Waves,

For years, I've had A LOT of problems regulating my sleep cycle. Not unlike you, it gets worse when I'm unemployed. Although I'm permanently disabled now. I've tried getting back on track slowly with some success, but I've also made the mistake(s) of taking 7a-3p jobs hoping that I'll be able to maintain that schedule, resulting in trouble waking up and being chronically late.

I know I don't interview well when I'm depressed. It's a hard time to be confident and to play up your strengths; and hard to convince someone else you deserve to get a job when you're questioning your own self worth.

Right now, I'm having trouble taking my pills on time because I either forget to take them on time, or don't wake up when I should. The problem there is I have one drug that can only be taken every 12 hours because of seizure risks. So, I've had to put that pill aside several times & that sucks because it's the pill that's supposed to improve my gait.

I think it's a good sign that you're trying to regulate your sleep cycle- and feeling that interviews will be doable if you have to get up early.

When you're ready:
Have you considered taking on a temp job, even if it's not in your field? I'm sure that you have lots of skills that you can emphasize to get a temp job doing something- even part time.

If you're not getting calls back, maybe you need to redo your resume or have it done professionally for you? You don't have to be dishonest, it may just be a matter of how you're marketing yourself- not due to a lack of skill or worth.
Also, follow up calls are important to let potential employers know you're serious. Sometimes those calls can lead to your resume rising to the level of interviews.

I hope you feel better soon!!!

(((((((HUGS)))))))))

p.s. How long have you been at 100mg of zoloft now?
