Unemployment has an even more bitter face than it seems: the invisibility and stigmatization of those who suffer from it. Added to this is the complicit silence of many mental health professionals, who contemplate its obvious consequences. More and more unemployed people need psychological and psychiatric care.
While the road remains difficult, there are many voices who denounce this situation, because it cannot be fully resolved if there is no real awareness of the magnitude of what is happening, this is not victimistic pessimism: prolonged unemployment and poor working conditions can be life-threatening to health.
- A study by the British newspaper BMC shows that long-term unemployment causes mental disorders and that precarious work multiplies somatic diseases.
- Directly related to the suffering of high levels of stress (one of the main causes of depression).
- French doctor Michael Debout recently published “Trauma of unemployment?(The Trauma of Unemployment).
- A book explaining how to withstand the adverse effects of work inactivity.
Given the impossibility and inability of health authorities to end this situation, certain psychological observations must be taken into account, everyone can help you understand that your feelings of frustration are more frequent than it seems and that asking for professional help is not a problem. “pointless thing. “
Knowing what has already happened, we will be more aware and tolerant of our feelings and will take, with more perspective, the following observations on our current unemployment situation.
Doing a job for which you are overqualified is a reality shared by many young people of the current generation, for example, some branches of engineering or architecture are seeing their job opportunities explode in some places.
This situation means that people have to do a job much less qualified for simple survival, neglecting to improve their profession, when this happens, it is good to observe a perspective: let yourself do a job that guarantees their survival, but does not destroy their Dreams.
Although with more effort, the important thing for personal development is not to lose sight of your values and goals, despite combining these goals with less qualified jobs, this seems obvious, but losing perspective will cause you to lose your sight and prevent you from being aware and whether you will continue browsing towards a port or continue aimlessly.
Playing with guilt is one of the most powerful control strategies by those with low morale, who seek to impose it on others by playing with their feelings. This manipulation takes place from the private to the public.
One of the most common reasons today in therapy alludes to this fact, honest, hardworking and responsible people who have a tremendous sense of guilt for the difficult situation they go through, feel victimized, but also feel guilty and ambiguous at times. becomes unbearable.
Taking responsibility for your situation is helpful, but taking all the blame when it’s not yours is devastating.
You can fight individually, but the truth is that, given the number of people in the same situation, the relationship with a group is a good option, the ideal is to have people who share time and interests.
There are high job goals, which sometimes determine a life away from conformism. Avoid people who restrict your view of the field of work: they also end up reducing the rest of your looks.
Approaching a group in the same unemployment situation, but in continuing education, can increase not only the chances of success, but also self-esteem and motivation for change. We must also understand that selfishness is sometimes an act of generosity towards others: we cannot waste time, we cannot waste others.
We ourselves are our own worst enemies when it comes to prejudice and restrictive labels. If we look back and see what we have learned so far, we will have momentum. If we think about all that remains to be done and how inaccessible our goal seems, we will be paralyzed.
Sometimes the fear is so great that we seek an excuse good enough not to commit ourselves, for fear of “failure”, to evaluation and social pressure on everything we have achieved. If we continue to assume the future and valuation that others make ourselves as perspective, we will stand still. We will not move forward or backward; so you have to decide if you want to stay neutral until you fall off the cliff.
Take more time to change your situation, as a whole, without too many waits. Make sure that the time spaces for daily reflection are spaced and at the same time as short as possible. Unemployment tends to increase the instability of neurotic people.
Is laziness one of the main reasons not to find a job and at least it’s up to you?It’s likely that everything is trained, a trade as well.
Don’t leave much room for manoeuvre over time, it often results in waiting times and, in particular, emotional tensions. Even if you can’t work, training for a particular job in such a way that employers not only think you’re qualified, but you’re ready and ready for a daily, competitive routine.
