and I am still can't find a job. I am getting so desperate I just might go on welfare. Is anyone out there in the same boat?

1. No I am on disability
but coming off it is hard. You lose your safety net and everything is supposed to be hunky dory. :eyes:

Can you do construction, landscape or housecleaning?

I don't know if you can get on welfare unless you have a disability. You should qualify for food stamps, and there may be an agency in your area that helps with utility payments. Apply for Section 8 housing assistance. approach your creditors to let them know what's going on. Try to pay little bits. Been there myself.

Best of luck to you. I wish I could make it better.

2. No but I feel for you.
Unemployed is so scarry. Don't be afraid to go on welfare. You'll pay it back when you're employed. That's why it's called a safety net.
