Still here, just having a hard time with the work stuff. The internship at my former company which I was pretty much guaranteed an interview for was cancelled. I haven't heard back yet on the other internships I interviewed for - and one of which I would've heard if I made it to the next round.
I just have a really hard time with unemployment. I need the structure of having a place to go and be every day - I've been in the same pajamas since Monday night. It doesn't even feel worth it to change when I'm broke (as my unemployment check still hasn't come) and I have nowhere I actually have to be.
Just ate an entire pint of ice cream. Yeah, I don't even. I just feel so ridiculously alone these days and that everything keeps being taken away from me no matter what I do. I can't seem to make headway in the dating world, I've been unemployed off and on since 2009. I loved my job, I want to go back, I want to be someone again. I can't deal with large stretches on inactivity.
I have class only two days a week right now - Monday nights and then Thursday afternoon and evening. I do well these days but the rest of the time... I know I should get up and do something the other days but it's like I can't get moving. It's like there's no point on those days.

Don't let unemployment get you down. I know when I was unemployed, I still got up every day, and dressed in business clothes. Then I would go to the computer and check the job sites. Also, I would go to the employment office and see if they had any job training classes like database management or something. If they didn't have any training, I would ask if any other organizations are doing job training. If that failed, I would look for tutorials online for some kind of marketable skill (usually the skills posted in the job postings). My view was that if I wasn't employed, I would look for employment or train in some employable skill. If you're not on the job, you might as well educate yourself. Don't give up and something will turn up.

Oh, Sue, honey, I'm so sorry you're feeling so down. :( Is there anywhere you can go to volunteer your time and talents? It won't pay the bills, but it might give you a chance to network, and it would let you be productive and needed. Don't give up. The light at the end of the tunnel must be right around the next bend. I know it feels like there's no end in sight, but nothing lasts forever, and that means change is always on the way. You will get through this.

Thanks, ladies. It's just tough adjusting to unemployment - particularly when I'm still waiting on my first unemployment check. :(
