Heh, I'm in a similar situation. I've been out of work for over 6 months. I've been unable to find anything in my city, and now employers are starting to question why I can't find work.

Truth is every nearly all tech jobs where I live pay very poorly and are mostly dead-end development agency type gigs.

I don't have any money to relocate, nor do I have any money to commute for interviews elsewhere. Plus, it's very rare to find employers willing to help with such things.

Another problem is that I was suckered into a dead-end development job since I left school so I haven't really got much "professional" experience with modern technologies. That kind of annoys me because I've been coding for 10 years and I've been keeping up with things in personal projects, but apparently that doesn't count.

Oh, and I have anxiety and autism so my personal is toxic for most agile development roles. That's probably why I was let go.

I've basically lost everything now. My house, car and now that I'm back with my parents I'm living hour away from my girlfriend which I don't have any real way to see. I suppose in some ways it's liberating to no longer have to worry about losing the things I care about.

I never drank a day in my life until now, but lately I drink every day just to help me through. People say alcohol does't work, but that's not true. I'd recommend it to anyone in my situation.

I'll keep trying to find something, I'm a fighter at heart, but I'm not holding out much hope anymore.

I'm not sure how much long things can carry on like this.

Best of luck, I hope everything works out for you man.
