F28, depressed, about to be unemployed in a country that isn’t my own, perpetually single and with few friends. Ever since they told me they can no longer offer me a permanent contract because of budget constraints, I’ve been slowly losing my spark; I feel lost. I cry at every session with the psychologist and the psychiatrist. I’ve sent out about twenty applications, had one interview, and that’s it. Two months have already gone by. Tonight, the psychologist asked me if, apart from my mum who came to visit me recently, I’ve been talking to anyone at the moment. No. She asked if there’s anything in particular I’d like to do these days. And again, no. She says she thinks I’m losing faith in a better future. And that’s exactly how it is. I’m so scared. Yes, I’m with RAV and I know about 143. I still feel hopeless submitted by /u/Background-Apple-555

Sorry if this sounds a bit simplistic, but presumably if you put out 1000 applications over, say, 40 work days (or 25 a day), you might get 50 interviews.
(Best wishes.)
