anyone else struggling to find a job? :/

Venting

I am desperately looking for a new job and it has felt impossible. I don’t even know how many jobs I’ve applied to at this point…I’ve only gotten a few interviews and those went nowhere. I’m barely making rent each month and now my cat had an emergency so I’m over 2,000 in debt now. between being rejected by employers constantly, my cat being sick, and now having even more debt, i have been crying like everyday. I just need a stable job that pays well but it feels like everything’s a dead end. I either get rejected or ghosted.

i am currently an independent housecleaner (I’m also a musician in a band but we don’t make much money lol). I initially was working for a small housecleaning business but was unexpectedly let go last year…I was allowed to keep my clients and continue independently which I did because I didn’t know what else to do. now I’m realizing I have no idea what I’m doing, I don’t understand how taxes work for me and I don’t think I can do it anymore, it’s driving me insane. i feel like I’m just digging myself into a deep hole and idk what to do about it. on top of that, I have developed sciatica nerve pain which often makes my job difficult and painful. before housecleaning, I was working retail and/or barista work. dropped out of college so no degrees or nothing.

I just don’t know what to do. I’ve applied to so many jobs that I should qualify for…I’ve also been looking at entry level receptionist jobs (since I have customer service and scheduling experience) but have been consistently rejected. I’ve even started applying to jobs that I don’t want and I’m not even getting those 😂 idk if it’s because I’m trans? or because I don’t have the right experience? I’m mostly venting but if you have ANY advice, I’d love to hear some lol. I am just feeling so hopeless
