My solution to suicidal thoughts.

Ok lad, pull yourself towards yourself. If you're in dire straights now is a good time to grow a pair of balls.

My name is Robert, live in Johannesburg. I'm uneducated and desperately looking for any job that can earn me minimum amount of R2500 to R3500pm. I'm suffering from depression due to my dysfunctional family. My mother abuses me emotionally to the point where I became super-suicidal and my sister hasn't been talking to me since I came to live here in Gauteng. To prevent whatever words my mom throws at me every time I have to mouth-off her and that also makes me feel guilty of disrespecting her even though she doesn't worth my respect. I do not want to end up relying on drugs, antidepressants, or alcohol because of all these (i do not do any of those). I hate stealing and begging. All I want to do is find a cheaper place to stay, put bread on the table and live peacefully without being suicidal. If anyone lives around Johannesburg and is willing to help me with any type of job please PM me or phone me on <removed by mod - use PM only>.

Excuse my broken English, I'm only learning.

Sorry I can't help, but good luck to you and stay strong dude. Things will come right.
 
Invest in yourself (education, volunteer, etc.) the rest will follow if you're patient.
 
Removed my pic. You just never know. Wouldn't want to be the one to push this guy over the edge. That's not how I roll.
 
Fck man that's bad. I'm sorry.

Aren't there any government jobs the guy can 'walk into' so he can atleast just have some sort of base to start off from and upskill from there?

Cleary he is willing to work which is more I can say for the majority of government employees.
 
My situation would drive one to alcohol and drug abuse. As useless as I feel about myself I'm proud that I don't depend on any harmful substances because five years down the road when my financial problems are over I'd still have to fight the addiction.

I would love to volunteer and help others as I know how it feels to be helpless, but unfortunately that won't help me put bread on the table. I'd still starve. By the way I can't concentrate on anything when hungry, let alone studying.
 
I would approach woolworths. They have branches everywhere and are always looking for staff. There's scope to move up in the company if you perform well. You may be able to apply online on www.woolworths.co.za.

If they require a typed document PM the information to me and I'll type them up for you, but probably online is all you need.
 
At 23 you should list your skills or interests and what you have been doing the 5 years after school. Also subjects were you good at, at school. Create yourself a CV. Do you like working with your hands? What types of jobs can you do. Without providing this your post sounds like begging and blackmail.

For a temporary job you could try your local ANC councillor. They have spent a billion rand so far on election campaigning. I see paid volunteers handing out pamphlets in suburbs everywhere. Might not ethically be the greatest thing to do but if you have to eat, you have to eat.

This sounds like counter productive but you could approach the people you have stolen from and ask their forgiveness. People value honesty as it is so rare these days, they might give you a 2nd chance

Just a suggestion... from what I've read volunteering at food banks/soup kitckens could literally (possibly) put bread on your table, maybe even lead to job opputinities.

By saying "I hate stealing and begging" I mean I'd rather endure what I'm going through or surrender to my suicidal thoughts than do any of those. That ain't an option for me. I never stole from anyone.*
