My solution to suicidal thoughts.

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.*

You have the internet. Rather spend your time googling unskilled labour opportunities, internships, leaderships, youth opportunities. Research all the government youth employment programmes. You might think you've hit the bottom. You haven't. When you are in your 30s all these programmes won't be available to you. Hell at your age and your situation I'd even consider joining the army. I think the cutoff is 27 last time I checked.

Point is. Rather use the internet to find all the opportunities you don;t know about than spending your time wasted on suicidal thoughts.
 
The army is really not a bad option. It's taken many young people who were hopeless and turned them into useful self-confident adults, and I don't know about this country but elsewhere they provide additional benefits in terms of study grants.
 
Bananas help overcome depression due to high levels of tryptophan, which is converted into serotonin -- the happy-mood brain neurotransmitter.

You understand how this works? Do you know how many bananas or any other foodstuff you have to eat to help overcome depression? :erm:

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.

What kind of job you looking for?
Education level? Matric or didn't finish school?
Salary negotiable with live in accommodation?
 
Hi Thibosss... I know the feeling.
Putting it all out in public is one step, asking for help with no freebies expected, that's also good. However, it will not guarantee anything.
My suggestion is to go out there. The expected salary can easily be covered by a retailer (PnP, Woolworths, etc..) or a driving job.
Considering this being an IT by nature forum, you probably have some incline towards it. Offer yourself as a techie, cabler, etc to a networking company. The skills development will be great within those companies to head towards Admin, Engineer, project manager, the like.... good luck good man.

Any job -- as long as it isn't an extremely hazardous works. I've matriculated in 2010. And yes, the salary can be negotiated. I pray that a good samaritan would help me get out of this situation.
 
Thank you all for the suggestions, I will definitely try the retail sector because I won't have money to attend the Army trainings and if I ask from my mother she'd tell me how useless I am and that i'm wasting her money and that I won't succeed in whatever I'm hoping to achive and that will definitely worsen my depression I won't be able to focus on the camp. I know may be coming off as someone who's full of excuses but I'm actually being logical.
 
Dude, you have the right attitude to succeed. My suggestion to you would be to post on public Facebook community pages in the area you are local to. I have seen posts from people with a plight similar to yourself, and who have received offers from community members or local businesses.
 
Contact Lifeline for a start. They may be able to help you. Wont cost you a cent.
