Merry Christmas! I dropped Reddit and all other social media except for YT a couple years back after I found HN. It's not perfect, but probably the best you can find out there in terms of etiquette, curiosity and interesting and generally respectful and benevolent conversation. So thanks to y'all for making this a corner of the internet that I'm truly grateful for.

This has been an awful year for me. Unable to find work, having to sell off important assets. And for some reason iOS autocorrect is still terrible. Here's to hoping next year will be better.

I've been there. The biggest struggle I had was with the constant self-doubts and cynicism. Just when you need the most motivation it seems that everything is against you. All I can say is it's normal to feel like trash during the job search and sometimes things aren't as bad as they seem. It can obviously be hard to believe that after spending like 6 - 12 months unemployed but its true. You're not any more or less as a person. The economy is just brutal at the moment.
