Restatement or Paraphrasing
I am trying all the job sites, i am subscribed to them so i get emails every day. I am either unqualified or inexperienced
user

I understand. That will happen and it isnt anything personal. You have to stay positive. Do you have an updated resume?
assistant
Reflection of feelings
Yes. i won't give up of course, but i am very anxious about bills and my rent. i am a single mother with 1 daughter
user

That is a blessing in itself, having a daughter and being a mom. I know you are a great mom! Have you tried some online courses that may give you a little more experience?
assistant
Information
No, money is a big issue. I have no extra for courses.
user

I totally understand that. There are some free courses online that can be used or perhaps going in person (staying as safe as possible) into your local food store, clothing or pet store and having a chat with the manager

That is a good idea but I am very claustrophobic when i wear a mask (makes my anxiety go way up) even though I do wear the mask when i go out. I wish I could find more jobs to do from home, that is my dream.
user

The masks make a lot of people claustrophobic so i know how you feel but the good thing is that you're wearing it and staying safe for you and your daughter. I feel like working from home is everyone's ideal dream job and those are out there as well, they may just take a little longer to find.
assistant

Have you tried yoga exercises or meditation? That sometimes helps to clear and refresh the mind
assistant
Providing Suggestions
I have tried a few meditation apps on my phone, i never know if i am doing it right
user

Thats ok as long as you try doing it, eventually you'll be perfect at it. Is that what you do when you're feeling down and out?
assistant
