Hi I’m just feeling really down about my situation right now. I was made redundant about two years ago, I was on a good salary, had a lot of responsibilities (as in I was a manager) and was normal working member of society. I tried and tried to get a job for about 6-8 months but couldn’t and eventually as money ran out I started to go into survival mode looking for ways of making €100 turn into €200, bit of a delboy. Two years on and I’m surviving on welfare and I’m running a small but illegal business (won’t go into detail but it’s not drugs, robbing or anything serious like that). The problem I’m having is that I’m starting to feel really ashamed/embarrassed of myself for both been on welfare and for making extra money on top of that. I don’t know what to do, getting a job is dam near impossible at this stage. My ideal would be to start a normal business but can’t find the right one a moment. I know nobody can really help me here, I just need to get this off my chest as its eating me alive and I can’t talk to anybody in my life about it.
