Hi:
Sorry to hear about your predicament. That's tough. And yeah, I know being on this side of a certain age is an impediment (although it's not stated as such).
In the very short term, what about a seasonal job? It'll bring in some cash, literally put you (and your head) in a different place a few days a week and potentially provide new connections.
And while I know change is tough, would you consider moving to a different part of the country? Job markets and costs of living can vary greatly between communities and you may find that your skills and abilities are in high demand somewhere else.
If you wish to discuss, send me a PM through Clarity for 15 free minutes.
Cheers,
Kerby
