with the kids for awhile. They were 1 and 3 at the time. When they were a little older, I ran my own daycare from home and volunteered at the kids school. Eventually, the program that I was on (for single mothers) was eliminated by the government. The kids were 7 and 9, so I decided to take the government up on their 1 year offer for people who had dropped out of high school to finish up.
I went to a college upgrading program. This included extensive career counseling. My top 5 careers turned out to include engineer, electronic technician, and computer programmer. Based on these results, I applied for a course called Electronic Engineering Telecommunication Systems. It had the reputation of being the second hardest course at our college, next to robotics. I graduated in 2004.
During this time I didn't have a family doctor. We live in a community that does not have enough doctors to go around. So, it had been a really long time since I had had a routine check up. When school finished, I took the summer off, thinking that I would recover lost energy that I had expended during school. However, it turned out that I had a really advanced case of iron deficiency anemia (your body doesn't make enough blood). It took months to get this diagnosed through walk-in clinic doctors, and them it took another 6 months to treat it. During this time my father was kind enough to support me.
I started looking for real work at the end of August. My red blood count was almost normal. I didn't think that it would be that hard to find a job, considering that I live in a very high tech oriented area, and people with my diploma usually have no problem finding work. However, I have not been able to get a job in my field. I have worked a bit (house painting), but every time I have an interview I get asked why there is this big gap on my resume after I finished school. And no matter how good the interview felt, they always pick someone else even if they throw me the "you were the second choice" bone.
Right now I am about 1 week away from resorting to taking my retail resume out for Christmas work. I never had any trouble finding a job before I went back to college. So I am really depressed about that.
Again, sorry it was so long.

Its kinda weird, i think. Doesnt the fact that youre been on many jobs before count? cause here in sweden more jobs you got its more easier to get one. - well, im not so good at these sort of things since i only worked 2 times in my life, but i know how hard it can be without having a work. ive seen it both on my father and my boyfriend wich both gets very moody each time they dont get a job. it isnt that my dad cant handle work its cause of his hips and so, he has a long histoy with diffrent illness... Myself im very scared of the thougth not finding any job when the time have come.
I cant do much then say that i hold my thumbs for you, its quite brave too admit/say (?) this problem, being both a parent and going to school is hard. my sister is doing the same thing ( soon im gonna tell y life story XP ) - I cant fully see how it is since im too young and only seen how others situation is but i can guess.
I hope ir will turn allrigth for you

I can't believe no one will give you a chance. Eventually someone will give you the chance you need though.

Orion you are a Cancer on the cusp of Gemini. You have a sympathetic and generous nature, and an incisive, intellectual mind. You may be famous for your brain but those close to you know you are a softie inside. Sometimes your heart and mind are at odds with each other; emotions affect you more than you like to admit. You have a special touch for getting along with people from all walks of life. You need stimulation and change, and will become discontent if stuck in one place for too long.
You were born in the year of the horse; your element is fire-metal. You can be more resolute and perservering than other horses- but only if you are motivated. You need a lot of stimulation to stop from geting bored. You are headstrong and irrepressible. Metal can restrain horses, smothering their passionate natures. This is not necessarily a good thing as horses need to give vent to their emotions.
Cancer (the sign) makes this horse able to appreciate the needs and wishes of others. Being more sensitive, you are very dependant on the love and support of close family and friends.

Thanks eveyone for being supportive. I really do think that I will get a job soon. It's just such an up and down feeling....eveytime I have an interview, I start to imagine a life with that company even if I don't really want to work there. I have 3 inteviews this week, and only one for a job I'd want. But I'd be happy even if I had something unrelated to my diploma in the short term. I just don't want to work retail again!

Wolfchild, you are a sagittarius of the first decanate. You look for experience and adventure. You want to deepen your understanding of life and are usually a student of human nature. People know they can trust what you tell them, for you are open and aboveboard. In addition, you have a special talent for pleasing others by what you say. You believe strongly in freedom, in the right of each person to choose an individual pathway. Because you have such wide-ranging interests, you may find it hard to commit yourself completely to a marriage or love affair. Emotional discord is extremely distressing to you; you strive to surround yourself with harmonious relationships.
You were born in the year of the dragon; your element is wood-earth. You like to dedicate yourself to a cause or project. You are more cooperative and open to teamwork than a typical dragon, who is just as likely to embark on a solitary quest. You dont mind paying attention to the details of a plan. Earth brings patience to the dragon, so you are not in such a hurry. Stability and security are important to you. You will probably equate them with financial independence.
Sagittarius dragons are friendly and relitively quiet. You are a fun-loving optimists. You are proud of your ability to get along with anyone and,unlike most dragons, you do not suffer from arrogance. Expressive but not sentimental, you are not afraid to take great risks. ______________________________________________
Orion, I have already done your astrological reading. Its the last post on the previous page.

cool. thats actually pretty accurate, except for the cooperative/teamwork part. i either take over or fade into the background. i'm not much of a people person. thank you!!
i just reread it out loud. i'm also not a patient person. however, i do sand up for my rights and others right to choose.

Antonious:
You are the same as Amelius in western astrological sun sign and decanate.
You are a tiger; your element is wood-fire. You are an incredibly active person. You are animated, exciting yet changeable. Sensitive to perceived slights, you often have a very quick temper and can soon become explosive. Fortunately, bursts of temper never last long with you. To really enjoy life, you need to try and relax and take things at a more controlled pace.
Pisces tigers are sympathetic, loving, very creative but often woefully indecisive. You will only acheive inner piece when the tiger is fully under control.
